One specimen also was taken on Mast Head Island, differing 

 only in the more marked spinulation of the outer surface of the 

 carpus of the left cheliped, and in having the inner surface of 

 the merus not clothed with hairs. 



The genus does not appear to have been previously recorded 

 from Australia, but Alcock's excellent description and figure 

 leave no doubt as to the correctness of the identification.

Mast Head Island; on the reef. 



Our specimens differ only from Alcock's description and figure 

 in not having the antennal acicle "extremely short, not reaching 

 to the base of the last joint of the peduncle"; and in the pro- 

 podus of the third left leg not being " more than half as broad as 

 long and with the outer surface flattened." These are, however, 

 minor characters, and as they agree in all other points with the 

 figures quoted, there appears to us no justification for raising 

 them to specific or even varietal rank.
