“Bernhardus Edwardsii (Edw.), Dana.
Callao, Peru; Chili.
This neat species has very unequal hands; the right broad and short, oval (opposite sides parallel), this with thin edges (the edges slightly carinated), and a smooth even surface, excepting a neat military granulation; the fingers are broad, and the extremity of the hand, the fingers being closed, is very regularly rounded. The carpus is narrower than the hand, and about three-fourths as long. Anterior region of the carapax subovate, slightly oblong, pointed at middle in front. Legs of second and third pairs very nearly naked. Colour of the legs in a dead specimen flesh-red. Length of body, about one inch”
