Vidi marem majorem (Forma II.) pedibus abdominalibus basi non 

 articulatis. 



Femina differt chelis minoribus ; ventre inter pedes quartos apice 

 exciso, tuberculis conicis duobus apice approxinatis ; annulo transver- 

 sali angusto, longitudinaliter hsso. 



Maximus. Long corp. 2.6 - 3 ; antenn. 2.5 ; ped. antic. 2-2.5. 



Patria : Spring Hill, Alabama; ten miles west of Mobile. — Vidi 

 specimbia multa. 



Sometimes in the larger examples the thorax is more punctulated, 

 and more granulated on the sides. 



This species is very similar to C. Leconici, but it differs in having a 

 smaller and more parallel rostrum, a shorter mesothorax, twice as broad 

 an areola, two spines on each side, somewhat shorter but broader 

 hands, its inner margin slightly curved, sulcated beneath, the fingers 

 a little curved, and the sexual parts. 



C. versutus, spkulifer, Lecontei, and angustaius (if it be not identical 

 with C. spkulifer) form a single group. The mesothorax is short ; 

 the abdomen a little longer than the thorax ; the areola is broader ; the 

 lamina is longer than the pedunculus, and the rostrum long and slen- 

 der ; the spines of the antennal joints are well developed. Besides 

 the differences taken from the sexual organs, C. Lecontei and </u- 

 ffiistatiis have one lateral thoracic spine, while C. spiculifer and versutus 

 have two lateral thoracic spines. C. Lecontei is separated by long 

 and nearly cylindrical hands ; C. sj)icu/ifh; by strongly tubercnlated 

 hands.

10. Cambarus maniculatus LeConte. 



Astaeus maniculatus LeConte, Proc. Acad. Fhilad., T. 7, p. 401. 



I have not seen this species, which is described by Mr. LeConte as 

 follows : — 



Rostrum subplanum, vix concavum, obtusum cum acumine, versus 

 apicem utrinque unidenticulatum. Lamina antennalis pednncnlnm 

 sequans. Cephalothorax supra punctatus, lateribus sparsim granulosis. 

 Areola suturalis angustissima, stria solum. Dorsum sicnt in prioribns. 

 Chela parva, angusta, tubercnlato-punctata, margine interiore dentata, 

 digiti recti, carinati, punctata. Carpus intns paucidentatus, dentibus 

 tribus superioribus majoribns spiculseformibus. Brachium pnnctatnm, 

 latere superiore vix serfato, duabus tamen spinis brevibus anterioribus,
