Six specimens of different sizes were collected at Elphinstone 
Island, an adult female and five younger specimens. 
The cephalothorax of the adult individual is 23 millim. broad 
and 15 millim. long. The specimens all belong to that variety 
in which the two posterior antero-lateral teeth are acute, spini- 
form, and obliquely directed forward; the two anterior antero- 
lateral lobes and the external orbital angles are rounded. The 
anterior margin of the arms of the chelipedes is armed with 
a small acute tooth, and the upper margin is somewhat granular. 
This species seems to be distributed throughout the whole Indo- 
Pacific region, having been recorded from the Red Sea (Tor, 
Djeddah), ‘the Seychelles, Zanzibar, Madagascar, Mauritius, 
Madras, Nicobar Islands, the Malayan archipelago (Java, 
Timor, Halmahera), the coasts of Australia (Port Jackson, Darn- 
ley Island), New Guinea, New Caledonia, and the Pacific Ocean 
(Fiji, Loo-Choo, and Samoa Islands) as far as Tahiti.

Three fine specimens (2¢, 192) were collected at Sullivan 
Island. 
The cephalothorax of the largest individual is 154 millim. 
long and 25 millim. broad. As in Chlorodius niger, so also in 
this species, the form of the antero-lateral teeth is variable
