THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 
(4) Carapace areolate, with pink reticulating lines. 
Trapezia areolata , Dana —Trapezia reticulata, Stimpson(?) ; 
Trapezia areolata, var. inermis, A. Milne Edwards ; Trapezia 
areolata, var. Isevis. Polynesian Islands ; Loo-Choo. This 
species varies much in the acuteness of the lateral marginal 
teeth and in the size of the areoles of the carapace, which 
may extend over the chelipedes, and perhaps over the 
ambulatory legs ( cf Stimpson). 
Trapezia jlavo-punctata, Eydoux and Souleyet = Trapezia 
latifrons, A. Milne Edwards (?). Sandwich Islands ; New 
Caledonia. Distinguished from Trapezia areolata by the 
areolated ambulatory legs, and by having the inferior 
margins of the palms of the chelipedes armed with granules 
or small tubercles. 
Trapezia cymodoce {?), (Herbst).

Samboangan, Philippines, 1 0 fathoms, on the reefs, an adult male and female ; off 
Nukalofa, Tongatabu, 18 fathoms, in lat. 20° 58' 0" S., long. 175° 9' 0" E. (Station 
172), an adult and a fully grown and a smaller female. 
As I have noted above, the carapace and limbs in this species are of a uniform 
reddish or bluish-brown, without reticulating lines or spots ; the lateral marginal teeth of 
the carapace are acute and well developed in the adult ; the palms of the chelipedes are 
subcristated on the superior margins, and hairy on the exterior surface.
