 L'ic. ■ ? A male. 



A Lambrus with the walking-legs perfectly smooth, merus and 

 carpus rounded, propodus flattened. Carapace raised into four 

 prominences — one on the gastric region, one on the cardiac, and 

 one on each branchial. The gastric prominence is flattened above; 

 the cardiac is rather globular, bluntly pointed above ; each 

 branchial forms an oblique ridge with very rounded upper edge. 

 Each of: these prominences is covered with flattened raspberry-like 

 granules ; and each branchial bears, moreover, a large rounded 

 tubercle at the middle of its upper edge and a tall pedicled tubercle, 

 quite smooth, at the hinder portion of its upper edge where the 

 prominence ends, falling quite abruptly straight down to the 

 postero-lateral border of the carapace above the base of the third 

 pair of walking-legs. The depressions between these prominences 

 are deep, rather smooth, with scattered similar granules. The 

 rostrum is very prominent, vertically thick, with the tip slightly 

 deflexed, its upper surface deeply excavate as far back as the 

 gastric prominence, its sides coarsely wrinkled. Sides of carapace 

 edged with low raspberry-like tubercles, which are more distinct 

 behind ; just in front of the middle of the border is a deepish cleft, 

 which continues on to the carapace as a shallow basin-like hollow. 

 Ptervgostomian regions flattened and smooth, but with a line of 

 tubercles parallel with, and similar to, those on the antero-lateral 

 border. 



Chelipedes very long, with prominent granular tubercles, of 

 •varying size, on their anterior and posterior borders, and much 

 lower similar tubercles on their lower borders. Upper surface of 

 arm with a prominent row of these tubercles, nearer the posterior 

 margin than the anterior ; proximal half of the upper surface of 

 the hands with a similar row in a similar position, continued 

 distally, quite suddenly, as a double row of small tubercles. 

 Genera! upper surface otherwise smooth ; general under surface 

 also smooth, but with more frequent separate tubercles, which tend 

 to be arranged in longitudinal rows. 



Sternal surface with irregularly scattered smooth granules, one 

 much larger on each side at the base of the chelipedes. Abdomen 

 with occasional smooth granules and a conical Bpine on the 

 penultimate joint. 



Dim. 40x34.
