50 THE BRACHYURA. 
Funafuti, Ellice Group; reef; Dec. 24, 1899; 1 juv. 
This species is closely related to C. melanochira A. Milne Edwards’ and to 
C. wood-masoni Alcock.? It is smaller, less hairy, and more delicately 
marked than C. melanochira ; the second antero-lateral tooth (the first after 
the orbital angle) is not separated from the adjoining area; the fourth and 
fifth teeth are simple, and the hind part of the carapace is not grooved as in 
that species. C. wood-masoni has fewer denticles on the frontal lobes (7 in- 
stead of 15 to 20); a spiniform second tooth ; a spine on each of the four 
submarginal areas ; fewer tubercles or granules on the chelipeds.

All the specimens eee three antero-lateral spines, besides the orbital 
spine; just back of the latter is a small subhepatic spine. 
Chlorodopsis scabricula (Dana).

Papeete, Tahiti; reef; Sept. 28, 1899; 2 ? immature, 1 young. 
These specimens are the same species as the young ¢ from Honolulu, 
which I referred to C. scabricula (doc. cit.), and I think that they are probably 
Dana’s scabricula. 
The four spines of the side margin are similar to each other (E and § 
Dana), being smaller than the others. The four lobules adjacent to these 
spines are high and their summits are denticulated.
