BRACHYURA AND MACRURA OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
843 
Carpilodes coccineus, sp. nov. 
(PL viii, fig. 4.) 
Surface covered, except in the grooves, with crowded crisp granules visible to the naked eye. 
Carapace deeply lobulated everywhere. The groove defining the posterior lateral lobe continued to 
the cardiac region. As in C. pediger, the gastric region is divided into four longitudinal lobules and four 
small anterior lobules, while a shallow transverse furrow cuts off a narrow piece from the posterior 
extremity of the mesogastric lobule. 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, and 6L (of Dana) are separated from one 
another, although 1L, 3L, and 4L are fused with the corresponding marginal lobes; there is no division 
between 1R and 2R, while 3R is separate. 2L and 4L have each a dimple on their antero-lateral 
portion. A broad transverse furrow behind the cardiac region and a narrow one above the posterior 
margin. 
Antero-lateral lobes well marked, the posterior one acutely conical and in young specimens the 
one next to the last also. 
Chelipeds nearly equal, granular like the carapace; two teeth at inner angle of wrist; outer surface 
of palm with an obscure ridge through the middle and a groove near the upper margin. Fingers 
slightly gaping. In the old male the gape is less, and the black color of the pollex runs well back on 
the palm inside and out, but the black of the dactylus does not cover the upper part of the base; tips 
of fingers light. 
Legs granular; carpal joints faintly bilobed. 
Color . — “ Deep dull crimson lake” all over except the fingers. Color persisting in alcohol. 
Dimensions . — Male type, length 13.9, width 23.4 mm. 
Distribution . — South coast of Molokai Island, 23 to 73 fathoms, stations 3847 and 3848; Auau 
Channel, 28 to 65 fathoms, stations 3875 and 3876; Penguin Bank, 28 to 14 fathoms, station 4034, 1 male 
type (Cat. No. 29422); Hawaiian Islands, A. Garrett, April 25, 1860, in Museum of Comparative 
Zoology. There is also a male from Mauritius in the U. S. National Museum. 
This species comes nearest to C. pediger Alcock and C. cariosus Alcock. From the former it is 
distinguished by the coarser granulation, the two teeth on the wrist, the absence of the strong tooth 
from the base of the movable finger, and by the color; from the latter by the lack of nodules on the 
chelipeds and legs, by the presence of the small antero-lateral gastric lobule, and by the color. 
Carpilodes virgatus, sp. nov. 
(PI. viii, fig. 3.) 
Much like the preceding, C. coccineus , but flatter; granulation fine, invisible to the naked eye and 
occupying the grooves as well as the lobules; groove dividing the protogastric lobules not continued 
back to the mesogastric area; 2L wider; 2L and 4L not dimpled; antero-lateral lobes less conical, more 
obtusely pointed. 
Surface of chelipeds rougher, the granules on the hand arranged in a reticulating pattern with 
smooth intervals. Fingers moderately gaping; dark color of the pollex in the male extending back 
on the palm for two-thirds its length and height. Carpal and propodal joints of legs wider, the 
former more deeply bilobed than in C. coccineus. 
Color, bright scarlet, persisting in alcohol, with some small spots of buff which are larger and 
more confluent on the posterior portion. The legs have about six bands of buff, that on the middle of 
the merus-joint more or less incomplete or altogether wanting. 
Dimensions . — Male type, length 10.8, width 18.4 mm. 
Distribution . — South coast of Molokai Island, 23 to 24 fathoms, station 3847; Auau Channel, 13 to 
43 fathoms, stations 3871, 3873, and 3876 (type locality); vicinity of Kauai Island, 68 to 179 fathoms, 
station 4128. Cat. No. of type, 29432. 
Carpilodes vaillantianus (A. Milne Edwards). 
Carpilodes vaillantianus Alcock, Jour. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, LXVII, 1898, 85, and synonymy. 
Honolulu; reef in front of Honolulu; Laysan. Hawaiian Islands, A. Garrett, 1 female in Museum 
of Comparative Zoology. Hawaiian Islands, W. H. Pease, 2 males in Philadelphia Academy of 
Natural Sciences. 
Color, yellow or greenish yellow; fingers light brown with white tips
