412 Mr. J. R. Henderson on the new Galatheidea 



throughout. The second abdominal segment with from four 

 to eight spines. 



Length of body (of an adult c? ) 31 miUim., the chelipedes 

 wanting in this the largest specimen. 



Loc. Station 163 [off the New South Wales coast], 120 

 fathoms. 



Munida gracilis ^ n. sp. 



A small species resembling the northern M. tenuimana, G. 

 O. Sars. The spiny armature of the carapace is similar to 

 that of the latter, with the exception that there are no spines 

 on the posterior border. The rostrum is very long and slender, 

 raore than twice the length of the supraocular spines, and 

 these latter exceed the ocular peduncles. The chelipedes are 

 of greater length and tenuity than in M. tenuimana, the pro- 

 podi and digiti being unusually long. The second and third 

 abdominal segments are alone furnished with spines, and these 

 are more numerous on the second. 



Length of body (of a ? ) 24 millim. ; length of chelipedes 

 36 millim. 



Loc. Station 166 [off New Zealand], 275 fathoms. 



Munida curvirostris^ u. sp. 



Rostrum more than twice the length of the supraocular 

 spines, considerably upturned; the supraocular spines as long- 

 as the ocular peduncles, also upturned, but less so than the 

 rostrum. Eyes very large, with the cornese dilated. Cara- 

 pace short and broad, the strise not numerous ; gastric region 

 with a row of spines in front, the spines on the lateral borders 

 very prominent. Chelipedes robust, with several large spines. 

 Tarsi of ambulatory limbs long. The second abdominal seg- 

 ment with a row of spines. 



Length of body (of a ? ) 27 millim. ; length of chelipedes 

 21 millim. 



Loc. Station 210 [off the Philippines], 375 fathoms* 



Munida sjpinij'rons, n. sp. 



Eostrum slender, about three times the length of the ocular 

 peduncles, the anterior half slightly upturned, and furnished 

 with a series of well-marked spines on either side ; the supra- 

 ocular spines r.ot equalling the ocular peduncles. Carapace 

 sparingly clothed with iridescent hairs, gastric area with a 

 few spines in front, a single small spine on each branchial 

 area. Chelipedes and ambulatory limbs long and slender. 

 The second abdominal segment with two small spines.
