140 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 



Tribe ANOMURA. 



CRYPTODROMIA JAPONICA, Henderson. 

 Cryptodromia japonica, Henderson, Chall. Rep. Zool., xxvii., 



p. 6, pi. i., fig. 2. 



Two specimens one male and one female. 



The examples agree fairly well with the description and figure 

 given by Henderson, the hairs on the carapace are more abundant, 

 and the ill defined tubercle mentioned as occurring at the posterior 

 end of the medium groove leading to between the lateral rostral 

 teeth is absent. The hairs on the body and limbs are plumose in 

 their distal halves only, whilst the hairs on C. lateralis are 

 plumose throughout, but the branchlets are much shorter than 

 those on the hairs of C. japonica. 



REMIPES TESTUDINARIUS, Latr. 

 Remipes testudinarius (Latr.), M. Edw., Hist. Nat. Crust., ii.,

pi. xxx., fig. 5. 



Four half grown examples and one young specimen 25mm. 

 long, which does not differ materially from the adult, except in 

 size and colour ; the carapace and abdominal plates are pale 

 yellow, the ambulatory legs are a warm brown, the carpus and 

 hand are yellowish-white with the spines brown. The colour 

 generally is very similar to that of some of the young of 

 Cenobita rugosa.
