In the legs, all the edges of the meropodites are more or less spinate 

 and the carpopodites and propodites are dorsally more or less spinulate. 



Colours in spirit : yellowish, or mottled green ; legs yellowish with 

 purplish-brown cross-bands, or light green with dark green cross-bands ; 

 fingers black, the colouration not extending along the hand. 



In the Indian Museum are 7 specimens from the Andamans and 1 

 from Mergui. 



91. ? Chlorodopsis nigrocrinita, (Stimpson). 



? Pilodius nigrocrinitus, Stimpson, Proo. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 1858, p. 34. 



Differs from 0. pilnmnoides in having the antero-lateral margin 

 cut into 4 blunt lobes which when denuded and examined under a lens 

 are spinulifet ous : only the distal end of the upper edge of the arm is 

 spinulate. 



Four specimens from the Andamans are in the Indian Museum. 



It is at once distinguished from G. melanochira, to which it also 

 bears a strong resemblance, by the altogether different form of the 

 chelipeds and fingers. The chelipeds, like those of C. pilumnoides, are 

 slender and of equal size, and the black colouration of the fingers does 

 not extend on to the hand.

Carapace, chelipeds and legs covered with short black bristles and 

 long yellow hairs, the yellow hairs being sparse on the carapace but 

 exceedingly long and numerous on the legs, and the bristles being 

 embedded each in a curious little white ball of felt. 



On the denuded carapace the regions are all well defined and well 

 areolated by well-cut smooth grooves, the convexities of the areola? 

 being granular : the posterior third or fourth of the carapace forms a 

 flat granular surface. 



Front cut into two elegantly denticulated lobes, the outer angle of 

 each of which forms an independent lobule. The three fissures of the 

 finely denticulate orbital margin are distinct. 



The antero-lateral margin is divided into four lobes, each of which 

 is crowned with several spinules : two or three* of the lobules of the 

 carapace just inside either antero-lateral margin are capped with 

 similar spinules.
