Description. Thorax for the most part concealed in the shell ; its first segment rounded, 
narrowed and truncate behind; second segment emarginate behind for the reception of the 
abdomen. External antenne longer than the left hand, filiform, with an accessory filament 
on the basal joint; internal antenne setigerous at the tips. The ocular pedicels equal the 
first segment of the thorax in length; at the base of the pedicel, on the upper surface, is a 
small scale, concave above, dilated behind, and pointed in front with a few sete. Second 
and third pairs of feet subequal; the two last joints, and more especially the penultimate 
joint, punctured, with a series of sete above: the last joint with a lateral impressed line. 
Hand linear, granulate, with a slightly serrated edge beneath, extending nearly to the tips of 
the fingers, which are smooth and polished ; internally the hand is somewhat ventricose. 
Carpus equal in length to the hand, long, linear, with a raised moniliform edge on its upper 
surface, with elevated dots and rigid sete. 
Color. Body dark reddish brown ; fingers grey or whitish. 
Length of the whole animal, 1°5. 
This description is taken from an unusually large specimen; they are, in general, much 
smaller. It is the most common species on our coast, and may be seen running about our 
shores with their attached shells. It is known as the Little Hermit Crab.
