narrow lobe-bearing end, and in the dactylus 
of the third legs which has marked superior 
serrations and no trace of inferior teeth. 
This species is also related to C. staphylinus 
(Coutite). From the short description and 
plates of Coutiere (1921: 418, pi. 62, fig. 13; 
note that this later description is exactly the 
same as the original description [1908: 14] and 
in addition has figures of the specimen) only 
small differences appear. The frontal region 
of the carapace is straighter and the orbital 
teeth are shorter in C. staphylinus\ the large 
chela may be different although with the in- 
adequate description and the drawing of the 
poorly rotated chela, it is difficult to tell; the 
small chela is more slender; and, most im- 
portant, the dactylus of the third leg is longer 
and without the superior notches which are 
found in this species. 
DISTRIBUTION: In addition to the type loca- 
tion given above, the species has been col- 
lected as follows:
