and are hardly facetted, owing to the grannies of which they are formed 

 being more intimately confluent; and on the posterior part of the cara- 

 pace the tubercles themselves are confluent, small, and little convex : 

 the tubercles of the legs are never spiny : 



(3) the regions and lobules of the carapace are much more dis- 

 tinctly delimited, and the 4-lobulation of the autero-lateral borders is 

 more distinct. 



Colours in spirit much as in A. granulata. 



Iu the Indian Museum are 8 specimens from the Persian Gulf, 

 Karachi, and Mergui.

Strongly resembles Actsea in all points but has the following 

 difference : — 



(1) in the fore edge of the buccal cavern is, on either side, a deep 

 gap, not a mere suture or fissure such as is seen in some species of Actsea : 



(2) the fingers are compressed and extremely trenchant, resem- 

 bling shears.

Outwardly, from the dorsal view, might almost be mistaken for 

 Actsea ruppellii. 



All exposed parts of the carapace and appendages, except the fingers 

 and lower outer surface of the hand are concealed by a dark shaggy 

 covering consisting of a dense under-fur with numerous tufts of long 

 hair. 



The carapace is a little more than f as long as broad, and when 

 denuded, is seen to be divided into very numerous small lobules by 

 broad smooth grooves. The lobules are convex and closely covered 

 with pearly granules. 



The front is formed of two small pointed lobes which do not break 

 beyond the common curve of the anterolateral borders : the supra- 

 orbital border is fissured twice, and is separated from the lower border 

 of the orbit by a fissure : the anterolateral borders, when denuded, are 

 seen to be divided into four granular lobes of unequal size, and a
