Beteus longidactylus. 
Beteus longidactylus, Lockington, Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. vol. vii. p. 35. 
Alpheus longidactylus, Kingsley, loc. cit. p. 198. 
Carapax smooth, much compressed, “front rounded ; an- 
tennular spines slender, acute. First and second antennular 
joints subequal, third shorter; inner flagellum three fourths 
the length of carapax; outer ? 
‘¢ Antennal scales shorter than peduncles of either pair of 
antenne. 
“External maxillipeds extending nearly to extremity of 
antennal peduncle.” 
Hands of first pair similar, long and compressed ; pollex 
forming half the length of the manus; dactylus more than half 
that length ; the fingers when closed gape widely, both are 
pointed at the end, and the points cross each other like the 
mandibles of a Loxia. At the base of the dactylus are several 
teeth opposed to two large ones on the manus, which also 
bears a large tooth in the centre of the pollex. 
‘“‘Carpus of second pair five-jointed ; first joint as long as 
the three following ; second, third, and fourth equal; fifth 
slightly longer. 
“ Extremity of telson rounded.” 
Colour of carapax of dried specimen green, with nuances of 
russet and olive. Fingers of the larger hand light red, the 
tips green. Length of carapax 1:12 inch, of larger hand 0°56, 
of smaller 0°36. 
As in the description of the previous species, the portions 
within quotation marks are from Kingsley. The single speci- 
men in the museum of the Academy came from a sandy mud 
flat, San Diego, California, between tide-marks.
