. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. 408 BULLETIN 152, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM edge of front. This edge is divided into two sinuous granulate lobes, the outer angle of which forms a distinct but inconspicuous lobule; the front appears thick because it has a row of single granules a little above and behind the true edge. Supraorbital notches minute and not far apart. Outer orbital angle obtuse forming a low tooth scarcely distinguishable from the truncate second tooth of the lateral margin, which has a long, straight or slightly convex margin. Succeeding notches short and narrow, more or less V-shaped, the V often ending in a short linear fissure. Third and fourth teeth truncate, slightly convex, the third a trifle shorter than or sometimes subequal to, the fourth. Suborbital emargination of good size, lower margin of orbit a little convex or nearly straight, separated by a shallow V from the broad, low, triangular, inner tooth. Subhepatic tubercle as a rule very little developed. Chelipeds minutely granulate; no subdistal tooth on merus; surface of carpus covered with fine granulate rugae irregularly transverse, inner angle a very short blunt tooth. Palms crossed by transverse rugae em- phasized by intermediate rows of punctae larger than 'pANo^PEus~TRANs- ^^^ grauulcs. A strong tooth at base of major dactyl, VERSUS, MALE whlch forms a narrow gape with its opposing finger. larged^^after Both propodal fingers are nearly horizontal, their Benedict and color runs back a little on the palm, less in female RaTHBUN ,r • 1 than m male. Abdomen of male with third segment very little wider than second, somewhat rounded or a little angled at outer ends; sixth segment broader than long, terminal segment sub triangular, the tip broadly arcuate. Measurements.—Male (16214), length of carapace , width of same 17, fronto-orbital width 10, width of front mm. Variations.—Stimpson says of this species, "Surface not uneven near the antero-latera
