raerua one and a quarter times the length of these joints. Carpus 

 and merus each with a blnnt tooth on the lower margins. The 

 hands, too, are generally similar, but that of the smaller chelipede 

 is more narrowed distally, owing to the greater obliquity of its 

 lower margin ; the fingers of both are short, but the dactyl of the 

 larger hand is more curved than that of the smaller ; a few scattered 

 longish hairs are found on the fingers of hoth hands. The outer 

 and inner surfaces of both carpi and propodi have a brownish -red 

 basis of colouring (in formol) with white blotches or spots, the 

 white parts appearing under a lens rather as an incrustation on 

 the general surface.
