Fig. 83. Paguristes parvus, dorsal view of anterior portion (from Holmes). 



Characters. — Eostriform tooth of front long and prominent, reaching to tips 

 of eye scales or beyond, very much larger and more acute than lateral teeth. 

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

 spines on inner margin behind the dactyl. Length of eye-stalks measured from 

 orbital margin about two-thirds the width of the anterior portion of the carapace; 

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

 enlarged, about half again as wide. 



Dimensions. — Type : length 12.7 mm. 



Type Locality. — White's Point, near San Pedro, California. 



Bemarlcs. — In the collection of the IT. S. National Museum there is a Paguristes 

 which is undoubtedly a cotype of Holmes 's parvus. The label reads, ' ' San Pedro, 

 California; littoral among rocks; July 23, 1895; S. J. Holmes." Except that the 

 eye scales are cut into two instead of three points it fits the description given 

 by Holmes very closely. The specimen is a female about 12.7 mm. in length, the 

 length given by Holmes for the type.

 Eye-stalks about three-fourths, more rarely seven-eighths, 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. — Types, female : length 63.5 mm. ; males : length 114.3 and 127 

 mm. In the Biological Survey material the length of carapace ranged between 

 9 and 35 mm., mostly about 25 mm. long.
