The variety Smithii differs from the typical Eriphia Idevimana only 

 in the sculpture of the chelipeds. 



The upper and outer surfaces of the wrists and hands of the smaller 

 cheliped are closely covered with miliary granules and are profusely 

 studded with salient and subsquamous tubercles, which, on the lower 

 half of the hand are arranged in longitudinal series. 



The wrist and hand of the larger cheliped may be nearly smooth 

 or may have a few scattered pustulous tubercles (as they are in most 

 Indian specimens), or they may more nearly resemble the smaller 

 cheliped in sculpture. 



In the Indian Museum are 15 specimens from Karachi, and one 

 from the Mekran coast.
