CALIFORNIA STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA. 147 



about two-thirds the length of the anterior portion of the carapace; corner 

 transverse and scarcely dilated. Eye-scales subovate, more or less con- 

 cave on the dorsal surface, the subterminal spine visible from above. 

 Antennal acicle reaching but little beyond the eyes, exceeding them by 

 much less than half the length of the terminal joint; acicle uot nearly 

 reaching the corneas or the middle of the last joint of the peduncle. Chel- 

 ipeds very unequal, the right one elongated in adults, devoid of pubes- 

 cence, and strongly granulated; merus a little less than one-half longer 

 than high, the anterior portion of both lower edges denticulated; lower 

 surface furnished with two rounded tubercles; outer surface convex and 

 roughened as in Samuelis; carpus oblong, more than one-half longer than 

 wide, but not twice as long; upper surface evenly convex and strongly 

 granulated; sides flattened; upper edges rounded; hand oblong, nearly 

 twice as long as wide, slightly wider and about one-sixth longer than the 

 carpus, the upper surface evenly convex and granulated, the granules 

 becoming larger on the pollex; outer margin acute, especially on thepollex, 

 and granulo-dentate; dactyl nearly as long as the palm, the outer edge 

 acute, granulo-dentate; tips of the fingers calcareous; smaller cheliped 

 nearly devoid of pubescence; merus compressed; carpus rather stout, the 

 upper margin sharp and armed with 5-7 spines; the upper part of the 

 external surface is more or less spiuulous, the lower portion granulo- 

 rugose; hand oblong, wider than the carpus, and longer than the carpus 

 or merus; the supero-external surface rather wide at the base and strongly 

 granulated; supero-i-nternal edge marked proximally by a ridge, external 

 to which is usually a slight groove. Ambulatory legs spinous on the 

 upper edges; dactyls spinous below and armed with smaller spines above, 

 shorter than the propodi, not twisted, and armed with long, corneous 

 claws. 



Color in alcohol reddish; legs dark and marked with small bluish spots 

 behind the small tufts of setae; granules bluish.

Closely allied to granosimanus and Samuelis. Carapace glossy, the ante- 

 rior portion much longer than broad. Median tooth acute, the lateral 

 teeth represented by a convexity in the margin. Eye-stalks rather slender 

 and about two-thirds the length of the anterior portion of the carapace. 

 Eye-scales subovate, more or less concave above, and subacute, the sub- 

 terminal spine visible from above. The antennal peduncle somewhat
