 Carapace glabrous, with small transverse raised lines ; gastric 

 region swollen, armed with two prominent spines, the lateral 

 borders with four or five spines. Eye-stalks movable, pro- 

 longed into a delicate spine both above and below the colourless 

 cornese. Chelipedes shorter than the first pair of ambulatory 

 limbs, the digits broad and excavated. Ambulatory limbs 

 having the meral and carpal joints with a row of spines supe- 

 riorly, the propodi nearly twice the length of the tarsi. The 

 second, third, and fourth abdominal segments with a slight 

 transverse bicarination. 



It is allied to M. {Galathodes) Renoldsi, A. M.-E.

 chelipedes 32 millim.

Munidopsis subsquamosa^ n. sp. 



Rostrum spinulous and nearly straight, slightly compressed 

 laterally. Carapace sparingly pubescent, covered posteriorly 

 with raised imbricated lines (giving a scale-like appearance) ; 

 in front showing a tendency to become tubercular or spinose ; 

 gastric region circumscribed, armed with several spines, 

 the hepatic and anterior branchial regions deeply exca- 

 vated. Lateral borders of carapace with two prominent 

 upturned spines in front, and several smaller behind these. 

 Eye-stalks slightly movable, prolonged into a spine in front 

 of the cornea. Chelipedes robust, the various joints tubercu- 

 late, the merus and carpus slightly spiny. Ambulatory limbs 

 robust, the first pair slightly exceeding the chelipedes, with 

 the meral, carpal, and propodal joints sparingly tuberculate 

 and spiny. Abdominal segments tuberculate, the second, 

 third, and fourth slightly bicarinate transversely.
