E. carpoforaviinatus var. nephromma, Alcock, Cat. Ind. Dec. 

 Crust., pt. 2, fase. 1, 1905, p. 131, pi. xi, fig. 4, 4a. 



Note : To the above species which was described by Stimpson from the North China Sea 

 I refer two male specimens contained in the Sci. Coll. Museum. They were obtained 

 by a trawler in the Nagasaki Prefecture. Both exhibit a pin-hole-like depression on the 

 ventral side of the carpus of each cheliped, and seem to be also referable to Alcoc.k's 

 E. earpoforaminatus var. nepliromma, but not exactly with typical E. carpoforamiiiatits 

 of the same author. In fact I am greatly inclined to think that the depression has 

 escaped Stimpson's attention and that E. carpoforamiiiatits var. 7iepliromma Alcock is 

 identical with his E. mega/ops. If I am right in this assumption, it follows that 

 Alcock's typical E. carpoforamiiiatits should be called E. megalops var. carpo/ ora- 

 minata, which may be distinguishable from typical E. megalops by having, amongst 

 other points of difference, relatively longer dactyli to second and third pairs cf legs, 

 the dactyli being about twice (instead of about cne and a half times) longer than the 

 propodite. 



The specimens in question, which were at first put into formalin but were after- 

 wards transferred into 1^% alcohol, show a faint purplish red colouration on the anterior 

 border of carapace and on the dorsal surface of chelipeds and legs. On the legs this 

 colour tends to occur in the form of cross-bands. On the ventral surface the chelipeds
