Halimede thurstoni, Henderson, Trans. Linn. Soc, Zool., (2) V. 1893, p. 360, 

 pi. xxxvi. figs. 13, 14. 



It appears to me doubtful whether this is a true Halimede. 



Alliance VI. Oalenoida. [or Subfamily Galenin^]. 



Galenu, De Haan. 



Oalene, De Haan, Faun. Japon. Crust, p. 19. 



Galene, Miers, Challenger Brachyura, p. 118 (footnote.) 



Car apace approaching the quadrilateral, strongly convex fore and 

 aft, little convex from side to side ; its surface granular in parts, or 

 nearly smooth, and with the regions more or less distinctly shown by 

 broad shallow rather vague depressions. 



Antero-lateral border moderately arched, ind istinctly four-lobed — 

 the last 2 or 3 lobes in the typical species being marked by spine-like 

 teeth : postero-lateral borders very slightly convergent, rather longer 

 than the chord of the antero-lateral : posterior border long. 



Fronto-orbital border less than half the greatest width of the cara- 

 pace. Front obliquely deflexed, less than one-fifth the greatest width 

 of the carapace in extent, bilobed or quadridentate. Orbital margin 

 with the three grooves in the vicinity of the outer angle distinct : eyes 

 on thick stalks of moderate length. The antennules fold nearly trans- 

 versely. 



Basal antennal joint broad, extremely short, not nearly reaching 

 the front; flagellum longish (longer than the major diameter of the 

 orbit) lodged in the broad orbital hiatus. 



Anterior edge of merus of external maxillipeds a little oblique. 

 Chelipeds massive, unequal in both sexes, fingers pointed. Legs long, 

 stoutish. 



Abdomen of male with all 7 joints separate and distinct. 



No crests, delimiting efferent branchial canals, on the endostome. 



62. Galene bispinosa (Herbst) De Haan.

Carapace moderately broad, somewhat pentagonal, its surface for 

 the greater part smooth, but usually scabrous near the borders — espe- 

 cially the postero-lateral borders ; its surface is also somewhat lumpy,
