240 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
The red peduncles of the antennz and antennules are also marked 
with narrow longitudinal pale lines. The chelipedes are of the 
same red colour, that is more intense on the upper than on the 
under surface ; the dentiform acute tubercles with which they 
are armed are of a paler colour and, especially those of the hands, 
contrast rather strongly with the red ground-colour of the palm. 
The fingers have subexcavate corneous tips, the upper margins 
of which are black. The first and second pair of ambulatory 
legs are also of the same red colour, and are marked, moreover, 
with longitudinal pale lines bordered by a darker red. The 
upper margins of the meropodites of the first pair of ambu- 
latory legs are marked on their upper margins with a similar 
longitudinal pale line; this line divides near the middle of the 
upper margin into two pale lines, one of which proceeds further 
forwards on to the upper margin and is continued along the upper 
margins of the following joints, while the other is directed 
towards the middle of the external surface of the joint, and is then 
continued on to the middle of the outer surfaces of the following 
joints. The ambulatory legs of the second pair are marked with 
precisely similar lines, except that the outer surfaces of the 
meropodites are marked moreover with a third longitudinal pale 
line on the middle of their outer surfaces, which, however, is not 
continued on to the following joints. The under margins of the 
joints are also of a pale colour, which is especially distinct on 
those of the propodites and dactylopodites.
