one from Honolulu but are very much darker in color. <A 
crescent-shaped, black patch on either side of the median ridge 
of the telson is distinct in these specimens. 
The largest specimen in the Bishop Museum collection, a 
male from Honolulu, measures 247 mm. from the tip of the 
rostral spine to the posterior border of the telson. The largest 
of the four specimens from Tahiti, a female, is 218 mm. in 
length. 
The Bishop Museum collection includes specimens from Tahiti 
and Honolulu. 
The species is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific 
region from Japan to South Africa. It is apparently confined 
to shallow water where it burrows in the sand. 
CORONIDA Brooks ' 
Coronida sinuosa new species. Figure 2. 
A minute form, evidently a new species, taken from Waikiki 
reef, Honolulu, has been referred to this genus. The specific 
characteristics are as follows: 
Eyes narrow, elongated and flattened; rostrum short, smooth, and 
evenly rounded; antennular somite elongated”; dactylus of raptorial limb 
with three or four curved teeth on the inner margin and three blunt teeth 
on the outer surface near the proximal extremity; carapace smooth with 
corners rounded; posterior border of carapace concave; fifth thoracic seg- 
ment with lateral process acute and curved anteriorly; lateral margins of 
sixth, seventh, and eighth thoracic segments narrowed but evenly rounded; 
exposed thoracic segments and the first five abdominal segments without 
carinae; lateral margins of first five abdominal segments rounded anteriorly 
and posteriorly; postero-lateral margins of the fifth and sixth abdominal 
segments produced into short, sharp spines; dorsal surface of sixth abdom- 
inal segment ornamented by a series of sinuose, scroll-like carinae, nearly 
symmetrical in arrangement; dorsal surface of telson marked by numerous 
linear, curved, and scroll-like carinae which lack symmetry on the two sides 
except in the medial region where it is maintained in a slight degree; 
posterior border of telson notched; telson with six short marginal spines, 
the submedian pair having movable tips; eight or ten denticles between the 
submedian spines and four or five between each submedian and intermediate 
spine.
