 simple, the second a little double. Eyes rounded at apex, having at

Length, slightly over two lines. 



The character of the eyes and the areolate character of the surface 

 of the hands, as observed under a high magnifier, distinguish this species 

 from the subserratus. The same areolate character is seen in the 

 exterior maxillipeds, upon the other joints of the legs, and appears at 

 first sight to be a granulation of the surface. Each minute areola ap- 

 pears to have a prominent point at centre, looking like an obsolete 

 spine. The teeth of the fingers only extend along the apical bait of 

 the inner margin, the rest being very nearly a straight line.
