JAPANESE HERMIT-CRABS. 



385 



Gill-plates biserial, each plate bifid at tip, broad. 



Colour in spirit greenish ; eyestalks whitish. The peculiar 

 greenish colour of the body is probably due to the verdigris which 

 was produced by the brass-wire used to keep together the broken 

 feet. The alcohol in which the specimen has been preserved also 

 shows a faintly greenish colour. 



Note : This new species is based on a male specimen in the S. C. Mus. ; it is labelled Oki- 

 nosé, Sagami Sea ; 290 fathoms ; May 5th, 1899, Kuma coll. The species is closely 

 allied to P. pilosimanus, but differs from this in the much broader shape of the eyestalk. 

 It is also near to P. bouvieri, but is distinguishable by the pleopods being apically not 

 so much broadened as in the latter species.
