TO INDIAN CARCINOLOGT. 361 



Tuticorin, a male (Thurston). 



The colour is at first very vivid, but the lines on the carapace soon fade in spirit. 

 The carapace is 1T5 mm. long and 15 - 5 mm. broad. Milne-Edwards's type-specimen was 

 slightly larger. 



Distribution. New Caledonia, Lifu, Torres Strait, Arafura Sea. 



Genus Lophozozymus, A. Milne-Edwards. 



65. Lophozozymus Dodone (Herbst). 



L. Dodone (Herbst), De Man, Brock's Crust, p. 270, Taf. x. fig. 2 (1888), ubi synon. 



( = Xantho radiatus, Milne-Edwards, Atergatis lateralis, White, Ateryatis elegans, Heller) . 



Tuticorin, a series ; Muttuwartu Par (Thurston); E-ameswaram (J. R. H.). 

 I have examined the types of Atergatis lateralis, White, from Mauritius, and find that 

 they are identical with this species, as more than one writer had already suspected. 

 Distribution. East Africa, Mauritius, Malay Archipelago, New Caledonia. 



66. Lophozozymus cristatus, A. Milne-Edw. 



L. cristatus, A. Milne-Edwards, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. t. ix. p. 203, pi. vi. fig. 4 (1873). 



Muttuwartu Par, three specimens (Thurston). 



These are probably young, the largest measuring only 13*5 mm. in length and 22 mm. 

 in breadth. Immersion in spirit has completely removed all trace of the vivid colour 

 shown in Milne-Edwards' s figure. 



Distribution. New Caledonia (A. Milne-Edwards). 



Genus Chlorodius, Kuppell. 



67. Chlorodius niger (Forskal). 



C. niger (Porsk.), De Man, Mergui Crust, p. 32 (1887). 



Tuticorin, many specimens ; Muttuwartu Par (Thurston) ; Rameswaram, one of the 

 commonest species on the reef (J. B. H.). 



Distribution. Erom the Red Sea and East Africa to Australia and the Pacific. 



Genus Chlorodopsis, A. Milne-Edwards. 



68. Chlorodopsis spinipes (Heller). 



C. spinipes (Heller), A. Milne-Edwards, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. t. ix. p. 230, pi. viii.fig. fi (1873). 



Cevlon (Sail/) ; Muttuwartu Par, a male (Thurston). 



The Muttuwartu specimen measures 8 mm. in length and 10-5 mm. in breadth. It is 

 more hirsute than is represented in Milne-Edwards's figure, the carapace, legs, and 

 chelipedes carrying many reddish brown hairs ; the under surface is without hairs, 

 and the sternal region is finely granulated. The male abdomen is very narrow, and the 

 penultimate segment is slightly wider at its distal than at its proximal end. 



Distribution. Red Sea, Malay Archipelago, New Caledonia.
