Goniocaphyra insequalis, sp. nov. 
(PI. xii, fig. 9.) 
Bears a strong resemblance to the type species of the genus G. truncatifrons de Man, of which 
there is a female specimen from Samoa in the U. S. National Museum. 
Carapace narrower; anterior and antero-lateral regions finely and evenly granulate, the coarse 
antero-lateral granules of the older species being absent. Side teeth similar in 
number and position; no denticle between first and second, the suborbital re- 
gion being very finely granulate. In front view the orbits diminish in height 
outwardly. 
Chelipeds much more unequal in the male than in the related species, the 
smaller one twice as long as the carapace is wide, the larger one about two and 
a quarter times as long. The borders of the inner surface of the arm are 
coarsely granulous, and are devoid of the spines of truncatifrons. The smaller 
chela of the male is similar to that in the last-named species, but the larger 
chela is very heavy, the fingers very short, being less than two-thirds as long 
as the palm. 
Male, length 7, width 10.6 mm.

This may be the “Neptunus diacanthus” recorded by Cano from Honolulu. 
Note on this species at Hilo, by H. W. Henshaw, July 26, 1898: “The common bay crab, num- 
oers of which are brought in every time the fishermen draw their nets. They look much like our 
Chesapeake crab, and the Kanakas catch them in the same manner — circular net, baited with a bit of 
meat or fish — as the crabs are caught along the Eastern Shore.”
