distinguishing" this genus from Galathea are not of high import- 

 ance. Henderson, with whorm other authors are in substantial 

 agreement, notes that the rostrum is slender and stiliform, with 

 a well-developed supraorbital spine on either side of its base; that 

 the carapace has the surface usually spinulose and the cardiac 

 area as a rule distinctly circumscribed ; that the chelipeds and 

 ambulatory limbs are elongated and slender, and that one or more 

 of the pleon segm'ents usually has a scries of spinules on the 

 anterior margin.

 On the gastric area the carapace has a transverse row of from 

 six to eight spinules parallel to the frontal margin ; there are 

 seven teeth on the lateral miargin, the largest in front; the hind 

 margin is unarmed. The seconci pleon segment has on its front 

 margin eight to ten spinules ; the remaining segments are 

 glabrous. The third maxillipeds have on the fourth joint two 

 prominent spines, the smaller of which is apical. The chelipeds 

 are not so elongated as in Munida rugosa; their joints are strongly 

 spinose ; there is little cavity and sometimes none between the 

 closed fingers ; the movable one has a tolerably conspicuous spine 

 on its outer margin near the base, and near the base of its cutting 

 edge one or two variably conspicuous teeth or tubercles. The 

 sternal plastron is without the numerous striated lines observable 

 in Munida rugosa- 



In their latest work Milne-Edwards and Bouvier say that M. 

 heteracantha Ortmann (1892), M. wi/iVom Henderson (1885), and 

 M. propinqua Faxon (1895) belong to the same group as M. 

 sancti-pauU, all with two spines on the fourth joint of the third
