Carpus and chela of sec- . . , . ond pair (X Sg). c. Left Chelipeds subequal, similar, of very moderate size; chela of first pair(x 2I). merus with rounded angles, the distal end widened, length about two and a half times breadth, outer surface with a broad oblique sulcus, a trans- verse groove at the supero-distal angle, behind which the upper margin ends abruptly, but does not terminate in a spine; surface granulate, lower surface granulo-spinulous. Carpus small, rounded. Hand narrow- oblong, somewhat compressed, finely scabrous, margins rounded, the length not more than one half greater than that of the preceding joints combined. Fingers fitting close together, the poUex narrowly conical and twice as wide at base as the dactylus, which is subcylindrical; the tips are sharp and cross each other; the prehensile edges are subentire, very finely denticulate, that of the pollex convex except at the tip. The first joint of the carpus of the second pair of feet is about as long as the three following combined; the third and fourth are equal, the second a little longer than either; the fifth twice as long as the fourth, and slighdy shorter than the p
