Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 103 



more acute than the ocular spines, which were "conic-acute" ; 

 larger chela inflated, "oblong-oval, not compressed" ; carpus "very 

 small." He described the color of the larger chela as "white, tip 

 red, banded near the base of the fingers with white in the female 

 and white tipped with green in the male." 



The front of the carapace (see pi. 47, figs. 1,2) in the restricted 

 species has three teeth in the form of an equilateral triangle, the 

 rostrum being usually a little wider at the base, compressed, and 

 sometimes slightly longer than the orbital teeth ; in side-views 

 higher at base. 



The antennular peduncle is 4.8 to 5 times longer than its width ; 

 its articles are as 2: 1.5: I ; its basal spine or stylocerite reaches 

 to the distal third of the second article ; its external flagellum 

 branches at the tenth annulus. 



The carpocerite (fig. ib) is a little flattened; its length to its 

 width is about as 3.7 : i ; it extends beyond the antennular peduncle 

 by the length of the last article of the latter ; the scale, or scapho- 

 cerite, is narrow, width to length about as 1 : 7, up to 1 : 8.5 ; its 

 inner edge makes a very obtuse angle, not a regular curve ; its 

 lateral spine is a little longer than the antennular peduncle, and 

 shorter than the carpocerite. The basal spine or basicerite reaches 

 to the distal end of the first antennular article (or sometimes 

 farther, as figured) ; above its base is a small secondary spine, 

 rather longer than the width of its own base. 



The large chela (fig. la) is regularly ovoid, proportions of 

 fingers to total length is as i : 3.5 ; to height as i : 1.35 ; fingers to 

 palm as i : 2.5. The anterior dorsal margin, or inner side, has a 

 strong tooth, sharp at tip, often like a rather slender spinule. The 

 dactyl, as figured, is broad, larger than the fixed finger, its cutting 

 edge a little sinuous, dorsal edge curved distally, tip obtuse ; fixed 

 finger nearly straight, with inner edge a little sinuous. 



The smaller chela (fig. ic) in length is to the larger one about 

 as i : 2.7 ; fingers to total length, i : 2.25 ; to height, i : 0.8 ; to 

 length of palm, i : 1.25. It is therefore rather elongated, with 

 long fingers, which are slender, acute at tips, and a little curved 

 downward; the palm is narrow elliptical, about evenly curved 

 above and below ; its surface is plain ; the dactyl does not bear a 

 large tuft of hairs, but both fingers have several small tufts. 



Legs of second pair are slender; width of the carpus to its 

 length is about as i : 9.5 ; length of carpus to merus, i : 0.75.
