We have not given the latér synonymy of this crab, which probably does not occur in New Zealand. The record is one of those depending on Miers, and has been questioned by Hutton and struck off in his MS. We have seen nothing like it in collections of New Zealand Crustacea.

Locality.—N.Z. (Miers).

Not N.Z.? (Hutton).

Distribution.—Australia, Tasmania.
