 Eupagurus pubescens Kku'tee, in Gaimard, Voyages en Scandinavie, PL II. fig. 1, 



1849 [rum Kroyer, Naturh. Tidssk., II. p. 251, 1839). 



Nearly all the specimens I have seen from deep water off the Southern coast 

 of New England are small, and the great majority of them were inhabiting 

 carcincecia overgrown by or composed of Epizoantlius Americanns Verrill. 



Eupagurus politus, sp. nov. 



Plate II. Fig. 5. 



The carapax is not suddenly narrowed at the bases of the antenna?, where 

 the breadth is equal to the length in front of the cervical suture, and not ros- 

 trated, the median lobe of the front being broadly rounded and not projecting 

 as far forward as the external angles of the orbital sinuses, which are acute and 

 each usually armed with a short spine. 



The eye-stalks, including the eyes, are nearly four fifths as long as the 



breadth of the carapax in front, stout, and expanded at the wry large black 



which are terminal, not oblique, compressed vertically, and broader than 



half the length of the stalks. The ophthalmic Bcales are small, narrow, and 



spiniform at the tips. 



The peduncle of the antenna i~ about as long as the breadth of the carapax 

 in front, and the ultimate segment about a third longer than the penultimate. 

 ppeT flagellum is much longer than the ultimate Begment "f the pe- 

 duncle, while the lower is only about half as long as the upper, slender, and 

 composed of ten to twelve segments. The peduncle of tlie antenna reaches 



tly beyond the eye. The acicle ifl Blender, slightly curved, and p 

 to ih'' tip of the peduncle, and inside it > base there is a minute t . >■ .t li . while 

 outside there i~ a straight -pine toothed or Bpined along it> inner edge, acute at 

 the tip ami half as long as the acicle itself. The flagellum is nearly naked, 



and about three tine IS the carapax.
