the ischium to the propodite, have one or more of their edges conspi¬ 
cuously and sharply cristiform, this being specially well marked in the 
case of the long trigonal meropodite, which has all its edges sharply 
phalanged, and in the case of the equally long slightly inflated palm, 
which has razor-like edges. The fingers, which are not nearly half the 
length of the palm, are acute, and have their cutting edges entire. 
The 2nd-5th pairs of legs are slender, with cylindrical joints, the 
2nd are nearly or quite equal in length to the chelipeds, the 3rd-5th 
decrease gradually in size. 
In an adult female, equal in size to the male above described, the 
chelipeds are shorter than the 2nd pair of legs, and are similar in 
general proportions to the other legs.

The ova are large (diam. 1 millim.) and rather few in number. 
In young males the chelipeds are of proportions intermediate 
between those of the adult male and female.

Distinguished by the vertically erect ear-like hepatic spine, the 
base of which forms a great polished bulla on either side of the 
buccal frame, giving the animal, when viewed front end on, a bat-like 
appearance. 
The body and legs are downy, the legs being fringed with short 
broad curly hairs. 
The carapace, in which the cardiac region is broad and prominent 
and not, as in S. beauchampi , narrow and sunken, has, besides the hepatic 
spine already mentioned, the following marks :— 
On the branchial regions, below and anteriorly, a sharp sinuous 
human-ear-shaped crest; above and posteriorly a spine ; and near the 
middle line anteriorly an acumination. On the gastric region four faint
