2 . Colour yellowish brown ; legs paler yellow, hand reddish 

 brown with black fingers. Carapace granular laterally, entirely 

 smooth above except for a few granules in the anteocular groove. 

 Terr/a finely granular laterally. Tail a little more than two and a 

 half times as long as the carapace, the inferior keels on segments 

 1-3 quite smooth, those on 4th at most slightly rugose ; superior 

 and superior-lateral keels of all the segments granular or weakly 

 denticulated ; superior surface of 1st granular, of 2nd less so ; 

 width of 1st exceeding length of 3rd, almost equal to that of 4th ; 

 5th about twice as long as wide. Chelce : humerus granular above 

 at least on its basal half, smooth below; brachium almost entirely 

 smooth, its anterior side weakly granular above, more coarsely 

 below ; hand wide, its width in adult exceeding length of 3rd and 

 4th caudal segments, inner edge smooth, upper surface smooth, 

 finely reticulated, a few low tubercles just above the keel of the 

 underhand and at the base of the immovable digit ; external 

 portion of upper surface rising vertically above keel of underhand ; 

 thickness of hand at the front equal to length of 4th caudal 

 segment. Lower side of hand granular distally, scarcely crested. 



Pectinal teeth 12-15. 



Measurements in millimetres (of type). Total length 112, 

 carapace 19, tail 51 ; width of hand 16*8, underhand 10*5. 



Loc. Aimola in the Boran Country (Donaldson Smith) ; also Ndi, 

 on the Weiss Eoad inland from Mombasa (C.Steuart Betton). In 

 British Museum. 



Nearly allied to the East-African species P. cavimanus, but 

 differing in the following characters : — the carapace in the female is 

 longer than the 4th and 5th caudal segments, and the basal width 

 of the immovable finger is only about half the length of its free 

 margin ; whereas in P. cavimanus ( J ) the carapace is shorter than 

 4th and 5th caudal segments, and the basal width of the immovable 

 digit is about two-thirds the length of its free margin.
