ii. Carapace hardly pubescent : last 

 two pairs of legs very slightly hairy : 

 1st and 2nd legs perfectly devoid of 



hair D. granulata. 



II. The roof of the endostomial canal projects 

 considerably between the bases of the frontal 

 teeth in a dorsal view : the greatest length of 

 the carapace is hardly less than the greatest 

 breadth : carapace smooth, it and all the ap- 

 pendages perfectly devoid of pubescence : 

 spine at inner canthus of orbit rudimentary : 

 last pair of legs much more than half the 

 length of the second (longest) pa,ir D. polita.

Body and appendages (except the hands and fingers, and the pro- 

 podites and dactyli of the 1st and 2nd true legs) rather thickly covered 

 with hair. 



Extreme length of carapace greater than extreme breadth. Sur- 

 face of carapace wrinkled and uneven, with about a dozen nodules 

 which are often granular; the regions well defined by grooves and 

 puckers. 



The spine at the outer angle of the orbit is long and acute, and 

 usually projects well beyond the level of the frontal teeth : the spine 

 at the inner canthus is huge, curved, serrated along the lower border,
