This crab may be distinguished among those of this coast 

 by its scabrous and setose surface, and the large triangular 

 lateral teeth, of which there are four on the antero-lateral 

 and two on the postero-lateral margin. These teeth have 

 serrated margins, and the outer one on each side is much 

 the largest. The inter-antennary front, which is separated 

 from the preeorbital tooth on either side by a broad sinus, 

 has four small equal teeth. Length about two inches. It 

 was found on the coast of Upper California by Dr. Le 

 Conte ; in Puget Sound by the Exploring Expedition ; and 

 at Sitka by Wosnessenski.
