Carpilodes monticulosus Alcock, Jour. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, LXVII, 1898, 86. 
Honolulu; Laysan. Laysan (Lenz). 
Carpilodes supernodosus, sp. nov. 
(PI. vm, fig. 5.) 
Carapace everywhere lobulated, the lobules high and for the most part long and sausage-like, 
smooth to naked eye, separated by broad deep smooth depressions. Under the lens the surface of the 
lobules is covered with fine close depressed granulation and irregular pits, some of which are very 
large. 
Protogastric lobule U-shaped; in front of the inner branch only is there an epigastric lobule. The 
hepatic and branchial lobules extending inward from the lateral lobes are long, irregular, and are 
incompletely subdivided near their outer ends. 6L is . distinct and is sub- 
divided by a transverse furrow; cardiac region flat; two grooves behind it. 
Lateral projections thick, rounded, well-markecl lobes, the first of the four 
confluent with the orbital lobule and with the subhepatic lobule. 
Chelipeds equal, upper margin of arm denticulate; wrist and upper sur- 
face of palm covered with irregular nodules; three longitudinal ridges on 
outer face of palm, the uppermost formed by a double row of nodules, the 
second one by a single row, the lower one simply crenulated and prolonged on 
the finger. Color of index continued a little on the palm. Fingers gaping. 
Carpal and propodal joints of legs strongly nodulous. 
Dimensions . — Length of male 11.8, width 20.2 mm. 
Distribution . — Laysan, May, 1902, one male type (Cat. No. 29424); vicinity of Laysan, 10 to 19 
fathoms, stations 3959 and 3960; vicinity of Modu.Manu, 27 to 31 fathoms, station 4171. 
Color. — A uniform yellowish brown or orange- red. 
This species is distinguished from all others by its high smooth nodules and broad interspaces. 
Liomera pubescens ( Milne Edwards) . 
Liomera pubescens A. Milne Edwards, Nouv. Arch. Mus. 
Hist. Nat. Paris, I, 1865, 223, pi. xii, figs. 6, 6a. 
Laysan; south coast of Molokai Island, station 3834. 
Color pink, with distant small white spots rimmed with 
deeper pink; hair yellow. 
Liomera prastexta, sp. nov. 
Not a typical Liomera, because possessed of a crest on the 
carapace and the carpal joints of the legs. 
Carapace of characteristic Liomera form, 1.8 times as broad 
as long, sparingly granulate; from each granule springs a tuft 
of long yellow hairs which nearly obscure the surface except 
along the fronto-orbital and antero-lateral borders which are 
bare and more finely and densely granulate. 
Front deflexed, with two lobes separated by a shallow emargination, from which a deep median 
furrow arises; lateral angles dentiform, fused with the orbital angles. 
Orbits transversely oblong, as in L. pubescens (Milne Edwards) ; the three outer fissures deeply 
marked. 
Antero-lateral border cristiform, cut into four lobes diminishing in size posteriorly, the first con- 
fluent with the orbital angle and twice as wide as the second; the third most prominent and twice as 
wide as the fourth. Lower surface of carapace granulate and in part hairy. Inner angle of basal 
antennal joint produced and applied along the inner side of the frontal tooth. 
Chelipeds equal, small, about l£ times as long as carapace. Upper distal portion of arm, entire 
outer surface of wrist and upper surface of palm granular and hairy. Upper margin of arm acute,
