Characters.— Carpus of large eheliped with a very deep, fiat, perpendicular 

 inner face, forming a sharply distinct angle with the inferior or lower face, depth 

 of carpus greater than width. Base of immovable finger of large hand somewhat 

 excavated above, with a quite evident though evenly rounded and not abrupt 

 depression near the outer margin, causing the finger to appear bent upward. 

 Small hand very much compressed laterally, not swollen, deeper than wide, sides 

 (inner and outer faces) subparallel. Anterior portion of carapace very long, 

 about one-third longer than wide, not hairy, smooth and shining; median projec- 

 tion of front triangular, acute. Acicle shorter than the eye-stalks; eye-stalks 

 comparatively long and slender. Ambulatory legs scarcely if at all hairy.

 length of carapace 17 mm. This is the largest specimen seen; there are in the 

 U. S. National Museum two other specimens, measuring in length respectively 23 

 and 25 mm.
