udgaar nøiagtig fra Midten af de tilsvarende Segmenter. 

 Hovedsegmentet, der omtrent er saa langt som de 3 føl- 

 gende Segmenter tilsammen, er i sit bagre Parti temmelig 

 bredt, men indknibes umiddelbart foran de forreste Side- 

 fortsatser pludselig meget stærkt og skyder frem som en 

 smal cylindrisk Hals uti over Snabelens Basis. Til Enden 

 af dette cylindriske Parti af Hovedsegmentet er Saxlem- 

 merne fæstede, og umiddelbart bag dem hæver Øieknuden 

 sig i Veiret (se Fig. 2 b). Halsesegmentet (Fig. 2 L) er 

 ualmindelig stæi'kt forlænget, omtrent saa langt som de 2 

 foregaaende Segmenter tilsammen, og horizontalt stillet (se 

 Fig. 2 ln. Det er af næsten cylindrisk Form og stumpt 

 tilspidset i Enden, med en kort Børste til hver Side nær 

 Spidsen. 



Øieknuden (Fig. 2 c) er særdeles hoi. cylindrisk, og 

 viser sig. seet forfra (dier bagfra, at have til hver Side 

 nær Spidsen en fremspringende Vinkel. De 4 Corneæ lig- 

 ger nærmere Spidsen end Basis af Øieknuden, dog ikke 

 lige lioit. idet de 2 forreste og betydelig større Corneæ 

 ligger lavere end de 2 bagerste (se Fig. 2b). 



Snabelen udgaar her (se Fig. 2 b) tydeligt fraHoved- 

 segmentets ventrale Side og er noget skraat nedadrettet. 



Den er forholdsvis kort. neppe mere end '/. saa lang som 

 Legemet og af simpel cylindrisk Form. med Enden stumpt 

 afkuttet. 



Saxlemmerne (Fig. 2 d), der fra Enden af Hovedseg- 

 mentet ligesom hænger ud over Snabelen, er af temmelig 

 svag Bygning, omtrent af Snabelens Længde og besat med 

 fine Haar. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og kua lidet for- 

 tykket i Enden. Saxen er neppe halvt saa lang og meget 

 smal. med Fingrene omtrent af Palmens Længde og begge 

 gaaende ud i en sylskarp Spids. Den bevegelige Finger, 

 som her ligger oventil, er noget længere og mere buet end 

 den ubevægelige, der næsten er ganske lige. 



Af Følere er der ikke det mindste Spor at opdage. 



De falske Fødder hos Hannen (se Fig. 2 b, 2 f i er 

 temmelig spinkle og, lige udstrakte, næsten af Legemets 

 Længde. De bestaar af 6 vel begrændsede Led, hvoraf 

 det 3die er særdeles stærkt forlænget og tyndt, selv læn- 

 gere end begge de foregaaende Led tilsammen: det danner 

 med 2det Led en stærk knæformig Bøining og viser i 

 nogen Afstand fra Basis en utydelig Indknibning, der ved 

 første Øiekast let kan tåges for en virkelig Leddeling. De 

 3 sidste Led aftager hurtigt i Størrelse og er tilsammen 

 kortere end 3die; 4de Led gaar i Flugt med 3die. medens 

 de 2 yderste Led er med en stærk albueformig Bøining 

 slaaede op mod 4de. Begge disse sidste Led. men navnlig 

 det overordentlig lille, ovale Endeled, er besat med en bel 

 Del tilbagebøiede stive Børster, medens den ovrige Del af 

 af disse Lemmer kun er forsynet med simple korte Haar. 



Gangfodderne (se Fig. 2) er ikke af synderlig betyde- 

 lig Længde. heppe mere end dobbelt saa lange som Lege- 

 met, men af temmelig spinkel Form og besatte med spredte 



the 2 mesial pairs issue exactly from the middle of the cor- 

 responding segments. The cephalic segment, wbich is about 

 as long as the 3 following segments tåken together, is rather 

 broad in its posterior part. but immediately anterior to 

 the foremost of the lateral processes is abruptly constricted, 

 and projeets as a narrow cylindrica] neck over the base 

 of the proboscis. To the extremity of this cylindrieal part 

 of the cephalic segment the chelifori are attached, and imme- 

 diately behind them rises the oculiferous tubercle (see fig. 

 2 b). The caudal segment (fig. 2 1) is remarkably elongate, 

 about as long as the 2 preceding segments tåken together, 

 and horizontally plaeed (sec fig. 2 b). It is well-nigh cylin- 

 drie in form and obtusely acuminated at the extremity. 

 with a short bristle on each side near the point. 



The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 2 c) is exceedingly 

 protuberant, cylindric, and is seen to have, when viewed anteri- 

 orly pr posteriorly, on eaeh side. near the point. a project- 

 ing angle. The 4 corneæ he nearer the point than the 

 base of the oculiferous tubercle. although not on the same» 

 level, as the 2 foremost and considerabl] larger corneæ are 

 plaeed lower than the 2 hindmosl (see fig. 2b). 



The proboscis in this animal (see fig. 2 b) is distinctly 

 seen to issne from the ventral side of the cephalic segment, 

 and is directed somewhat dbliquely downward. It is compara- 

 tively short, hardly more than one-third as long as the 

 body, and of a plain. cylindrica] form. with the extremitj 

 obtusely truncated. 



The chelifori (fig. 2 d), which hang out. as it were, 

 over the proboscis from the extremity of the cephalic seg- 

 ment, are of rather feeble structure, about as long as the 

 proboscis, and beset with fine hairs. The scape is narrow 

 cylindric, and but slightly tnmificated at the extremity. 

 The chela measures hardly half the length, is very nar- 

 row. with the fingers about as long as the palm, and both 

 running to an awl-shaped point. The mobile finger, plaeed 

 in this animal above, is somewhat longer and more curved 

 than the immobile one. which is almost quite straight. 



Of palpi not a trace can be detected. 



The false legs in the male (see fig. 2 b, 2 t) are 

 rather slender, and, when fully extended, measure well-nigh 

 the length of the body. They consist (i well-defined joints, 

 of which the 3rd is espeeially elongated and thin, longer 

 even than both the preceding joints tåken together ; it forms 

 along with the 2nd joint a strong geniculate bend. and. 

 exhibits at sonte distance from the base an indistinct con- 

 striction. at the first glance easily mistaken for a true ar- 

 ticulation. The 3 last joints diminish rapidly in size. and. 

 tåken together. are shorter than the 3rd; the 4th joint 

 extends in line with the ord. whereas the 2 outermost 

 joints are. by a strong, elbow-shaped bend folded up 

 against the 4th. Both the latte]' joints, but in particular 

 the exceedingly small, oval, terminal joint, are beset with a 

 number of stift, recurved bristles, while the remaining part 

 of the limbs is furnished merely with plain, short hairs. 



The ambulatory legs (see fig. 2i do not attain anj 

 considerable length. measuring hardly more than double that 

 of the body, but are rather slender in form and beset with
