Description.—Closely resembling S. dehaani, , from which it differs in the following characters:— The carapace, as a rule, is slightly wider in specimens of similar size. The inter-regional grooves on the posterior part of the carapace are rather less deep. The sides of the front are distinctly concave. The merus of the chelipeds has the anterior margin rather more expanded distally and more coarsely dentate

Sesarma dehaani, Milne-Edwards, male ; Hong Kong. Outer surface of left chela. tooth on the upper edge is blunt and indistinct. The inner angle of the carpus—which in S. dehaani is rounded or bluntly angled, with sometimes an apical granule—is produced as a small but distinct and acute tooth *. The palm is more inflated, especially in the male ; on its outer surface is au obscure row of granules about the middle; above this the granules are larger, becoming less prominent towards the upper margin ; below the middle the granules are smaller * A specimen collected by Major C. Christy, and received since this was written, has the carpal angle of one of the chelipeds blunt; in the other cheliped the angle forms an acute tooth as described Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Taylor and Francis, Ltd
