348 CRUSTACEA. 



The male abdomen is so different in shape from the minutus, and 

 the colour also, so unlike, that we believe the two to be different 

 species.

Genus HEMIGRAPSUS, Dana. 



Carapax fere Imvis, lineis transversis non notatus, f route fere recto, late- 

 ribus arcuatis. Maxillipedes extemi rJiombice Mantes, articulo Stio 

 orbiculato-cordato. Antennae internal transversa?. 



Carapax nearly smooth, not marked by transverse lines, front nearly 

 straight, sides arcuate. Outer maxillipeds separated by a large 

 rhomboidal space, third joint orbiculato-cordate. Inner antennae 

 transverse. 



Hemigrapsus includes part of the species referred to Edwards's 

 Cyclograpsus, as explained on page 331. The process outside of the 

 outer antennae is transverse, triangular, and sets closely against the 

 first joint of the antennae. The abdomen of the male is rather narrow, 

 and at base it does not quite reach to base of posterior legs. Carpus 

 rounded on inner side. Part of De Haan's Grapsi belong to this 

 genus.
