with small, equal, rounded granules. As in Actcea setigera, each 

 protogastric region is divided by a longitudinal groove into two 

 subequal lobes. All the lobes of the two anterior thirds of the 

 upper surface are covered with rather coarse, somewhat conical 

 granules, wliich are even a little larger on the antero -lateral 

 regions than on the gastric lobes. The whole upper surface of 

 the carapace is covered, moreover, by rather long yellowish hairs. 

 The granulated anterior margin of the strongly deflexed, four- 

 lobed front is divided by a deep, narrow^, median incision into 

 two halves, each of which is broadly emarginate, so that the 

 frontal margin presents two median, obliquely truncate, large 

 lobes, and two lateral, small, dentiform ones, which are prolonged 

 towards tbe basal joint of the external antennae, with which 

 they unite. 



As in A. setigera, the antero-lateral margins are very indis- 

 tinctly divided into four lobes (besides the external angle of the 

 orbit) : tlie three anterior lobes are very broad, the last is very 

 small, and all are provided with coarse conical granules equal to 

 those of the adjacent antero-lateral regions. As in A. Mrsutis- 

 sima and A. areolata, the convex hairy, scarcely granular, subhe- 

 patic regions present some narrow grooves, which are prolonga- 

 tions of the fissures that divide the antero-lateral borders. In 

 the male the outer surface of the sternum and of the postabdomen 

 appears rather coarsely punctate, and also somewhat hairy, and 

 the penultimate joint of the latter is a little longer than broad, 

 and a little longer than the terminal segment. 



The arms of the equal chelipedes are almost entirely covered 

 by the cephalothorax, and their rounded under surface is some- 

 what granular. The outer and upper surface of the wrist is 

 covered with numerous conical granules, which resemble those 

 of the antero-lateral regions on the upper surface of the carapace. 

 Also the upper and outer surfaces of the hands present similar 

 conical granules, which are often arranged in longitudinal rows ; 

 but their scarcely convex inner surface appears almost smooth, 

 presenting only some few depressed small granules in the 

 middle. The fingers of one of the specimens, which are pre- 

 served in alcohol, are of a black colour, those of the two other 

 individuals are brown ; in the specimen described by Krauss 

 they presented a somewhat yellowish colour. In this species the 

 colour of the fingers does not extend on the surface of the palm ; 

 in A. setigera it extends on the palm, according to the description
