ANOMOURA PAGURIDEA. 437 



of carapax, and very much longer than base or acicle of outer 

 antennae, or base of inner antennae ; basal scale of moderate size, 

 acute. Flagellum of outer antennae naked. Anterior feet equal, 

 hand and carpus depressed, broad, neatly areolate, but not at all 

 scabrous to the touch, hand below near outer margin villous. Four 

 following feet areolate within, hirsute above, nearly smooth and 

 naked on outer surface.

Length, one and one-fourth inches. The carapax has on the front 

 a projection just exterior to the eyes, which is simply acute on one 

 side, and bears two minute points on the other ; the anterior margin 

 between forms a raised border. The basal scale of the eyes is broad 

 at base, but abruptly narrows and terminates in a narrow triangular 

 point, which has two or three spinules near apex. The acicle of the 

 outer antennae has spinulous margins. The hands are covered with 

 small areolae elongated transversely, which have the anterior margin 

 ciliated ; but the areolae are so even in surface that there is no sca- 

 brous feel to the touch. The immoveable finger has a very neatly 

 denticulate margin, while the moveable one has the margin corneous. 

 The hairs of the back margin of the tarsi are longer than those of the 

 lower margin. The inner surface of the penult joint of these legs has 

 ciliated areolae like the hands. The fourth pair of legs is not subche- 

 liform, but unguiculate. 



Pagurtstes hirtus. 



Rostrum brevissimum. Carapax plerumque hirtus. Oculi graciles, 

 margine carapacis antico non breviores, basi vel aciculo antennarum 

 externarum multo longiores, basi antennarum internarum breviores, 

 squama basali valde elongatd, angustd, margine externo arcuato et 

 tenuiter bene denticulato. Flagellum antennarum externarum infra 

 elongatl ciliatum. Pedes 2di Stiique Mrti, crassiuscxdi. Pedes antici 

 cequi, manu breviter spinosd etfasciculis hirsutd, subellipticd, margine 

 superiore fere recto, inferiore spinis conicis armato.
