Red Sea; Djibouti. Gurney (loc. cit., pp. 89, 91) considers sibogae from the East Indies synonymous with Fam. Alpheidae Alpheus bullatus n. sp. Fig. 22. 1950. Barnard, loc. cit, p. 742 (banded species from St. Lucia Bay). Rostrum extending to end of 1st peduncular joint of ant. 1, not strongly keeled, similar to that of crassimanus. Supraorbital spines present. Basal process of ant. 1 reaching to (or a trifle beyond) apex of 1st peduncular joint. Basal joint of ant. 2 with ventral (external) spine; blade of antennal scale reaching halfway along spine, which does not quite reach end of last peduncular joint of ant. 2. First leg: margins of 4th joint entire, upper apex blunt; large chela $ (right) about twice as long as broad, outer half of upper surface with rounded granules, more or less in transverse rows, inner half with smaller granules and punctae; lower sur- face with scattered large punctae; finger knob-like, apex truncate; small chela <J, a short denticle at upper apex of 5th joint, a short blunt tooth on upper surface of palm at base of finger, outer half of upper surface with rounded granules, inner half with punctae, lower surface with a few large punctae, finger subequal to palm. Both chelae in $ similar to, and almost as robust as in <$; the large chela on the left side. Third and fourth legs, 4th joint 3 times as long as broad, lower margin with spaced groups of 2-3 setules, no tooth at lower apex; 6th joint of 3rd leg with 7, of 4th leg with 5 stout spines. Fifth leg more slender than 3rd and 4th. Dactyls of 3rd~5th legs biunguiculate. Telson not strongly narrowed distally; with median groove between well- marked ridges on which are inserted 2 pairs of strong spines. Length J 22 mm., $ 27 mm.
