"Lengthof carapaxin amale, 23.6™"; breadth, 33,4"^™; ratio, 1 : 1.41." 



"Egmont Ke}^, Fla.; Col. E. Jewett. Aspiuwall ; F. H. Bradley. 



Specimens from Egmont Key appear quite distinct from specimens 

 of Serbstii from the same locality, having the carapax broader and 

 much more convex, the teeth of the antero-lateral margin less promi- 

 nent and somewhat different in form, and the coloration quite 

 different ; but specimens of Herbstii, in the Society's collection, from 

 Bahama and Florida, approach quite closely to the variety, in the 

 breadth and convexity of the carapax, the form of the teeth of the 

 antero-lateral margin of the carapax, and even slightly in coloration." 



The following measurements of three specimens from ]Maranhao, 

 Brazil (coll. C. F, Hartt, 1870), occur in Prof Smith's MSS. notes: 



I have personally examined the original specimens described by 

 Professor Smith (Yale Mus. coll.) and numerous others from various 

 localities, which were also studied by Benedict and Rathbun. 



Its range is essentially the same as that of var. Herbstii. 



Eupanopeus Herbstii, var. or subspecies, minax, nov. 

 Plate XV, Figure 2. 

 A single large male was taken by us in 1901. This is a large, stout 

 crab, for one of this group. Its legs appear to be relatively longer than 

 in var. obesiis and other allied forms. Its carapace is convex and 

 more swollen on the flanks, with the postero-marginal outlines 

 decidedly convex, when seen from above. Its antero-marginal teeth 

 are relatively large and more prominent than in the related forms. 

 The coalesced first and second teeth are not very unequal ; the first 

 is smallei', short, acute, triangular ; the second, which is separated 

 half way to base by a broad, regularly curved notch, is rather larger 

 and broader, concave in front and convex posteriorly. On the left 

 side these teeth are much more unequal, apparently due to some 

 injury to the first. The notch between the second and third is 

 narrow at bottom. The third tooth is especially large, wide, and 

 broadly rounded, or arcuate outwardly ; the fourth and fifth teeth 

 have acute tips, directed obliquely outward and upward ; the 

 foui'th has the anterior edge subtrnncate and but little inclined 

 forward, with the posterior edge arcuate ; the fifth is a little shorter 

 and narrower, thickened and triquetral at base, with a sharp tip
