[[No 2, 
male are about one-sixth, in the female about one-eighth, the rest of 
the carapace in length. The eyes and orbits are just as in M. squinado 
(with specimens of which this species has been compared), only the 
cornea is relatively very much larger, and almost entirely ventral, in 
the present species, and the spine between the spine of the pre-orbital- 
hood and the post-orbital spine is nearly as large as either of these. 
The antennae are in all respects as in M. squinado , except that 
the basal joint is slightly narrower. 
The appendages are just as in M. squinado —the legs being short 
and hairy and the chelipeds smooth and polished — with the single 
difference that the chelipeds are only as long as, and are much slender¬ 
er than the fifth pair of legs, and are therefore very much shorter than 
the second pair, which hardly exceed the carapace and rostrum in 
length.

Carapace pyriform, convex, with the regions indistinct; armed 
with some very large acute spines. The rostrum consists of two long- 
slender divergent horns. The basal antennal joint is just as in Maia , 
but the mobile portion of the antenna has no connexion with the orbit. 
The eyes and orbits are as in Maia , but the supra-ocular hood has its 
anterior angle as well as its posterior angle produced into a spine. 
The external maxillipeds are as in Maia , as are also the ambulatory
