Major hand in Description.—Carapace suboval, convex in an antero-posterior direction, nearly flat in a transverse direction; anterior half rough with squamose granules; regions distinct. Front convex, having two lobes with granulate margins separated by a V-shaped sinus; outer angle of each lobe subrectangular. Second normal antero-lateral tooth of this genus suppressed, being completely united with the orbital tooth which is not prominent; three remaining teeth sharp- pointed, posterior one smallest. Outer fissure of orbit broad, V- shaped. Chelipeds heavy, very unequal, arm spinulous on upper edge; wrist covered with beadlike tuber- cles and with a deep anterior groove and an inner right angle tipped with a spinule; a second male with upper and about two-thirds of outer surface ornamented with bead tubercles; lower third and distal extremity smooth and shining; fingers broad, not gaping, brown with fight tips; dactylus with large basal tooth; color of immovable finger not running back on manus, but forming a fine with articulation of dactylus. Minor hand almost entirely covered with tubercles, which grow smaller toward distal and lower margins; upper margin with a longitudinal groove; fingers deeply grooved. Upper margin of ambulatory legs tuberculate or granulate. The females differ in having the whole outer surface of the major as well as the minor palm tuberculate. Measurements.—Male (24289), length of carapace , width of same , fronto-orbital width 4, width of front 2 mm. Color.—In alcohol, speckled with blue; larger patches of blue on anterior gastric and cardiac region. Range.—From Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Gulf of Mexico to Cape St. Koque, Brazil. Shallow water to 37 fathoms. Material examined.—See table, pages 452-453. MICROPANOPE URINATOR (A. Milne Edwards), new combina
