104 "TERRA NOVA" EXPEDITION. 



41. Echimomaia hispida, n. sp. Fig. 13. 



Diagnosis. — Large spines of carapace, nine in number, arranged as follows : two 

 postocular, two at the sides of the gastric region, each joined by a ridge to the 

 postocular of the same side, two on the branchial regions, one median on the hinder 

 part of the gastric region, two on the cardiac region. A somewhat smaller spine on 

 the first abdominal segment, and three smaller still on the second. On each hepatic 

 region, postocular succeeded by a smaller tooth. On each branchial region a row of 

 about fifteen small regular teeth. Cheliped of male reaching middle of propodite of first 

 walking leg ; its fingers shorter than palm, very slightly gaping, irregularly toothed ; palm 

 with six rows of spines — two above, two below, one on inner and one on outer surface. 

 Wrist about half length of palm, bearing a number of spines ; arm with three rows of 

 spines on inner side and a spine above near end. Meropodite of first walking leg 

 similarly provided, but with smaller spines ; those on carpopodite and propodite 

 similarly placed, but still smaller ; dactylopodite about half length of propodite, smooth. 

 Third walking leg smooth, except for a spine above at end of meropodite. Second and 

 fourth walking leg wanting in both specimens. 



Length of longer specimen, 1 6 mm. 



Two specimens. Station 90. 



42. Eurypodius latreillei, Guerin, 1828. 



Eurypodius latreillei, Guerin, Mem. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, XVI, p. 384, pi. XIV ; Miers, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 64. 



In the three specimens (one male and two female) the rostrum is straight, its 

 spines diverging a little at the tip, the spines on the branchial region rather small, the 

 propodites of the walking legs longer than the carpopodites and moderately dilated. 

 The male belongs to Miers' form A.

 Paramithrax latreillei, Thomson, Trans. N. Zealand Inst. XLV, p. 236 (1912). 



Two male specimens from Elmsley Bay, New Zealand. 



44. Paramithrax {Leptomithrax) ajfiais, n. sp. Fig. 14. 



A female specimen dredged in 100 fathoms north of New Zealand, resembles 

 P. (L.) lo7igimanus, Filhol, 1885, but differs from it in the following respects : — 



(i) The cheliped is barely as long as the first walking leg, its wrist is smooth, 

 and its arm less tuberculate than in Filhol's species. These may be merely 

 sexual differences.
