ANOMOURA PAGURIDEA. 44} 



bili carinato, crenulato et superficie uni-seriatim tuberculato etiam 

 tuberculis rninoribus instructo. Pedes 3 sequentes marginibus ambobus 

 densd hirstiti, vix spinulosi. 



Peduncles of eyes hardly shorter than anterior margin of carapax, 

 slightly longer than base of outer antennae, much longer than acicle, 

 which is hirsute on inner side; cornea not oblique, short; basal 

 scale rather narrow, inciso-denticulate at apex. Anterior feet very 

 unequal, nearly naked ; carpus towards apex somewhat pubescent, 

 surface granuli-spinulous; larger hand oblong, sparingly longer but 

 not broader than carpus, having on the surface six lines of small 

 rounded tubercles, the marginal being included, and smooth between, 

 the moveable finger carinate and crenulate, outer surface with one 

 series of tubercles and other smaller tubercles. Four following 

 pairs of feet with the margins densely hirsute, hardly spinulous.

New Zealand. 



Length, one and a half to two inches ; ratio of carpus to hand, in 

 length, nearly as 10 : 11, and breadth of hand, two-thirds its length. 

 Colour, dark green to grayish green ; rows of granules on hand deep 

 blue ; deep blue colour also at base of joints of six anterior legs ; 

 peduncle of eye green, except near cornea where it is white; eye 

 brownish green; inner antennae green with blue tips. The fingers 

 of the smaller hand have a corneous edge, but not those of the larger. 

 The tarsi are rather short, without spines above. The anterior part 

 of the carapax is rather longer than broad, or not shorter ; and it is 

 nearly naked. The peduncle of the eyes is cylindrical, and has the 

 tip triangular in outline. The hand of the fourth pair of legs is 

 smooth excepting lower edge, and the moveable finger is broad la- 

 mellar. This species dies soon after being taken out of the water. 



The P. cristatus (a New Zealand species, Edwards, Crust., ii. 218) 

 has the acicle of the outer antennae longer than the eyes, while it is 

 much shorter in the above species.
