P. sexspinosus, Miers, ' Alert' Crust, p. 261, pi. xxvii. fig. B (1884). 



Tuticorin, a male specimen ( Thurston). 



Three spines are present on each antero-lateral margin of the carapace, the first 

 (preocular) and second ohtuse, the third at the antero-lateral angle subacute and directed 

 forwards. The terminal joint of the antennal peduncle is greatly flattened and its margin 

 ciliated. The carapace is finely pubescent. Length of carapace 8 mm., breadth 7 mm. 



Distribution. Torres Strait {Miers).

Tuticorin, an adult female (Thurston). 



In this species the carapace is very convex both from side to side and from before 

 backwards. The antero-lateral margin terminates simply at its posterior end and is not 

 continued into a transverse ridge ; four closed and indistinct marginal fissures can be 

 made out, three of them situated rather close together on the posterior half of the margin. 

 The hand is not carinated superiorly and the finger-tips are excavated ; the ambulatory 

 legs are strongly carinated. It is regarded by Kossmann as a variety of A. roseus 

 K Riippell), but in the latter species, as described by A. Milne-Edwards, and in specimens
