This crab is easily recognized by its rough hairy carapace, sharp, 

 divergent, marginal teeth, denticulated frontal lobes, and the thickly 

 tuberculated chelae. The larger granules, which occur in clusters 

 on the dorsal eminences, around the bases of the marginal spines, 

 and on the front, bear long hairs, while a thick close coating of short 

 hairs covers the intervening spaces. When cleaned, the general 

 color of fresh specimens is yellowish or salmon; the fingers are black. 



When living the carapace and legs are often rather thickly 

 covered, and sometimes almost concealed, by a coating of Avhitish 

 calcareous mud and sand that adheres to the hairs that cover the 

 back. This is evidently a good protection against its enemies. 

 Some of our specimens, taken in April and May, carried eggs (Nos. 

 3123, 4010, 4011).

It is most frequently found under stones and dead corals. One 

 specimen was taken from the base of a gorgonian ( Verrucella 

 grandis), brought up from over 100 feet of water, outside the reefs 

 (No. 40 1 2). Common, both on the reefs and rocky shores, at low-tide.
