the latter are longitudinally striated by delicate red lires, each 
of the outer and inner surfaces of the joints of the second and ~ 
third legs being marked with four or five longitudinal strie of a 
yellowish red. The legs are somewhat hairy. 
137. CLIBANARIUS PADAVENSIS*, n. sp. (Pl. XVI. fig. 1.) 
No fewer than nineteen specimens of this fine new form were 
collected in King Island Bay. The larger specimens :nhabit 
shells of Pyrula vespertilio and Natica, and the smaller occur in 
shells of Melania, Ranella, and Cerithium. C. padavensis b2longs 
to the section of the genus which is characterized by the dacty- 
lopodites of the legs of the second and third pair being distinctly 
longer than the propodites. It appears to be closely allied to 
©. longitarsis, De Haan, a Japanese species, which, according to 
Heller and Hilgendorf, also inhabits the Indian Ocean. This 
new species, however, may at first sight be distinguished from 
C. longitarsis by its coloration, which presents a striking resem- 
blance to C. striolatus, Dana. The latter form, however, differs 
from C. padavensis by its shorter, broader hands, the breadth of 
which slightly exceeds half their length, whereas in the Mergui 
species the hands are much more than twice as long as broad. 
C. teniatus, M.-Edw., is readily distinguished by the longitudinal 
pale lines bordered with red on the upper surface of the cephalo- 
thorax and probably by other characters, as e.g. the absence of 
hairs on the lateral parts of the gastric region, &c. C. lineatus, 
M.-Edw., from the coast of Ecuador, is doubtless a distinct species. 
I may add that I sent a specimen to Prof. Milne-Edwards, and 
that he informed me the species was unknown to him. 
The anterior portion of the upper surface of the cephalothorax, 
which is bordered posteriorly by the cervical suture, is distinctly 
longer than broad, being, in an adult specimen, 103 millim. long 
(the median frontal tooth included) and 9 millim. broad. The 
gastric region is glabrous and marked with many small impres- 
sions, some of which are of an irregular form, whereas the others 
are round or oval. On each side of the gastric region the 
upper surface bears some small tufts of rather long yellow hairs, 
arranged in two or three longitudinal rows. Similar tufts of 
hair are also observed on the anterior half of the part of the 
cephalothorax which lies behind the cervical suture. The rostrum 
* The name given to this new species is taken from Padaw, the native name
