18 CRUSTACEA FROM PORT CURTIS DISTRICT, QUEENSLAND, 



tion given by de Man. They differ, however, from that author's 

 description in a few minute characters. There are no hairs on 

 the upper surface of the cephalothorax and no distinct granules 

 on the outer surface of the larger cheliped, although the outer 

 surface of the palm of the smaller hand is minutely granular. 

 The number of granulations nlso on the anterior part of the 

 carapace is larger and their size more minute than is suggested 

 by that author's description. In all macroscopic characters, how- 

 ever, it agrees with his figure. 



Alcock has already expressed doubt as to whether this species 

 is correctly included in the genus Actumnus, and with this we 

 are in cordial agreement.
