the wrist, and strongly-arched fingers which meet only at the tip, the 

 movable finger bearing (in addition to the serrations of the hollow tip) 

 a strong tooth near the base. 



In the adult female the chelipeds are very little longer than the 

 carapace and have only a small tooth on the wrist, and fingers which 

 are not strongly arched but meet through the greater part of their 

 extent. 



Colours in spirit, light straw, fingers very light brownish : some- 

 times the wings of the carapace are light grey and then there is also a 

 light grey stripe down the middle of the carapace, fore and aft. 



Length of carapace 6'5 millim., breadth 10 millim. 



Off Andaman Is. 10-41 fms., off Ceylon 26| fms. 



Seven specimens, 



7. Carpilodes lophopus, n. sp. 



All parts are smooth to the naked eye, though under the lens the 

 surface of the carapace and chelipeds is minutely pitted or eroded. The 

 regions are demarcated and subdivided by very fine lines ; and the 

 lateral gastric areolae (2 M of Dana) and the mid-branchial areolae (4 

 and 5 L of Dana) are particularly, and rather angularly, convex. 



The antero-lateral borders are four-lobed, the last two lobes being 

 rather angular ; the postero-lateral borders are markedly concave. 



The front is broad and projects well beyond the orbits. 



Chelipeds not very much longer than the carapace : two little 

 tubercles, one above the other, at the inner angle of the wrist, and 

 two at the distal end of the upper border of the hand. 



The upper border of the meropodites of the legs is distinctly 

 Cristiform, that of the carpopodites is siniious-cristiform, and both the 

 upper and the lower edges of the propodites are cristiform — the lower 

 more distinctly than the upper. 



Colours in spirit, yellowish white. 



Carapace about 5*5 millim. long, abont 8*5 millim. broad. 



Off south-east coast of Ceylon, 34 fms., a male and a female ; a 

 female from off Malabar coast, 29 fms.
