. Bulletin of the Natural History Museum Zoology. DIOGENES OF SINGAPORE AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 41 margin denticulate over entire length. Dorsal margin of branchio- stegite denticulate anteriorly and with 3 or 4 distinct spines posteriorly. Ocular peduncles approximately shield length, moderately slender. Ocular acicles spinose along entire terminal margin. Inter- calary rostrifonn process slightly overreaching tips of acicular spines; with 2-5 spines on lateral margins in distal two-thirds and terminal spine. Antennular and antennal peduncles approximately equal in length, both overreaching ocular peduncles. Antennal acicle weakly produced mesially, not distinctly forked, anterior margin concave and spinulose or spinose. Left cheliped (Fig. 12a) with upper margin of dactyl armed with row of closely-spaced spinulose tubercles flanked on either side by row of smaller tubercles; palm with 2 rows of moderately small tuberculate spines on upper margin, proximal margin with row of large blunt or spinulose tubercles; outer surfaces of dactyl, palm and fixed finger all with blunt or acute tubercles, strongest in upper half of palm, lower half of palm flattened, lower margin of palm and fixed finger straight; carpus with double row of spines on upper margin, outer face with irregular row of spines, strongest distally; inner faces of palm and carpus tuberculate. Right cheliped with spinulose upper margin of dactyl partially obscured by long setae; upper margin of palm with irregular row of small spines, outer surface granular or weakly tuberculate; carpus with row of strong spines on dorsal margin and row of smaller spines centrally on outer surface. Ambulatory legs with dorsal margins of dactyls each with double row of small spines, mesial faces (Fig. 8c) each with longitu- dinal row of small spines partially obscured by row of long setae: propodi, carpi and meri each with double or triple rows of spines or spinules on dorsal margins, lateral faces of propodi. carpi an
