ANOMURAN COLLECTIONS MADE IN PORTO RICO.

are elongated, slender, and have more spines than the other species of the group. The spines are 
themselves characteristic, being thin and broad. The crest of the palm bears about ten of these spines. 
Station 6070, in 220 fathoms. 
This species is named for Dr. Barton Warren Evermann, the chief naturalist of the Fish Hawk 
expedition to Porto Rico.

The rostrum extends beyond the eyes about one-half of its length. The supraocular spines are 
a little divergent and extend beyond the eyes but little. Both the rostrum and these spines are 
roughened by sharp granules. The gastric region has normally seven spines, the large gastric pair, 
and a secondary pair of much smaller ones directly behind the first pair and the spine on the median 
line, and a paired spine near the hepatic region; sometimes the middle spine has one or more spines 
in line with and close to it. There is a paired spine on the branchial region behind the fork of the 
cervical suture, and a spine on the median line on the anterior margin of the cardiac region. The 
posterior margin of the carapace is armed with one pair of spines. 
The transverse lines of the carapace are crowded and broken; the granules with which these lines 
are set are very small and sharp; the cilia of the lines reach from line to line. 
All specimens examined (about twenty) have a patch of long, silky, iridescent hair on the side 
of the branchial region, where it is covered by the knee of the fifth pair of legs. This hair is, as far as 
I have been able to observe, altogether lacking in the related species. The prominent armature of the 
abdomen is the middle pair of spines on the second, third, and fourth segments, in connection with 
the spine on the median line near the posterior border of the fourth segment. Smaller spines occur 
on the sides of the armed segments.

The rostrum is longer and much more slender than that of M. affinis. The supraocular spines 
are a little divergent, without granulations, and extend a little beyond the cornea. The gastric region 
has six spines placed as in jlinti — two pairs in line directly behind the supraoculars and a paired spine 
near the hepatic area. The transverse lines of the carapace are well separated and bear rows of cilia, 
which occupy about one-half of the space between the ridges. The posterior margin of the carapace 
has two spines. Three segments of the abdomen are armed; the fourth segment, in all specimens 
from off Habana, lacks the median spine. A specimen from the west end of Cuba, which I can not 
separate from S. stimpsoni by the lines of the carapace, has both a spine on the middle gastric region 
and a median spine on the fourth abdominal segment; the rostrum is not as long as in the more 
typical specimens and is rougher. A number of specimens from that locality may show the specimen 
to belong to a distinct species. The chelipeds of the typical specimens are long; the hands broaden 
slightly from the wrist to the base of the fingers; under a lens twelve or more spines can be made out 
on crest of palm. The outer surface of the palm is set with sharp granules and is hairy.

The rostral spine is a little shorter than the lateral spines of the front; the eye-stalk is short and 
very much constricted, while the cornea is spreading. The gastric region has a pair of slender spines, 
as is usual in the genus. There are three spines just behind the cervical suture — one on the median 
line and one, a paired spine, near the middle of the side. There are three or four spines on the margin 
behind the suture and two on the posterior border. The second and third abdominal segments have 
each seven spines, and the fourth has two. The chelipeds and ambulatory legs are more than three 
times as long as the carapace from the posterior margin to the tip of the rostral spine. Legs spiny.
