Note.—Great spider-crab (Paramicippa grandis), n.s.: This genus was founded by Professor Milne-Edwards in 1834 (Hist. Nat. Crust., i., p. 332). One species is mentioned by Miers (Cat. N.Z. Crust., 1876) as P. spinosa, but is of small size (¾in. in length), and differs in the form of the carapace and rostrum. This species has been figured by Dr. Filhol in the “Zoology of the Campbell Islands” under the name of Prionorhynchus edwardsii.
