 Rotuma ; one male. 



48. Carpiliodes pallidus, n. sp. (Plate XL. fig. 3.) 

 Diagnosis : " A Carpiliodes the length of whose carapace is to 



the greatest breadth as 7 : 11, with the carapace covered with 

 vesiculous granules, lobulated as in 0. monticulosus, but with the 

 furrows not so deep ; the front slightly sinuous, with a sharp, but 

 not very deep, notch in the middle, extending at its outer ends in 

 front of the orbital rims, from which it is separated by transverse 

 grooves ; the chelipeds equal, alike, above and outside granular 

 like the rest of the body and limbs, below smooth ; on the outside 

 of the hands five more or less distinct grooves, of which the two 

 lower run on to the immoveable finger and the upper one on to 

 the moveable finger, while the middle two are less distinct than 

 the others ; the cutting-edges of the fingers with several blunt 

 conical teeth, which are set closer together on the immoveable than 

 on the moveable finger. The walking-legs granular, with a few 

 scattered hairs; the propodites very short and broad ; the dactv- 

 lopodites about equal to the propodites in length, armed at the 

 end with a rather short, almost straight claw." 



The third maxilliped is shown in fig. 3 a, and the abdomen of 

 the male in fig. 36. 



Colours in spirit : carapace white ; walking-legs pink, with the 

 dactyle and half the propodite white ; chelipeds pink, with the 

 fingers white or pale brown with pink bases. 



Length 3'5 mm. 



The most characteristic feature of the species is its coloration ; 

 in most respects it shows a considerable resemblance to C. monti- 

 culosus. 



Eotuma ; three males, one female. 



Genus Euxanthtis Dana, 1851.
