Krauss refers this species to Savigny’s pl. 2, fig. 1, by mistake for 
fig. 2, and in this error is followed by Milne Edwards in 1852 
(though correct in 1837) and by Miers in 1896. Krauss, in his Latin 
description, confuses the dimension of the front with that of the eyes, 
but his German account rightly states that the eyes are somewhat 
longer than a third of the breadth of the carapace. 
Two specimens, a male and a female, have been collected in Durban 
Bay by Mr. D. R. Boyce. ‘The male pleopods agree with Savigny’s 
figure 2p. The carapace is 9°5 mm. broad, 7-5 mm. long, with frontal 
lobe somewhat over 2 mm. wide. The lower margin of the orbit is 
nearly straight, crenulate with some dozen bead-like granules. The 
right hand chela is the larger, with a broad tooth near the base of 
the inner margin of the movable finger, while the fixed finger is 
continuously crenulate on that margin, the components being enlarged 
towards the spooned tip. ‘The sixth pleon segment widens slightly to 
a raised point on either side, the sides then slightly converging. The 
pleon of the female is very broad. The mandibles have a well 
developed three-jointed palp. The palp of the first maxilla is much 
widened near its apex. There is a wide gap between the third 
maxillipeds, i
