Figure 49.—Troglocarcinus corallicola ; a, dorsal view, x about 4 times, of a ? removed from its den in a coral (Mussa), from Dominical.; b, a smaller 2 specimen, x about 4 times, ventral view ; the abdomen, legs, outer max- illipeds, and anteunules are removed, except one basal antennular segment; c, the same, another 2 example ; dorsal view, x 4.
