ATTSTEALIAN" MALACOSTKACA. 53 



legs covered with granular nodosities disposed in regular series. 

 Ambulatory legs slender and without spines above. 



Holborn Island, near Port Denison, on coral reef. Originally- 

 found in New Caledonia. 



There are some differences between the specimen from Port 

 Denison and the New Caledonian species described by Milne- 

 Edwards ; thus the front is more concave in the centre, and the 

 anterior margin of the buccal cavity is without the strong beading 

 shewn in Milne-Edwards' figure ; but the correspondence in all 

 other points is too close to permit of their being regarded as 

 distinct species. 



G-enus Menippb, De Haan. 



Antero-lateral margin shorter than the postero-lateral. Basal 

 joint of the external antennae short, neither reaching the front 

 nor a process of the front. Abdomen of the male seven-jointed.

 Swan River (Brit. Museum). 

 I have not seen the description of this species. 



Sub-Family Ghlorodince. 



Internal antennae transverse. External antennae firmly fixed 

 at the base, the flagellum rarely excluded from the orbit. Inter- 

 orbital region rather broad. Fingers spoon-excavate. [2).] 



G-enus Etistjs, Leach. 



Internal orbital hiatus occupied by a process of the base 

 of the antennae, excluding the flagellum from the orbital 

 cavity. Front broad, lamellar ; antero-lateral borders strongly 

 toothed. [Z>.]
