B. Upper surface of hands coarsely granulate, armed only with three short 

 stout spines on inner margin behind the dactyl. Distal half of 

 eye-stalks about same width as cornea, proximal half abruptly en- 

 larged, about half again as wide. Eostriform tooth of front reach- 

 ing to tips of eye scales or slightly beyond, much more prominent, 

 larger and more acute than lateral teeth. (Known only from San 

 Pedro.) 



parvus, p. 124. 



II. Eye-stalks long and slender, about as long as or slightly longer than greatest 

 width of anterior portion of carapace. Eostriform tooth of front longer, 

 more prominent, and more acute than lateral teeth, reaching to or beyond 

 bases of eye scales. Hands much as in P. turgidus. (Not known north 

 of Monterey.)

Characters. — Hands only moderately broad, about one-third or more than one- 

 third longer than wide, outer margin but slightly bowed out; immovable finger 

 at base subequal with or but slightly wider than movable finger, upper surface of 

 hands strongly spined with numerous dark-tipped spines. Eye-stalks about three- 

 fourths as long as width of anterior portion of carapace. Antennal flagella 

 sparsely haired. Teeth of front subequal, rostriform tooth reaching about to 

 bases of eye scales. 



Dimensions. — Type: length 76.2 mm. Length of carapace in the Biological 

 Survey specimens ranged between 10 and 20 mm. 



Color. — Yellowish, obscured by the hirsute covering; eye peduncles and internal 

 antennae with a longitudinal streak of crimson (Stimpson). 



Type Locality. — Puget Sound. 



Distribution. — From British Columbia to San Diego, California, to a depth of 

 254 fathoms. 



Biological Survey of San Francisco Bay. — Paguristes turgidus was 

 dredged at three outside stations, D 5788, 5789, 5806, ranging in 

 depth from 13 to 68 fathoms, with an accompanying temperature 

 range of 9.3° to 11.1° C and a salinity range of 34.0 to 34.3.
