Book Description

Excerpt from Arctic Crustacea: Bruce Collection In first establishing the species Kroyer assigned to it two distinctive characters, the long soft hairs clothing the chelipeds and the form of the left hand, which, however, he left un described. In the same year he gave another characterization as follows Dorsal surface of the cephalothorax and the legs densely beset with yellow sets}, and a strong dentate carina of the right hand extending from the base of the finger to the outer carina of the wrist. This was followed by a comparison or contrast instituted between the new species and Pagurus bcrnlzardus. No mention at all is made of the left hand but Brandt is no doubt right in supposing that Krfiyer by a slip of the pen wrote dextrae in lace of sinistrae.
