Liagore rubromaculata Miers, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) II. 1878, p. 407 (note) ; 

 and Challenger Brachyura, p. Ill, (footnote). 



Carapace transversely somewhat oval, approximating the quadri- 

 lateral type, with long posterior and only moderately convergent 

 postero-lateral borders ; its surface devoid of sculpture and perfectly 

 smooth to the naked eye, microscopically pitted and granular : pterygo- 

 stomian region somewhat hairy. 



Antero-lateral border moderately sharp, entire. Front broadly and 

 rather faintly bilobed, the outer angles of each lobe pronounced, pro- 

 minent, and separated from the supra-orbital margin by a short shallow 

 groove. A little pimple-like thickening at the outer angle of the orbit. 



Ghelipeds equal, smooth and polished : both borders of the arm 

 hairy, the upper border with a few blunt denticles ; both the inner and 

 the outer angles of the wrist strongly pronounced ; fingers long, pointed, 

 with the opposed edges strongly but bluntly serrate. 



Legs long, subcylindrical, smooth and polished, the dactyli most 

 elegantly plumed. 



Colours in spirit yellowish with numerous large livid red spots. 



In the Indian Museum is a single specimen dredged off the 

 Irrawaddy Delta in 20 fms., (besides 8 from Hongkong).

Carapace externally broad, convex in both directions, regional 

 boundaries absent or quite inconspicuous, surface either quite smooth 

 or somewhat pitted ; its antero-lateral borders strongly arched and with 

 an independent heel-like edge; the postero-lateral strongly convergent, 

 straight. The under surface of the wings of the carapace is a good deal 

 hollowed to receive the wrists and hands in flexion. 



Front narrow (from a fourth to less than a fifth the greatest 

 breadth of the carapace) more or less deflexed, its edge shaped like 

 cupid's bow (i.e., not bilobed).
