56 ZOOLOGY OF THE VOYAGE OE H.M.S. SAMAEANG. 



Fore-legs granulose, twice the length of the carapace ; third joint with two spines on the 

 upper edge, and a double spine on the inner edge ; fourth joint with a single tubercle above, 

 and an elongated simple lobe externaUy ; fifth joint subcylindrical, with two longitudinal 

 grooves externally, and a single groove internally. 



Claws short ; upper claw curved, with a single small tubercle, externally, near the base, 

 lower edge with numerous teeth ; lower claw triangular, grooved externally, the upper edge 

 sharp and dentate. 



Abdomen (of female) seven-jointed, tomentose, the edges fringed with coarse short hairs.

5. IPHIS, Leach. 



1. IPHIS NOVEM-SPINOSA, Adams 8? White. (Tab. XIII. Pig. 1.) 



Thoraee leevi granuloso, granulis antice aggregatis, postice sparsis, marginibus latero-anterioribus spinis 

 duabus subobtusis prorsum et extrorsum porrectis ; marginibus latero-posterioribus spinis duabus retrorsum 

 et extrorsum directis, infra lias spinis duabus brevis conicis retrorsum et extrorsum porrectis ; margine 

 posteriore, spina longa recta in medio retrorsum directa. 



Fronte in lobos duos conicales divergentes divisa. 



Hab. Insulas Philippinas. 



Carapace polished, granular, granules close together in front, more sparsely disposed 

 towards the hinder part ; latero-anterior borders with two short, stout, somewhat obtuse 

 spines directed forwards and outwards ; latero-posterior borders with two long spines directed 

 backwards and a little outwards, with their ends curving upwards, and below these, nearer 

 the middle hue, two short conical spines proceeding backwards and outwards ; posterior 

 border with a long straight spine in the middle, projecting directly backwards. 



Front ending in two conical diverging lobes. 



Hab. Philippine Islands (Mindoro). 



This species differs from Iphis septem-spinosa of Leach, in the general form of the 

 carapace, which is less triangular, more oval, covered with granules, and wants the sharp 

 ridge which extends along the middle of the carapace of I. septem-spinosa ; in the lateral 

 spines being short and curved ; in the possession of two additional spines placed anteriorly 

 to these latter ; in the greater comparative size of the upper posterior pair of spines ; in the
