A. E. Verrill — Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. 355 



purple and yellow ; hairs on the legs and carapace yellow ; under 

 parts and front of chelse white ; dactyl and thumb dark horn-color 

 with pale tips. 



The ai'eolations of the carapace and the transverse granulated 

 ruga? are even stronger than in the specimen just described, but 

 otherwise the same ; the marginal teeth are nearly the same, but a 

 trifle larger and more acute. They are much thickened vertically 

 at base and the posterior ones bend upward ; their edges and bases 

 are thickly covered with strong granulations which bear long hairs ; 

 the posterior tooth has a dorsal carina, granulated on its edge. The 

 transverse ridges of the carapace and especially of the front are 

 strongly granulated and bear long hairs in life. The frontal edge is 

 convex, prominent, granulated, and divided by a narrow median 

 notch ; each lobe is slightly sinuous, with the smaller, faint, outer 

 lobe rounded at the external angle. The outer orbital tooth is prom- 

 inent and acute, but smaller than the next and well separated from 

 it b}^ a wide concave notch. 



An excellent $ specimen in the collection of Prof. Kincaid (1903), 

 preserved with glycerine, is pale lemon-yellow with minute specks of 

 red-brown on the carapace and chelte ; larger blotches of the same 

 on the legs ; two brown hepatic patches ; a distal band of paler 

 yellow on the manus ; fingers smoky brown, pale at tips. The cara- 

 pace in life was covered with rather sparse hairs and small tufts of 

 longer ones ; the legs are hairy and with longer hairs on the front 

 edge. The areolation of the cai'apace is rather strong, with rather 

 numerous transverse rugae. The carpus has a deep distal groove 

 and also a series of irregular oblique grooves and granulated broken 

 ridges. The chelae have a slight dorsal longitudinal groove and very 

 minute granules. (See fig. 5, b, pi. xvi.) 



This appears to be a rather rare species at the Bermudas, or else 

 it has been generally overlooked by collectors. Nor is it common in 

 other regions. 



Its known range is not extensive. Florida Keys (Benedict and 

 Rathbun) ; St. Thomas (Smith).
