Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 



21 



The telson is wider than long, tapered somewhat, subtruncate ; the 

 thickened basal portion is five-lobed, closely granulated and hairy. 

 The thin distal portion is covered with branched riblets, which are 

 covered with short, stiff setose hairs. The uropods have much 

 finer riblets. 



The second segment of the antennae is coarsely granulated proxi- 

 mally, broader than long; the outer edge is slightly convex and 

 forms nearly a right angle with the distal edge, which is nearly 

 straight ; the outer angle is formed by a small obtuse tooth ; the

distal median angle is occupied by two larger teeth, and the distal 

 edge has about eight or nine smaller obtuse teeth or crenulations. 

 The inner proximal lobe has four unequal obtuse teeth. The distal 

 segment is broadly and pretty evenly rounded, with the edge 

 crenulated. The basal segment is thickened and coarsely granu- 

 lated ; the inner distal angle bears three prominent, divergent, 

 obtuse teeth enclosing laterally, and nearly meeting in front of, 

 the rostrum. The rostrum is granulated like the carapace, slightly 

 bilobed, widest about the middle ; the distal edge is obtuse. 



The legs are short and stout, especially the. first pair. The 

 merus, carpus, and propodus of the third to fifth pairs have a large, 

 obtuse, granulated carina on the outer surface, bordered posteriorly 

 by a wide sulcus ; on the first and second pairs the carina is feeble, 

 except on the merus, where it ends in a prominent tooth. The
