This specimen has the following dimensions : —

and development.

Carapace depressed, subquadrilateral, and usually much longer than broad ; the 
cervical and cardiaco-branchial sutures distinctly defined. Front bilobated, the lobes 
divided by a deep median sinus, and each terminating in two spines, one of which is 
the interior orbital spine ; there is also a spine at the exterior orbital angle. Orbits 
rather large and shallow, incompletely defined, with the superior margin deeply sinuated 
or emarginated. The buccal cavity is rather abruptly narrowed and triangulate towards 
the distal extremity. The post-abdomen (in the male) is usually distinctly seven-jointed. 
1 Dorippe sima, Milne Edwards, is, as de Haan has pointed out (Crust, in v. Siebold, Fauna Japonica, p. 123), almost 
certainly identical with the crab figured by Herbst as Cancer facchino. But Herbst says in bis description of this species, 
wherein he correctly distinguishes between it and the Mediterranean Dorippe lanata, “ Man findet sie sowohl am mittel- 
landische Meere, als an den Ost-Indischen Kiisten,” and there is a specimen purporting, though upon no reliable 
authority, to have been obtained in the Mediterranean, in the collection of the Museum.
