254 DE. J. G. DE MAN OH" THE PODOPJITHALMOtrS 



armed, this species completely agrees with G. cequahilis, var. mer- 

 guiensis. 



Although preserved in spirit, this Glibanarius still presents 

 the following characteristic coloration. The anterior part of 

 the cephalothorax lying before the cervical suture is of a uni- 

 form greyish ground-colour, presenting, however, faint traces 

 of the red colour of the legs ; in the living animal the greyish 

 colour will therefore certainly appear to be mixed with some 

 red. The eye-peduncles and the ophthalmic scales are of an 

 orange-red colour ; the cornese are black and separated from the 

 red colour of the peduncles by a small white ring. The peduncles 

 of th.e antennae and antennales are of the same red, whereas 

 the flagella of the outer antennae are almost uncoloured. 

 The legs are all of an intense orange-red colour, and present 

 even no trace of the white spots which are characteristic of 

 G. carnifex, Heller, from the Eed Sea, and G. cruentatus, M.-Edw., 

 from New Zealand ; and whereas the propodites and dactylopo- 

 dites of the second and third legs of G. cequahilis, var. merguiensis, 

 are marked, to a certain extent, with a characteristic yellowish 

 white, no trace of this colour is observed on these joints in this 

 species, in which, they present the same orange-red colour as the 

 otber joints. The excavated horny tips of the fingers and the 

 acute tips of the dactylopodites are black.
