inner angle of wrist without a tooth, simply bluntly angular. Palms diminishing in width distally; 
a longitudinal row of granules just below the middle. Fingers long and slender, deeply grooved, 
narrowly gaping, terminal spoons shallow. 
Legs broad, fringed with long hair, especially on the upper margin ; posterior surface more or less 
granular and hairy. Merus joints with an acute upper edge with a row of sharp granules; carpus 
joints limbed above, the limb bare and continued on the following joint by a small lobe against which 
the carpal limb fits when the leg is straightened.

Distribution. — South coast of Molokai Island, 23 to 73 fathoms, stations 3847 and 3848; Auau Chan- 
nel, 21 to 65 fathoms, stations 3872, 3874, 3875, and 3876; vicinity of Laysan Island, 10 to 19 fathoms, 
station 3960; Penguin Bank, 27 to 29 fathoms, stations 4031 and 4033; northeast coast of Hawaii Island, 
50 to 62 fathoms, station 4055; vicinity of Modu Manu, 30 to 71 fathoms, stations 4149, 4159, and 4164. 
In the main points these specimens agree with de Man’s description and figure. The tubercles 
on the palm are, however, fewer and larger, including those on the crest, which are usually five or six 
in number. The large protuberance on the basal half of the index is broader and less protuberant, 
and resolvable usually into three smaller teeth not deeply separated. The 23 specimens examined 
agree in these particulars. The carapace of small specimens and also the propodites of the ambulatories 
are very much smoother than in the adult.

This species is very close to P. granulosa (Riippell). The carapace is a little narrower, but more 
oblong transversely, being relatively wider at the hepatic regions. The lobulation is much less strong, 
especially noticeable on the protogastric lobes; in P. granulosa these lobes are deeply divided; in large 
specimens of P. eydouxii there is a shallow longitudinal groove extending entirely across the lobes, but 
in small specimens the groove is incomplete posteriorly. The crest on the ambulatory legs is wider in 
P. eydouxii, occupying more than one-third the width of the leg; in P. granulosa less than a third. 
Among the immature specimens collected by A. Garrett is one with a little deeper lobulation that 
approaches P. granulosa.
