1898.] A. Alcock— Carcinological Fauna of India. 101 



Legs with a few scattered bristles on most of the joints, and with 

 the claws covered with short fur : the upper edge of the merus carpus 

 and propus is strongly crested, as are the lower edges of the merus. 



Colours in spirit, yellowish or greenish brown, fingers blackish 

 brown. 



One specimen from the Madras coast is in the Indian Museum 

 collection. (There are other specimens from Mauritius).

Closely resembles L. cristata Heller, from which it is, perhaps, not 

 specifically distinct. It differs chiefly in having the pearly granules not 

 only less sharply sculptured aud less closely studded, but quite absent 

 from a part of the post-cardiac region, from the supra-orbital border, 

 and from the outer surface of the walking legs. Its appearance, in 

 short, is that of L. cristata with the sculpturing worn. 



7 specimens from the Andamans, Mergui, and Ceylon.

Closely resembles the two preceding species, from which it differs 

 most conspicuously in having no crest to the upper border of the hand : 

 the granulation of the carapace is not nearly so sharp-cut and pearl-like. 

 In the Indian Museum are specimens from Australia and Samoa, but 

 none from India. It is included in the Indian Fauna on the authority 

 of Dr. J. R. Henderson.
