PILUMNIDAE. 43 
Actaea remota, sp. nov. 
EE, Bies9 Pl. 7, Figs 7 
Carapace broad, about 2 as long as broad, lobulated all over, lobules low 
and flat, the grooves between them smooth and covered with short hair, 
the lobules themselves covered with small pearly granules, the narrow 
interspaces filled with hair no higher than the granules and similar to 
that between the lobules. Mesogastric region undivided; protogastric 
regions divided lengthwise into two lobules. Cardiac region undivided. 
Branchial regions each with about nine lobules. Orbital region marked 
off by a furrow. Intestinal region more finely granulate. 
Front strongly deflexed, moderately arched, median emargination not 
discernible, owing to a break in the carapace. Orbit with one fissure 
below, two above. Lateral lobes four, shallow, the first united with the 
orbital angle, the grooves continued on the under surface, which is finely 
granulate and almost naked. 
The left cheliped is missing. In the right one, the outer surface of the 
wrist and the proximal end of the upper surface of the hand are indistinctly 
lobulate. The granulation of wrist and hand is less dense, the hairs more 
numerous. Dactylus granulous and hairy at base. Both fingers white, 
hollowed at tip. Legs granulate and pilose, but not lobulate ; carpal joints 
with a longitudinal groove. 
Dimensions : — Type, length 6 mm., width 8.7 mm. 
Type locality : —Easter Island; shore; Dec. 20, 1904; 1,8 (Cat. No. 
32,849, U.S. N. M.). 
This species appears to be nearest A. lata Borradaile,’ which, however, has 
long hairs mixed with the short ones, and the fingers pointed and black in 
color.
