Mr. John Cranch discovered this species of Inachus on the Western coast of Devon or 
Cornwall ; and it has since been taken from a crab pot in Bigbury Bay, by C. Prideaux, Esq. 
It is easily distinguished from Inachus Dorhi/nchus by its more slender arms, and by the 
number and disposition of the spines on the back. The tubercle also on the breast of the 
male is a very striking and curious character.
