In the adult females the carapace is more convex and tuberculated than in the males. 
This species is always of a very small size ; an adult male in the Challenger series has 
the following dimensions : —

Breadth of carapace, nearly

The chelipedes, as in Herbstia condylicita, have the fingers in adult males arcuated 
and dentated near the apex, and with a wide intermarginal hiatus when closed.

Three small specimens (one male and two females) dredged off the coast of Brazil at 
Barra Grande, in 30 to 350 fathoms, lat. 9° 5' 0" to 9° 10' 0" S., long. 34° 50' 0" W. to 
34° 53' 0" W. (Station 122), are referred very doubtfully to this species. 
They agree with the description in the structure of the antennae, maxillipedes, 
chelipedes, and ambulatory legs, but the rostrum is divided nearly to its base, and the 
gastric and cardiac regions are very slightly convex, and are granulated (more distinctly 
in the male than in the females).

I think it not improbable that a comparison of these specimens with authentic 
examples of Stimpson’s species, which I have never seen, would demonstrate their 
specific distinctness.

Carapace subpyriform, moderately convex, and armed with strong spines on the 
dorsal surface. Spines of rostrum long and divergent. A well-developed prseocular 
spine. Orbits deep, well defined above, and with two deep fissures in the upper margin ; 
incomplete below. Post-abdomen in both sexes distinctly seven -jointed. Eyes, when 
retracted, concealed beneath the projecting superior orbital margin. Antennae with
