 individuals have each a shallow, but very distinct, groove on their 

 upper outer surfaces.

20. PiLTJMNDS i/iEVTMANUS Dana. 



Pilumnus Icevimnnus, Dana, U.S. Expl. Exp. Crust, i. p. 237,

Loc. Kelantan. 



A small damaged male. 



The right chehpede only is present : on the proximal half of the 

 anterior border of the merus are three or four minute, but sharp, 

 teeth as in P. nitidus, but none on the posterior border, which, 

 however, terminates in a very blunt low tooth a little before the 

 carpal articulation. The hairy growth on the proximal portion of 

 the hand is continued over the joint on to the external surface of 

 the carpus. 



Dim. 5-5 X 3. 



21. Pilumnus nitidus A. M.-Edw.^ 



Pilvmnus nitidus, A. M.-Edw. Nouv. Arch. Mus. ix. p. 249,

Loc. Kelantan. 



A single female, rather damaged. 



Besides the granular teeth on its anterior margin, the meri of 

 the chelipedes bear on their rather sharp posterior margin 4-5 

 inconspicuous blunt teeth, the most distal of which is sharper and 

 more prominent than the others, and is placed about 1 mm. behind 

 the carpal articulation. 



Dim. 10x7-5.

"* I have since found that this form should be referred to Dana's Pseudosius 

 dispar, with which P. nitidus is synonymous {vide Caiman, Trans. Linn. See. 

 ser. 2, Zool. viii. p. 14, 1900).
