Paguristes parvus Holmes 
Plate 17, figure 1 
Paguristes parvus Holmes, Oceas. Papers Calif. Acad. Sci., 7, 151, pl. 2, 
fig. 26, 1900. 
Fig. 83. Paguristes parvus, dorsal view of anterior portion (from Holmes). 
Characters.—Rostriform tooth of front long and prominent, reaching to tips 
of eye scales or beyond, very much larger and more acute than lateral teeth. 
Upper surface of hands coarsely granulate, armed only with three short, stout 
spines on inner margin behind the dactyl. Length of eye-stalks measured from 
orbital margin about two-thirds the width of the anterior portion of the carapace; 
distal half of eye-stalks about same width as cornea, proximal half abruptly 
enlarged, about half again as wide. 
Dimensions.—Type: length 12.7 mm. 
Type Locality—wWhite’s Point, near San Pedro, California. 
Remarks.—In the collection of the U. 8S. National Museum there is a Paguristes 
which is undoubtedly a cotype of Holmes’s parvus. The label reads, ‘‘San Pedro, 
California; littoral among rocks; July 23, 1895; S. J. Holmes.’’ Except that the 
eye scales are cut into two instead of three points it fits the description given 
by Holmes very closely. The specimen is a female about 12.7 mm. in length, the 
length given by Holmes for the type.

Paguristes bakeri Holmes, Oceas. Papers Calif. Acad. Sci., 7, 152, 1900; 
Hilton, Jour. Ent. Zool., Pomona Coll., 8, 63, figs. 11, 12, 1916. 
Characters—Hands very broad, only about one-fifth longer than wide, outer 
margin strongly convex; immovable finger about twice as wide at base as movable 
finger; upper surface of hands strongly spined with numerous dark tipped spines. 
Eye-stalks about three-fourths, more rarely seven-eighths, as long as width of 
anterior portion of carapace. Antennal flagella sparsely haired. Teeth of front 
subequal, rostriform tooth reaching about to bases of eye scales. 
Dimensions.—Types, female: length 63.5 mm.; males: length 114.3 and 127 
mm. In the Biological Survey material the length of carapace ranged between 
9 and 35 mm., mostly about 25 mm. long.

(Holmes). 
Type Locality—San Diego, California.
