 other islands in the Pacific; also Manilla, Philippine Islands. 



Length of carapax of one specimen, four and one-eighth inches; 

 greatest breadth, five and three-eighths inches; ratio of length to 

 breadth, 1 : 1'B. The bright-red spots on the carapax are eleven in 

 number, and look like red wafers : there are two on each anterolateral 

 region ; three across the middle ; and four smaller across the posterior 

 part of the carapax. The surface is somewhat shining and smooth, 

 though a little wrinkled along the rounded antero-lateral margin. 

 The front is very projecting, showing the lobes quite prominent in an 

 upper view, the two middle projecting a little beyond the outer, and 

 all much beyond the line of the orbits.
