Hah. Singapore ; littoral. Three males and a female. 



These are all fine specimens, and, as I have not seen any 

 description of the species since that of Milne-Edwards in 1834, 

 and a few additional remarks by Mr. Miers (t. c), I give a further 

 one now. 



Carapace somewhat lobulated, more particularly in front and on 

 the sides, and rather depressed ; under the lens everywhere 

 minutely punctated ; furrows between the lobules broad and rather 

 deep. Front relatively narrow, consisting of two projecting lobes, 

 separated by a deep median notch, closed posteriorly ; each lobe 

 with a short, thick, granulated and concave anterior margin, the 

 external half of which is lower than the interior, so that the line 

 of the front is curved dorso-ventrally : a deep wide notch between 

 this and the internal orbital angle, below which, when viewed from 

 above, appear the antenna?. This angle forms a salient tubercle. 

 Upper orbital margin thick, its external half divided, by two con- 

 spicuous closed fissures, into two low tubercles, the outer of which 

 forms the external angle of the orbit. Lower margin formed of 

 two tubercles ; one, more prominent, below and external to the 

 internal orbital angle, the other below and internal to the external 

 angle. A curved line of granules, set in a shallow furrow, sepa- 

 rates the subhepatic and pterygostomian regions : merus of 

 external maxillipedes granulated, as also are the anterior half of 

 the first sternal segment and the internal edge of the others where 

 they abut on the abdomen ; the first sternal segment also presents 

 a deep median groove. 



Chelipedes fairly long ; merus and carpus internally granulate, 

 hand internally smooth and slightly punctate. External surface 

 of merus smooth, its upper margin with a line of long hairs ; 

 external surface of carpus tuberculate and punctate, its internal 

 angle with a strong fonvardly curved spine, which has a low 

 tubercle at its base posteriorly ; external surface of hand 

 punctate, and with three longitudinal rows of low tubercles; 

 upper margin with two rows of tubercles, irregularly disposed. 

 Fingers black, this colour extending a little way on to the under, 

 lower external, and lower internal surfaces of the hand ; externally
