epibranehial teeth, nor interrupted by the projection beyond it of the 

 epigastric lobes. The orbital rims and extraorbital teeth, crenulated. 

 Front sinuous, short, not greatly deflexed, truncate on each side, 

 irregularly punctate, minute hairs springing in bundles of 2 or 3 

 from the puncta. The structure of the epistoma is very much the 

 same as in T t JEdwardsii, but its surface is advanced so as to be 

 more nearly in the same plane with the free margin of the front 

 and the triangular process of its posterior border is more acute ; 

 mesially it is devoid of hairs, but laterally it is extremely hirsute. 

 The anterior pleural lobe is distinct but the interpleural portion 

 of the line that marks it off from the rest of the carapace is 

 not tuberculated as in T. Edivardsii ; neither is the inflected por- 

 tion of the carapace so distinctly rugose nor so thickly covered with 

 hairs. Of the chelipedes the right exceeds the left in size in the 

 only adult specimen in my possession ; the outer, or more strictly 

 speaking the posterior, face of the meropodites is smooth, devoid of 

 hairs, except towards the dorsal edge which is densely covered 

 with bundles of hairs and but slightly rugose. The carpopo- 

 dite is armed in the usual way with a spine, beneath which is a short 

 bilobed spinule ; its upper surface roughly punctate ; an impres- 

 sion is to be observed at its distal articular end which is not more 

 than ordinarily thickened. The propodite is coarsely punctate, 

 its lower border is longitudinally concave, its prolongation is exter- 

 nally grooved, and so is the dactylopodite with which it is in contact 

 throughout its whole length. The ambulatory legs are robust ; the 

 ridges of all their joints are thickly covered with bundles of hairs ; 

 the penultimate joints are similar to those of Telphusa Andersoniana.

Carapace slightly broader than long, tumid, punctate, extremely 



convex in every direction, with an areolation similar to that of 



the three last described species, but the mesogastric lobe is almost 



confluent anteriorly with the protogastric and this latter is marked
