large left chela has the character on which Alcock lays stress, “ the 
inner edge of the upper surface of its dactylus forms an upstanding 
crenulated crest,” and the second and third perseopods are even more 
characteristic by their difference from those on the right, in that the 
upper margins of the last two joints form sharp ridges, by which 
especially in the third pair their sides to the rear show a deep furrow, 
while dorsally they are flattened. ' 
A specimen of this species from the same locality has been obtained 
by Mr. D. R. Boyce.

A female specimen from the Durban Museum answers well to 
Heller’s description and figures of this species, in regard to the eyes, 
the markings of the carapace which he describes in detail, the quadrate 
sixth segment of the pleon with its median longitudinal furrow, and 
the armature of the large left cheliped. The second and _ third 
pereeopods on the left are without the sharp-edged flat-topped character 
of the two terminal joints so conspicuous in P. deformis, but the third 
pereeopod has the lateral carina and groove as shown for those joints

A small specimen of this handsome species was collected by Mr. 
D. R. Boyce from Durban Bay. The Strombus in which it was lodged 
only yielded for examination the chelipeds and ambulatory limbs.
