to a rounded point. The regions are elevated, and the median are 
separated from the branchial by deep furrows: all the regions are 
closely covered by rasp-like tubercles. 
The lateral borders are tubercular, and end posteriorly in a large 
spine directed outwards and somewhat backwards. 
Internal to this large spine is a much smaller spine; and the pos¬ 
terior border is tuberculate. 
The chelipeds are a little more than twice the length of the cara¬ 
pace, with the inner and outer borders serrated, and the upper surface 
covered with tubercles like those on the carapace : amid the serrations 
five large teeth on the outer border of the hand are very conspicuous. 
The ambulatory legs are slender and smooth. 
The epistome is sculptured, and is very deeply excavated in the 
middle line. 
The pterygostomian region is traversed by a canal running 
parallel with the buccal frame : the canal is perfectly smooth, and is 
closed below, and thus converted into a tube, by thick fringes of long 
hairs. 
I believe, with Ortmann, that this species is very probably identi¬ 
cal with L. pisoides, Adams and White (‘ Samarang ’ Crustacea, p. 28, pi. 
v. fig. 4), and perhaps with L. diacanthus de Haan (Faun. Japon. Crust., 
p. 92, pi. xxiii. fig. 1). 
It is a fairly common species at the Andamans and Nicobars.

Carapace with the outline in front of the huge lateral epibranchial 
spine almost semi-circular, the rostrum being extremely short and not 
breaking through the general outline. The carapace is granular, and 
has the regions well-defined but not elevated. 
The symmetrically rounded antero-lateral margin is regularly 
festooned with little round teeth of uniform size, and ends at a great 
projecting lateral epibranchial spine : behind and internal to this spine 
is another small spine : the posterior border is finely granular. The 
chelipeds, legs, and margins of the carapace are fringed with long 
hairs ; and the pterygostomian region is channelled just as in L. sculptus . 
The chelipeds in the male are a little more, and in the female a
