anteriorly in each terf^ite. First and second tergites witli 

 traces of the median keel only. Tergites 3-6 with three 

 ratlu r short granuhir keels, wliicli are restricted to the poste- 

 rior half of the segments ; the median one is much tlie 

 strongest and is continued forwards by a dark line. 



Stcrnt'tes smooth and siiining except for the last one, which 

 is finely granuhw and has four weak granuhir keels, the outer 

 pair lieiiig indistinct. 



Tail. — First segment of tail the widest, tho last two 

 segments sUghtly narrowed. Caudal keels finely granular. 

 In segments 1-3 they are ten in number; the superior and 

 tlie two uppermost lateral keels are weak in tliese segments, 

 especially in the third, tlie superior being weaker in the 

 second and third segments than in the first; median ventral 

 keels of second and third segments strong. In the fourth 

 segment the superior keel is practically absent, weak traces 

 of the anterior part of it alone remaining, and tlie superior 

 lateial has almost disappeared also; the median lateral and 

 tlie median ventral keels are absent. Only the inferior 

 lateral keels are present in the fiftli caudal segment, and their 

 end granules are eidarged. Intercarinal spaces finely 

 granular ; the granulation in the middle of the ventral surface 

 of the fourth segment is slightly coarser than t!iat of the 

 rest of the surface ; a number of the granules of the distal 

 end of the ventral surface of the fifth caudal seo-ment are 

 enlarged, and two longitudinal, almost keel-like series of 

 granules, wliich converge at the proximal end of the segment, 

 run down the centre of it. Upper surface of the segments of 

 tho tail rather weakly excavated and either quite smooth or 

 with a few scattered granules only ; a shallow dorsal depres- 

 sion is present just before the end of the fifth segment. 

 Vislcle very similar in shape to that of JS. andersoni ; it is of 

 fairly large size, but narrower than the last caudal segment, 

 and is smooth, shining, and punctured; a low and incon- 

 spicuous tubercle is present: at some distance below the sting. 

 Chela stout. Its femur is smooth below, but the dorsal 

 surtace is furnished with fine granules and has a weak 

 granular keel posteriorly and traces of an anterior keel. 

 Tibia much broader than the femur and than the hand 

 and devoid of granulation. Hand smooth and witiiout any 

 granules ; its fingers rather short, the movable one being 

 about twice the length of the hand-back and furnished with 

 five (?) weak series of granules (which are difficult to make 

 out) ; with the exception of the i)roxiraal series eacli of them 

 has a couple of outer granules at the proximal end and a 

 single laru'e Gjranule on the inner side.
