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



The propodus of the second pair of feet reaches the extremity of 

 the large cheliped; the third pair reaches about to the middle of the 

 dactylus of the second pair. Both these legs have a small spine at 

 the lower outer distal angle of the merus, and a longer spine at the 

 upper distal angle of the carpus. The dactyli are a little shorter 

 than the propodi. These legs are furnished sparingly with hairs." 



Colors. — In formalin a ])inkish-white or j^ellowish-white ground" 

 color with small roundish spots of bright yellowish-red or orange 

 which are most numerous along the upper and distal margins of the 

 segments of the legs, where they tend to form irregular transverse 

 bands. There are four bands on each of the propodal and terminal 

 joints of the second and third pairs of legs; chela? and eye-stalks 

 spotted with red." (M. J. Rathbun.) 



Total length about 40"™. It becomes much larger.

" This species is nearer Clihanarius than it is to any other 

 described genus, and while it perhaps possesses all the essential 

 characters of that genus, it differs notably from the usual form of 

 Clihanarhis in the inequalit}^ of the chelipeds." 



No locality, except Bermuda, has been recorded for this rather 

 conspicuous species.

Figures 65, 66. 



Carapace constricted at the cervical suture ; front part shield- 

 shaped, longer than broad; anterior edge five-angled ; central tooth 

 small, acute, a little more prominent than those at the base of the 

 antenna?, with the intervening margin a little concave ; lateral angles 

 very obtuse and farther back ; surface glossy, with small scattered 

 punctre over the middle, becoming larger and raised on slight rough 

 elevations laterally, each bearing one or several hairs ; the one next 

 the cervical suture, on each side, is larger in the form of a small low 

 rounded tubercle. Posterior part with marked longitudinal sunken 

 lines and scattered punctje ; the sides hairy. Eye-stalks slender, 

 about as long as the widtli of the front of the carapace, shorter than 

 its length ; eye-scales small, oblicpie-ovate, pointed, close together. 

 Peduncle of antennulne nearly as long as ej^e-stalks. Antennae 

 longer than ambulatory legs ; the aciculum is narrow, tapered, acute 

 at tip, reaching slightly beyond the penultimate joint of the peduncle, 

 fringed on the inner edge and tip with long hairs.
