 Haan, but excluding such of De Haan's species as have not spoon- 

 shaped fingers.

Carapax naked, not granulate, shining, anteriorly distinctly areolate, 

 areolets a little monticulose, 1M, 2M, distinct, 2 M subdivided; 

 front nearly straight, emarginate, anterolateral margin thin, faintly 

 four-lobed, three posterior lobes nearly equal. Anterior feet equal, 

 not carinate, hand and carpus tuberculate, tubercles made of aggre- 

 gated granules, outer surface of hand in part seriate with granules. 

 Eight posterior feet neatly carinate, carina of third and fourth 

 joints near apex profoundly incised; tarsus sparsely hirsute.

Shores of a small island off the principal harbour of Sooloo. 



Length of carapax, 2*6 lines; greatest breadth, 3*9 lines; ratio of 

 length to breadth, 1 : 1*5. The areolets are somewhat marked with inter- 

 rupted cross lines, sometimes crenulate, and in some parts of the antero- 

 lateral the surface consists of low points. The lobes of the antero- 

 lateral margin are separated by a minute fissure, and are but slightly 

 prominent. Between the beaded tubercles of the hands and carpus 

 there is a slight imperfect velvety appearance. The third joint of the 

 posterior legs is naked, except two or three hairs at apex, and the 

 following joint is nearly the same; the fifth has some short hairs
