290 CHILTON 
Numerous specimens of this species were taken in set nets at 
the Chatham Islands, whence specimens have previously been 
sent to me by Miss Shand; these agree well with the descriptions 
given by Miers and by Filhol. Miers at first referred the species 
to P. barbicorms (Latreille) an Australan species, but at the 
same time suggested the name P. latreillei should the species 
prove to be distinct from the Australian one. Filhol stated that 
it was quite different from P. barbicornis (Latreille) and gave 
a fresh description of it under the name P. cristatus. He also 
gave a description of the true P. barbicornis (Latreille), which 
he considered to be so different as to form a distinct genus, and 
he therefore suggested for it the name Lobophrys barbicorns, 
under which Milne-Edwards had inscribed it in the Catalogue 
of the Paris Museum. 
Filhol gives the length of the carapace as 41mm. and the 
breadth 30mm. Some of the specimens obtained by the ‘‘ Nora 
Niven”’ are considerably larger than this, one large male having 
the length of carapace 60mm. and breadth 42mm. The chelipeds 
become disproportionately large in these large males, this 
specimen having the propod 42mm. long and 18mm. broad.

One female specimen from Station 17, one female from 
Station 26, and another from Station 44. The chelipeds in the 
female show the same crests on the carpus and are generally 
similar to those of the male, but are of much smaller size. All 
the specimens have the carapace thickly covered with sponges, 
compound ascidians, Serpule, ete. 
I have a specimen in my collection from New Brighton, given 
to me by Mr. H. Suter. Filhol’s specimens were from the oyster 
beds near Stewart Island.
