94 CRUSTACEA FROM THE BAHAMAS 



Total length of specimen i6 mm. 



The species above described agrees generically with Athanas 

 Leach (Edin. Ency., VIII, p. 432), with the exception that the eyes 

 are entirely covered by the carapace. I propose, rather than found a 

 new genus on the single specimen, to amend Leach's definition of 

 Athanas by changing the statement, " Opthalmopoda short, scarcely 

 reaching beyond frontal margin of carapace" (Bate, Challenger, 

 Macrura, p. 528), to opthalmopoda short, covered by, or scarcely reach- 

 ing beyond the frontal margin of carapace. 



There are four hitherto described species of Athanas: — 



A. nitiscens Leach. England and Norway, Mediterranean to 

 Cape Verde Islands. 



A. veloculus Bate (I.e., p. 529). Cape Verde Islands. 



A. mascarenicus Richters (Beitrage zur Merresfauna von Mauri- 

 tius u. d. Seychellen, p. 164, 1880), Mauritius. 



A. dimorphus Ortmann, Crust, in Semon's Forschungsreise (Jena. 

 Denks., VIII, 1894, p. 12). East Africa: Dar-es- Salaam. 



From all these species ^. ortmanni may be distinguished at a glance 

 by the form of the large chela.
