Dimensions.— Female, length of carapace 32.3, entire length of abdomen 38 mm. 
Type locality. — Vicinity of Niihau Island, 735 to 865 fathoms, station 4174; 1 female (Cat. No. 30323). 
This species has the form of P. granulatus Faxon, but the dorsal surface is much rougher, the 
carapace more convex, its side margins more finely and obscurely cut, abdominal carinse, except the . ! 
seventh, nonprojecting, antennal scale rounded at tip instead of pointed. 
Eryoneicus indicus hawaiiensis, subsp. nov. 
The differences between this specimen and E. indicus Alcock and Anderson «.seem scarcely worthy I 
of specific separation. On the posterior branch of the cervical ridge near its bifurcation there are two 
transversely placed spinules. 0n the left side the outer of these spinules is double. The longitudinal ' 
dorsal branchial ridge extends farther forward than in Alcock’ s figure, and is armed with numerous j 
ill-defined spinules, except the posterior, which is a good sized spine. On the lower of the two ridges 
below the lateral carina there are about twelve spines of fair size. The second to fourth abdominal j 
terga have each three median spines, of which the middle one is the largest; the fifth and seventh 
terga have two median spines. 
Color . — Light or bleached poppy red shading to pale madder pink on inside of chelae. 
Vicinity of Kauai Island, 577 to 480 fathoms, station 4005; one female 41 mm. long. (Cat. No. 1

Notes on the type specimen. — Length of carapace to orbit (rostrum broken off), 42.2 min.; abdomen j 
about 99.5 mm. Six median spines behind orbit; anterior one broken off and was probably the ; 
smallest; posterior one behind cervical suture. Four spines in next row, and outside the anterior of . 
these and close to it, another spine. ' Posterior spine of the lateral row a little behind antepenult spine 
of the median row. No color marks remain. Telson a little longer than its basal width. Abdomi- jj 
nal segments with a few low squamose tubercles, from which hairs have arisen. Antennal scale more Jj 
elongate than represented in the figure by A. Milne Edwards, the postero-internal margin shorter. [j 
Left chela distinctly larger than right, 52.6 mm. long, 18 wide, dactyl 26 long; right chela 45.7 mm. 
long, -15.5 wide, dactyl 22.6 long. Arm and wrist substantially as shown by A. Milne Edwards; about ij 
eight or nine spines on upper surface of arm arranged in a double row; a single row of spines on each 
of the lower margins; in addition, two spines on distal margin of outer surface. Wrist irregularly i| 
spined around the distal margin; a few spines scattered on upper surface. Tubercles of palm larger 
through the middle of upper and lower surfaces, but all the tubercles smaller than in A. Milne 
Edwards’s figure. Upper surface of palm covered with fine short pubescence except for a narrow 
strip through the center which is almost bare; lower surface less pubescent. 
In size and general appearence our specimen agrees with A. Milne Edwards’s figure; it measures 
13.8 mm. in length. Of the five median spines, one is behind the cervical suture; the posterior of the
