$ . Allied to V. mexicanus (typical form), but distinguishable by the following features:— Colour 





varieg 



black and yellow, terga with four black longitudinal bands ; sterna spotted with black ; maxillary processes 

 of first and second legs infuscate ; lower side of tail and vesicle spotted with black, sides of segments 

 largely black on the posterior half; chelae yellowish-brown with black mottling, hand black at base of 



Trunk granular above, as in V. mexicanus. 



fingers; legs mostly black, with yellow lines and spots 





Tail shorter and thicker than in that species, abont four times as long as the carapace, which is as long 

 as its fifth segment ; third segment much wider than long, fourth almost as wide as long, fifth about 

 two-thirds as wide as long; dorsal, lateral, and inferior intercarinal spaces thickly and rather coarsely 

 granular ; vesicle granular throughout below. Chelce as in V. mexicanus, but the hand thicker and fingers 

 shorter, the width of the hand about two-thirds the length of the movable finger. Pectinal teeth 15. 

 Measurements in mm. — Total length 33, carapace 4, tail 17.

Belonging to the same category of species as V. mexicanus and V. granulatus, and approaching the latter in 

 colour, the upperside of the trunk being densely marbled with black and reddish-brown ; the tergites with 

 a median, triangular, reddish patch, a >-shaped mark of the same colour, a submarginal yellow stripe, and 

 a clear yellowish-red spot on each side of the middle line, the intervening black areas forming four black.

bands on the upperside of the trunk ; tail coloured much as in V. granulatus, with a broad black stripe 

 on each side of the middle line of the upperside of the segments, the two stripes sometimes meeting

mesially ; ventral surface of trunk, including the coxae and pectines, thickly clouded with black ; legs 

 marbled from trochanter to tarsus ; chela? also marbled, hands lined with black, fingers indistinctly 

 mottled. Trunk granular above, much as in V. mexicanus. Tail thin and short, about four times as long 

 as carapace, which is longer than the first and second segments and as long as the fifth ; third segment 

 bout as wide as long, tifth about twice as long as wide ; lateral and inferior intercarinal spaces very 

 finely and closely granular or coriaceous, also furnished with a few larger granules ; vesicle granular 

 below. Chelce with crests much weaker and less coarsely granular than in V. mexicanus-, the hand 

 smooth, neither crested nor granular, narrower than in V. mexicanus, only a little wider than the 

 brachium, its width barely half the length of the movable finger. Pectinal teeth 11-12. 

 Measurements in mm. — Total length 25, tail 13, carapace 3.
