#39-30 Aug. 3, 1930. Male Upogebia operculata. 
Chelae closely reticulated with orange ochraceous so that they almost 
look perhaps orpiment orange or a cross between it and orange ochraceous (as 
I described female —orpiment orange in sort of half light before sunset Aug. 3») 
Lower surface of chelae whitish and only upper surface of carpi colored (as was 
case in female). Abdomen and whitish sides and part of carapace with faintest 
kind of suggestion of pea green. Round opercular portion of abdomen and legs 
dead,dull, almost plaster of paris white.

Fingers with less color than female seemed 
to have. (Lower finger looks sort of clay 
color.) Female, chelae are about as 
originally described, good dark orange that 
runs out onto fingers which are just as dark. Male fingers are much lighter
