Bemaerkninger. Naervaerende Form er let kjendelig 
fra alle vore ovrige Arter ved den eiendommelige og skarpt 
udprsegede Sculptur af Haanden paa k0ire Fangarm. Deri- 
mod kommer den i denne Henseende temmelig user to mid- 
delhavske Arter, nemlig E. angulatus Risso og E. meticulosus 
Roux. Den fjjrste af disse Arter bar imidlertid ganske 
glatte Kjoler, og fra den sidste synes den at skille sig ved 
kortere og plumpere Hsender samt ved en betydelig stserkere 
udprseget Tornbessetning. 
Beskrivelse. Legemet er af temmelig kraftig og 
underssetsig Bygning og saavel paa Rygsiden som Bugsiden 
besat med spredte Knipper af fine Haar. 
Integumenterne er som hos de pvrige Arter af Slsegten 
temmelig tynde og delvis ganske membranose. 
Rygskjoldet viser (se Fig. 8) den saedvanlige noget 
hjertedannede Form. Dets forreste Parti er ved en skarpt 
markeret bueformigt boiet Cervicalfure adskilt fra den ba- 
geste Del og viser i Midten den egentlige Maveregion, til 
hver Side af denne en liden ufuldstsendig begrsendset Lever- 
region og belt bagtil umiddelbart foran Cerricalfuren paa 
hver Side et smalt, skjaevtliggende Felt, den saalcaldte “ regio 
metagastrica” . Den bageste Del af Rygskjoldet, der or af 
en mere budagtig Boskeffenbed end den forreste, er bagtil 
stserkt opsvulmet og i Midten udrandet, ladende sidste For- 
kropssegment ubedsekket. Man adskiller i Midten den smale, 
linesere Hjerteregion og til hver Side af denne de stserkt 
hvselvedc (Ijelleregioner. der oventil ved en utydelig Lsengde- 
fure er delt i to Felter. 
Bagkroppeu er af noget mindre membran0s Beskaf- 
fenhed end bos de fleste pvrige Arter af Slsegten, og de 3 
forreste Segmenter er paa Rygsiden begrsendsede ved tyde- 
ligt markerede Linier samt besatte med spredte Knipper 
af Haar. Den er som ssedvanligt assymetrisk og dreiet 
noget spiralformigt til lioire med Spidsen. 
0inene er af temmebg robust Form og noget kortere 
end Panderanden, aflangt kolleformige, med Endon temmelig 
stserkt udvidet og jevnt afrundet. Den facetterede Del viser 
oventil i Midten en dyb Udrandning og er forsynet med 
morkt, brunsort Pigment. De ved Roden Mggende Basal- 
plader er af noget uregelmsessig trekantet Form, indskaarne 
i den ydre Kant og besatte med korte Burster. 
lste Par Folere, der udspringer lige under 0inene, 
distinctly hollowed, and furnished with only a few scattered 
knobs; fingers scarcely at all longer than palm, broad and 
applanated, along the outer margin dentate, along the 
inner irregularly rugged. Hand of left cheliped narrowly 
ov&l, closely covered with hair, and, above, exhibiting a 
dentate longitudinal carina. Ambulatory legs of moderate 
length, with the two outer segments coarsely dentate, and 
ciliated along the anterior margin; terminal claw slightly 
curved, without teeth. Colour a pale yellowish-red. 
Locality. — Station 25: 1 specimen. 
Remarks. — This animal is easily distinguished from 
all our known species by the peculiar and sharply prominent 
sculpturing of the hand of the right cheliped. Meanwhile, 
it approximates in this respect considerably two Mediterra- 
nean species, 'viz. E. angulatus, Risso, and E. meticulosus, 
Roux. The former of these species has, however, perfectly 
smooth carina?, and the present species would appear, too, 
to be distinguished from the latter by shorter and clumsier 
shaped bands, as also by a much more pronounced spiniferous 
armature. 
Description. — The body is comparatively powerful 
and ^thickset in structure, and furnished, both on the dorsal 
and ventral surfaces, with scattered bunches of downy hair. 
As in the other species of the genus, the integuments 
are somewhat thin, nay in places quite membranaceous. 
The carapax (see fig. ' 8) has the usual somewhat 
cordiform shape. Its anterior portion is separated from the 
posterior by an arcuate, well-marked cervical sulcus, and 
exhibits in the middle the true gastric region, on either 
side of which is a small, imperfectly defined hepatic region, 
and far behind, immediately anterior to the cervical sulcus, 
on either side, a narrow, obliquely extending area — the 
so-called “ regio metagastrica.''’ The posterior portion of the 
carapax, more cutaneous than the anterior, is, behind, very 
considerably swollen, and in the middle emarginate, leaving 
the last segment of the cephalo-thorax uncovered. In the 
middle can be distinguished the narrow, linear cardiac 
region, and on either side the very strongly arched branchial 
regions, each divided above by an indistinct longitudinal 
i| sulcus into two compartments. 
The abdomen, or posterior division of the body, is 
somewhat less membranous than in most of the other species 
of the genus ; and the 3 anterior segments are on the dorsal 
surface indicated by distinct lines, as also beset with scattered 
fascicles of hair. As is commonly the case, it is asymmet- 
rical, and has the point somewhat spirally twisted to the 
right. 
The eyes are in form comparatively robust, and some- 
what shorter than the frontal margin, oblongo-clavate, with 
the extremity considerably expanded and evenly rounded 
off. The cornea exhibits above, in the middle, a deep 
emargination, and is furnished with a dark, brownish-black 
pigment. The basal lamellae have a somewhat irregular- 
triangled form, incised into the outer margin and beset 
with short bristles. 
The 1st pair of antennae, originating immediately be-
