Pubescence on surface of carapace chiefly in the shallow grooves marking the regions; the lateral and anterior margin of carapace, however, with thick fringe of plumose setae, especially noticeable on the rostrum. The 6th joint of 5th leg has 2 strong spines on outer surface of apex (not 3 as in Henderson's description). Length of carapace $ 7-5 mm., ovig. $ 6-5 mm. 36 ova, about 1 mm. in diameter. Locality.

A non-ovigerous ?, 14 X 14 mm., is more like Hilgendorf's figure of penta- gonalis in general outline, but the large antero-lateral tooth is truly marginal, and the median rostral tooth is only just visible in dorsal view as in his figure of tomentosa. The tooth behind the branchial groove is slightly less prominent than in the figure of the former species, and the supraorbital margin is less concave than in that of the latter species. Dorsal surface of carapace com- pletely covered with tomentum. Localities. Ibo (Hilgendorf); Inhambane. 1 $. () Distributi
