MUne Edwards Plate 36, figs. 3 and 4; plate 217, figs. 2-5 Collodes obesus A. Milne Edwards, Crust. Reg. Max., 1878, p. 177; 1879, pi. 32, figs. 3-3d (type-locality, near Sombrero, Florida Strait, 54 fathoms; holotype in M. C. Diagnosis.—Carapace narrow, entirely covered with granules. Postorbital lobes large and turned outward, not forward. Description (after A. Milne Edwards).—Near trispinosus. Distinguished by the form of the carapace which is longer and narrower, but wider across the postorbital lobes. Surface entirely covered with large flattened granules. Postorbital lobes broadly triangular and turned directly outward, the anterior margin being quite transverse. Median spines as in trispinosus. Inner, lower crest of basal antcnnal article ornamented with three large spiuiform teeth; the outer edge bears three teeth followed by small granules. Chelipeds 5487—25t 9.
