The specimens referred to this species, are similar in the front and 

 antero-lateral margin to the sexdentatus. The teeth are triangular 

 and nearly acute. But the tarsi are much more slender, and the 

 margins of both these and the other joints of the eight posterior legs 

 (including upper margins of third joint), are somewhat hirsute. The 

 hand and carpus are smooth. The surface of the carapax in both spe- 

 cies is fine granulous. 



Length of carapax of a male, nine and a half lines ; breadth, eleven 

 lines ; length of the front, five lines. 



Cyclograpsus crenulatus, Edwards, Crust., ii. 80. 



Hemigrapsus crassimanus. 



Carapax subtiliter granulatus, margins antero-laterali leviter 2-emargi- 

 natOy dentibus brevissimis et rotundatis, etiam emarginatione tertid obso- 

 letd. Pedes maris antici crassi, nudi, carjpo supra indentato. Pedes 

 seguentes tenues, articido tertio supra fere nudo, infra lanoso, reliquis 

 margines plerumque pubescentibus, quinto supra sulcato, tarso graciU. 

 Abdomen maris perangustum, articulo ultimo angustd elongato.
