"LITHODES VERRUCOSA.
Carapax verrucose throughout, antero-lateral margin 12-15-dentate, beak short three-spinose, projecting but little beyond the extra‑orbital spine. Outer antennæ short, second joint superiorly much dilated, and with four or five spreading spiniform teeth. Feet all short and verrucose; carpus triangulately dilated at inner margin, and with six teeth which are a little hirsute, hands subtuberculate, fingers rough hairy; third, fourth, and fifth joints of following six legs dentate above, the teeth scabrous.
Plate 26, fig. 16, animal, natural size.
Fuegia.
Length of carapax of a male, one inch and seven lines; greatest breadth, one inch six and a half lines; right hand the larger, one inch long, and half an inch wide; carpus, half an inch long, and nearly eight lines wide to top of medial spine on inner margin. The warts of the surface are very unequal; but none are over a line in breadth; they have a crenulate border, or a subradiate appearance, as in the enlarged figure. The fingers, as usual in the genus, are excavate and have corneous tips. The abdomen is verrucose on the outer surface throughout like the carapax.
The granulosa of Hombron and Jacquinot, according to the figure, has the beak projecting scarcely at all beyond the extra-orbital angle; the carpus is oblong and triangulately dilated within, and the fingers are hardly hairy. They have as yet published no description.
