of the chelipeds are quite smooth, but the upper surface of the arm 
has an incomplete longitudinal line of beading. The ambulatory legs 
are long and particularly slender. 
In the Museum collection are specimens of males, ovigerous females 
and young, from the Andamans and from off Ceylon.

Lambrus deflexifrons, Miers, Aim. Mag. Nat. Hist., Yol. IV. 1879, p. 21, pi. v. 
fig. 5. Ceylon. 
This species, which is not represented in the Museum collection, 
is described as follows by Miers :— 
“ The carapace is strongly constricted behind the orbits, with the 
cardiac region very convex, and with an oblique but shallow sulcus on 
the branchial regions, and is covered with closely-set small tubercles; 
the antero-lateral margins are unarmed; but there are two larger 
tubercles or small spines on the postero-lateral margins. The rostrum 
is vertically deflexed, triangular, and granulated above. The basal 
antennal joint is very small; the epistoma is large; the sub-hepatic 
and pterygostomian regions are not channelled. The anterior legs have 
the arm rounded and tuberculate above, with small spines on its 
anterior margin; the wrist is tuberculate; the hand with a few 
tubercules on its upper surface, the anterior margin armed with about 
ten, and the posterior with four granulated spines. The under surface 
of arm, wrist, and hand is closely granulated. The ambulatory legs are 
smooth, and are not compressed and cristate as usual in the genus. 
The vertically deflexed rostrum and carapace, devoid of spines on 
its surface and anterior margins, and non-compressed ambulatory legs 
are characteristic of this species. It seems to be allied to L. gracilis , 
Dana, a species from the Fijis, in the form of the carapace and legs; 
but in that species the carapace has a spine on the cardiac and each 
branchial region, and elsewhere appears to be smooth.”
