THE SPIDER CRABS OF AMERICA 181. —PUGETTIA VENETIAE, FEMALE (50268), MAXILLIPED, X the minor hepatic spine is a little below the level of the major one, and is straight. Postorbital spine a little behind the eye, slender, similar to the two large lateral spines, but not so long-pointed. Preorbital spine also large, directed forward; in front of it, is visible the antennal spine. Rostrum deeply divided by a wide sinus: outer mar- gins of horns subparallel. The basal antennal article has, besides the antero-external spine, one further back on the outer margin, while in the same line but behind the orbit there is another small spine. A small subhepatic spine; also a row on the subbranchial and on the pterygosto- mian region. Chelipeds of adult male about as long as carapace. Ischium spined on inner margin; merus on inner, up- per and inner-lower margins, 4 of the upper spines being the longest of all; the carpus has 2 spines on inner mar- ^"^• gin, a row of four on outer margin, and a few spines above and below; a few spinules on upper surface of palm at proximal end. Upper and lower margins of palm slightly convex; dactylus nearly as long as upper margin of palm; fingers narrow, deflexed, toothed within, a very narrow gape at base where the teeth are smaller. Ambulatory legs subcylindrical, slender; propodites thickest at distal end; dactyls with tv\'o rows of sharp, prehensile spinules, and a long, light-horn-colored tip.
