Dimensions. — -Types: length from 6.4 to 8.5 mm. 



Type Locality.' — Coast of Chile. 



Distribution. — Southern California (either Catalina Harbor or Monterey) to 

 Chile; Indian Eiver, Florida, to Eio de Janeiro; Bermudas (Eathbun). A speci- 

 men has also been collected at Laguna Beach, California, by W. A. Hilton. 



Memories.- — Should be readily recognizable by its small size, as compared with 

 E. productus, and by its entire rostrum. 



Genus Mimulus Stimpson 



Carapace flattened, smooth or nearly so, more or less pentagonal; lateral por- 

 tions laminate, much produced, wing-like, anterolateral margin cut by a narrow 

 fissure into two closely approximate lobes. Eostrum short, bifid, horizontal. Basal 

 antennal joint enlarged at base and narrowing distally. Orbits incomplete below, 

 but furnished above with a preocular and postocular spine. First pair of ambula-

Characters. — Carapace flattened and marked with several undulations; lateral 

 expansions a little reflexed, margin behind incision nearly twice the length of that 

 in front; anterolateral and posterolateral angles wide, latter somewhat produced; 

 median region tumid, and bearing two small obsolescent tubercles, in front of 

 which there may be two rows of curved setae; posterior part of branchial region 

 also with an obsolescent tubercle. Eostral horns short, flattened, with convex outer 

 margins, the notch between them narrowly triangular and setose ; on upper side 

 of rostrum there are two double rows of curved setae. Preocular tooth large, 

 triangular, acute ; postocular small and pointing obliquely downward, separated 

 by a fissure from preocular. Chelipeds of male large; hand oblong, fingers bent 

 downward and curved inward, somewhat gaping near base, distally dentate;
