Atyia occidentalis.—V61ez, 1967, p. 42. Diagnosis.—Orbital margin unarmed. Kostrum witliout dorsal teeth, lateral lobes obtuse, ventral margin virtually unarmed. Ventral margin of pleuron of second abdominal somite unarmed, those of third through Jijth somites usually bearing row of small, sharp denticles. Eyes not reduced. Basal segment of antennular peduncle \vithout dorsal spines proximal to series bordering distal margin. Pereiopods witliout exopods. Fingers of chelae of first and second pereiopods. Figure 8.—Jtya innocous, male (carapace length mm) from Dominica station 46. bearing terminal tufts of long hair. Carpus of second pereiopod broader than long. Last three pereiopods bearing depressed horny scales. IVlerus of third pereiopod noticeably broader than that of fourth pereiopod, usually between and as broad as long. Ap- pendix masculina on second pleopod of male broad lobe bordered with slender curved spines. Body without distinct dark-colored trans- verse bands near anterior and posterior ends of abdomen. A moderately large species, maximum postorbital carapace length at least 34 mm. Color in life.—Two phases, green and brown. Brown Phase: Ground color of cephalothorax dark brown (brown- ish black chromatophores forming reticulate pattern over tan). Dorsum of carapace with dark brown longitudinal stripe extending from base of rostrum to posterior margin, becoming broader pos- teriorly. Stripe continuing onto abdomen but broken by very narrow.
