2 ZOOLOGY OF THE VOYA.GE OP H.M.S. SAMARANG. 



thorace subdilatato lateraliter supra insertiones secundi, tertii, et quarti pedum parium, sed inde ad frontis 

 apicem omuino integro. 



Fronte ad extrernitatem anteriorem declinata, a thorace liaud plane distincta, ultra medium emarginata, 

 atque incisa antice, efficiente duos lobos qui ad extremitates rotundati sunt. 



Chelis sequalibuSj subgracilibus, brevibus densis tenuibus setis coopertis ; brachio subcylindrico ad 

 oculos introrsum curvato, longis, fortibus, paululum curvatis setis utrimque fimbriato; carpo convexo et 

 extrorsum inclinato ; manu lateraliter compressa, convexa externe, concava interne, infra rotundata, supra 

 subangulari ; digito breviore, lsevi, curvato, et minutim denticulato. 



Secundo et tertio paribus pedum thorace vix ter dimidioque longioribus ; multo crassioribus, majoribus et 

 longioribus quarto et quinto paribus ; tertio articulo cylindrico et antice paullo latiore ; quarto articulo elongate, 

 conicali, longis setis utrimque fimbriato ; quinto articulo tertio longiore tertia parte, margine anteriore leniter 

 curvato, posteriore dilatato, arcuato, longis, bene dispositis, ciliatis processibus retro directis utrimque 

 fimbriato, supra leniter sulcato, infra profundis canahbus ; chelis dilatatis, admodum curvatis, supra sulcatis, 

 setis longis fortibusque utrimque fimbriatis ; apice curvato et acuto. 



Quarto et quinto pedum paribus thoracem fere ter longitudine superantibus ; secundo et tertio paribus 

 multo gracilioribus atque minoribus ; tertio et quarto articulo fere simili longitudine ; quinto articulo brevi, 

 lato, depresso incurvato ; chelis dilatatis, acutis, et chelis reliquorum pedum crassioribus. 



Hab. Mare Mindorum. 



Front deeply incised, lobes of the front angular ; second and third pairs of legs very 

 slender, nearly three times and a half the length of the carapace ; fourth and fifth pairs nearly 

 three times as long as the carapace. 



Carapace about seven lines long and five wide, trigonal, broad behind, gradually 

 becoming narrower towards the front, tomentose, and beset with numerous short, sharp, 

 sting-shaped processes, particularly towards the hinder part ; middle and branchial regions 

 separated by a rather superficial impression, posteriorly a transverse groove between the 

 carapace and abdomen ; body hollowed out between the fifth pair of legs, carapace a little 

 dilated laterally above the insertions of the second, third, and fourth pairs of legs, but per- 

 fectly entire from this to the apex of the front. 



Front bent down towards the anterior extremity, not distinctly separated from the cara- 

 pace, emarginate beyond the middle, and deeply notched anteriorly, forming two lobes which 

 are rounded at the ends. 



Fore-legs equal in size, rather slender, covered with short, close-set, fine hairs ; third joint 

 subcylindrical, curved inwards towards the eyes, fringed on each side with long, stiff, slightly- 

 curved hairs ; fourth joint convex and bent outwards ; fifth joint somewhat laterally com- 

 pressed, convex externally, concave internally, rounded below, rather angular above ; claws 

 rather short, smooth, curved, and finely denticulated. 



Second and third pairs of legs nearly three times and a half longer than the carapace, 

 much stouter, larger and longer than the fourth and fifth pairs ; third joint cylindrical, and a 

 little wider anteriorly ; fourth joint elongated, conical, fringed on each side with long hairs ; 

 fifth joint a third longer than the third joint, the anterior margin slightly curved, the posterior 

 dilated, arched, fringed with long, regular, ciliated processes on each side, directed back-
