convex, and regularly tapered to the tip, which is very narrow, 

 and bears four small spines, the outer ones the shorter ; four dorsal

 of the outer lamella has two small spines at the notch ; outer basal

The color in life, according to Hay and Shore, is usually green, 

 sometimes gray or grayish red. Our Bermuda specimens were 

 nearly colorless.

 men, a female, is 48 mm ; length of rostrum, 12 mm ; of carapace,

Fort Macon and Beaufort, N. C., to Florida, Texas, Porto Rico,
