short, rohnst, and without any noticeable external curvature 

 on the tibia, approaching what is seen in the genus Fhri/nus. 



a. Chelae short and thick, like those of P/try- 



7WS, the tibia scarcely bowed ; femur 

 armed basally in front -with a stronji- 

 spine standing above the two normal 

 long spines, as in Acaiithophrynus ; the 

 two inferior spines on the hand sub- 

 equal; the rest of the spiue-armature of 

 the chela substantially as in //. anmyer . alces, sp. n. 



b. Chelaj variable in form and length ; no 



spine on base of femur in front above 



the long inferior spines ; second spine on 



lo-wer side of hand much lunger than the 



first. 

 a\ An additional spine present upon the 

 femur of the chela between the second 

 and third long spines and one on the 

 inferior edge of the tibia between the 

 second and third long spines from the 

 distal end ; the two distal s))ines on 

 the uppers! de of the tibia small, weak, 

 and subequal; the penultimate spine 

 on the tibia below much longer and 

 stronger than the ultimate, and sub- 

 equal to the longest spine along this 



margin armiger, sp. n. 



b^. No supernumerary spine between the 

 second and third long spines on the 

 lower edge of the femur, and none be- 

 tween the second and third long spines 



from the distal end on the tibia .... chiracanihus, Gerv. ; longi-

(J. — Very closely related to T. Daiyi, Pocock (Ann. & 

 Wag. Nat. Hist. (7) v. p. 297, 1900), from Lacan, near 

 Eaheng, in Siam. The trunk, the chcla3, and anterior portion 

 of the carapace more granular. Trochanter of chela with or 

 without one small tooth in the middle of its straight upper 

 edge, the angular tooth represented merely by a blunt promi- 

 nence, immediately below which on the iimer side there are 

 twb small sharp spines. Tibial apoj^ht/sis with two or three
