PILUMNIDAE. 57 
bent down, touching the basal joint of antenna. Eyes large; orbital 
notches obscure above, absent below outer angle. 
Palatal ridge present, but not strong. 
Chelipeds unequal, rough with sharp granules; lower surface of larger 
hand almost smooth; fingers spoon-shaped, rough at base, gaping, light- 
colored. In the smaller specimen (Papeete) the outer face of the hand is 
largely smooth. Legs almost smooth, sparsely hairy, meropodites slightly 
spinulous above, dactyli with long slender point. 
Dimensions :—Fakarava, length 3.5, width 4.5 mm.; width of front 16 mm. 
I think that this is Dana’s species, as the carapace appears smooth and 
entire, but the hairs do not form the pattern shown in his figure.
