Records of the Indian Museum. [Voi+. XXIV, 



apex of the telson is sharply pointed and the intermediate pair 

 of terminal spines is long. 



Large females from the Gulf of Manaar reach, a length of 

 about 19 mm. Those I have seen from other localities are smaller, 

 none exceeding 14 mm. 



Specimens from the Andaman Is., when alive, were closely 

 mottled with pale buff, lichen-green and brown. 



Borradaile does not mention the curious papilla on the eye- 

 stalk, but I have examined his type-specimens and find that it is 

 present.

The specimens in the collection are from the following locali- 

 ties : —

C 356/1. Tor, G.of Suez. 



C 357/1. Kilakara'i, G. of Manaar. 



G 358/1. Pamban, G. of Manaar.

The species was described by Borradaile from Praslin, Sey- 

 chelles. 



The great majority of the specimens in the collection are ovi- 

 gerous females. In the localities where I myself have found it, 

 the species was taken among weeds in shallow water.
