Plate XIV, Figure 5. 



A small and very rare species. Easily recognizable by its trans- 

 versely elliptical and smooth carapace. The tips of the chelfe are 

 jet black. The carapace in our specimens, preserved in alcohol 

 for many years, is plain dull yellowish brown. Doubtless it has 

 changed A^ery much. Length of carapace about 8™'", breadth IS.o'""". 



This has not been found in any recent collection. Two specimens 

 in the Yale Museum were collected before 1877, by J. M. Jones (No. 

 3176). One has been given to the U. S. Nat. Museum. They were 

 identified by Miss M. J. Rathbun.

c. Last three marginal teeth acute, subequal in size, cusps of first two, or 

 coalesced tooth, nearly equal in height. Flanks of carapace not con- 

 vex Var. Herbstii
