Diagnosis.—Carapace subquadrate, about nine-tenths as long in midline as wide, moderately convex longitudinally and trans- versely, striate laterally, obscurely granulate anteriorly; lateral margins converging very slightly anteriorly, wdthout tooth posterior to outer orbital angle, fronto-orbital distance nearly equaling max- imum width of carapace; front abruptly deflexed at postfrontal lobes,. Figure 59.—Sesarma {Holometopus) miersii, male paratype (carapace length mm) from Great Abaco I. {Albatross). slightly more than half as wide as carapace, margin with shallow median sinus in dorsal view. Eyes well developed, cornea slightly wider than eyestalk. True ventral margin of orbit largely replaced by faintly sinuous granulate ridge accentuated posteriorly by rather deep groove, mesial end of ridge not curving to anterolateral angle of mouth area. Third maxillipeds A^th oblique hairy ridge on merus, gaping widely, exposing mandibles. Chehpeds subequal, carpus un-.
