The “ wrinkling ” on the chelipedes in the male tends to the formation of deepish wide-mouthed pits on the carpus and to a slight degree on the upper margin of the hand. In the female the two lobes of the front are much more prominent near the middle line than at the sides, giving it a cupid’s-bow-shaped appearance; the grooves, too, on the sides of the carapace are more marked than in the male.

Kelantan. One male. This single individual agrees entirely with the descriptions cited, so far as they go. The tubercles on the middle regions of the carapace are smooth and rounded, on the sides and front they become conical: those on the outer faces of the wrists and hands are rounded, but larger than those on the middle regions of the carapace, and pointed tubercles are present on the upper borders of the carpus and propodus of the walking-legs. The pterygo- stomian regions are covered with rather fiattened granules and are deeply grooved, the grooves being continuous with those between the ill-defined lateral teeth; these latter are four in number, bf [8]
