This species also has been found by Caiman to range 

 as far south as Puget Sound. It is quite different from 

 the other species of Pagurus here described. The cara- 

 pace is very short and broad and much harder than in 

 the other species, the whole surface being "granulate, 

 much resembling the back of a toad." The front is tri- 

 dentate and the rostrum is very long, reaching beyond 

 the middle of the short, stout eye-stalks. The antero- 

 lateral angles of the branchial regions are produced 

 forwards into a prominent process. The antennae are 

 longer than the chelipeds and the acicle is acute and 

 " notched along the upper part." The chelipeds are 

 elongated, very unequal in size, hirsute and granulate 

 below; "above they bear long rows of small tubercles 

 and reflect hues of green and gold with metallic lustre; 

 a pink hue is also reflected in some positions." Dactyls 

 of the left hand long and curved downwards. Ambula- 

 tory legs longer than the chelipeds, the dactyls twisted.
