CHALLENGER' EXPEDITION. 87 The specimens before me seem to be quite distinct from all the other American species of Pinnotheres.From P. ostrewm they differ in the non-dilated penultimate joint of the first pair of ambulatory legs, and in the much shorter dactyli of the second ambulatory legs ; from P. maculatus in the form of the carapace and the much shorter dactyli of the fifth ambulatory legs; from P. Guérinit and P. hirtimanus, M.-Edwards, both from Cuba, in the non-spatulate dactyl of the outer maxillipedes ; and from the latter also in the non-ciliated inferior margins of the chele.P. margarita, Smith, from the Bay of Panama, is at once distinguished by its pubescent carapace and legs; P. lithodomi, Smith, from the same locality, by the form of the merus joint of the outer maxillipedes and the proportionate length of the dactyli of the ambulatory legs.Mo.ruusca oF
