fortsatserne temmelig forlængede samt skilte ved brede 

 Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er betydelig kortere end hos 

 N. longitarse, neppe Lengere end de 2 følgende Segmenter 

 tilsammeii. Halsen er vistnok tydeligt begrændset og stærkt 

 indknebet. men paa langt nær ikke af den enorme Længde 

 som hos hin Art. hvorimod Pandedelen er kjendelig større, 

 omtrent 3 Gange bredere end Halsen. 



Øieknnden ligger her neppe niere end dobbelt saa 

 langt fra Panderanden som fra Hovedsegmentets bagre 

 Rand. Den er noget ophoiet og synes, naar Dyret sees 

 fra Siden (Fig. 1 b). afrnndet i Spidsen. Seet forfra eller 

 bagfra (Fig. 1 c), viser den sig noget afsmalnende mod 

 Enden, der er tvært afkuttet, med Sidehjornerne nddragne 

 i Form af smaa tandformige Fremspring. Lindserne, der 

 har en noget elliptisk Form, ligger omtrent ved Midten 

 af Øieknudens Hoide. 



Snabelen (Fig. 1 a. 1 b) er stærkt forhenget, neppe 

 kortere end Hovedsegmentet, horisontalt fortilrettet og af 

 den sædvanlige cylindriske Form. 



Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er ualmindelig spinkle og svagt 

 byggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og omtrent af Sna- 

 belens Længde, Haanden adskilligt kortere, tæt haaret, og 

 meget smal, med forholdsvis kort Palm og stærkt forlæn- 

 gede Fingre. Disse sidste (Fig. 1 e), der er kjendelig 

 længere end Palmen, er særdeles smale og temmelig stærkt 

 krummede i sit ydre Parti, endende med meget tynde ind- 

 bøiede Spidser. Tænderne i Inderkanten er længere og 

 mindre tætstillede end hos de foregaaende Arter og omtrent 

 af ens Udseende paa begge Fingre. 



Følerne (Fig. 1 f) udmærker sig ligeledes ved sin spinkle 

 Form og er neppe kortere end Saxlemmerne. Af Leddene 

 er 2det og 3die omtrent af ens Længde, hvorimod de 2 

 ydre Led er meget ulige i Størrelse, idet, uligt hvad Til- 

 fældet er hos de fleste ovrige Arter, næstsidste Led her 

 er betydelig, næsten dobbelt saa langt som sidste. Begge 

 disse Led tilsammeii er noget længere end 3die Led. 



De falske Fødder hos Hannen ise Fig. 1 a) er noget 

 mindre stærkt forlængede end hos foregaaende Art, neppe 

 s\ uderlig længere end Legemet, og har 5te Led størst. 

 Dette Led er desuden udmærket ved Tilstedeværelsen langs 

 Inderkanten af en Eække eiendommelige knudeformige 

 Udvæxter, hver forsynet med en kort, ombøiet Borste. 

 Endedelen (Fig. 1 g) er noget kortere end ote Led og 

 har Iste Led temmelig bredt ved Basis og noget sammen- 

 trvkt fra Siderne samt tæt besat med korte stive Haar. 

 der ligeledes er fæstede til smaa knudeformige Fremspring. 

 Randtornerne paa de ydre Led (Fig. 1 li) forholder sig 

 noget ulige, idet de ved Enden af Leddene er grovt saug- 

 takkede i hele sin Længde, medens de paa Midten af Led- 

 dene er mere lancetdannede og har 2 Par smaa Tænder 

 ved Basis, de ovrige Saugtakker meget brede, pladefor- 

 mige. 



the lateral processes rather elongated and also séparated by 

 broad intervals The eephalic segment is considerably 

 shorter than in N. longitarse, scarcely longer than the 2 

 succeeding segments tåken together. The neck is indeed 

 distinctly defined and greatly constricted, though not nearlv 

 the prodigious length met with in that species, whereas 

 the frontal part is appreciably larger. about 3 times the 

 breadth of the neck. 



The oeuliferous bubercle in this animal lies hardly 

 more than twice as far from the frontal margin as from 

 the posterior edge of the eephalic segment, It is some- 

 what elevated and, when the animal is viewed laterally 

 (fig. 1 b), seems rounded at the point. Seen eitlier anter- 

 iorly or posteriorly (fig. 1 c). it appears tapering somewhat, 

 towards the end, which is transversely truncated with the 

 lateral corners produced as small dentiform projections. 

 The lenses are somewhat ellipfic in form. and are located 

 about midway up the tubercle. 



The proboscis isee fig. la, lb) is exeeedmglv elong- 

 ated, scarcely shorter than the eephalic segment, directed 

 horizontally forward, and of the usual cylindric fonn. 



The chelifori (ibid.) are uncommonly slim and feeble 

 in structure. The scape is slender cylindrical and about 

 same length as the proboscis, the hand a good deal shorter, 

 densely covered with hair and very narrow, with relatively 

 short paliu and greatly elongated fingers. The latter (fig. 

 1 e), which are appreciably longer than the palm. arr par- 

 ticularly slender, and rather sharply bent in the outer part, 

 terminating in very fine incurvate points. The teeth on 

 the inner edge are longer and less closely arranged than 

 in any of the preceding species, and are well-nigh similar 

 in appearance in both fingers. 



The palpi i fig. 1 f), likewise distinguished by their 

 slender form. are but very little. if at all. shorter than the 

 chelifori. Of the joints, the 2nd and ord are about equal 

 in length. whereas the 2 outer ones are verv unequal in 

 size, in so far. that the penultiniate joint, unlike whatis the 

 case in most of the other species. is, in this animal, con- 

 siderably. indeed almost twice as long as the terminal one. 

 Both these joints tåken together. are somewhat longer than 

 the 3rd. 



The false legs in the male i see fig. 1 a) are not 

 quite so prominently elongated as in the preceding species, 

 verv little. if at all. longer than the body, and have the 

 oth joint largest. This joint is. moreover. characterised by 

 the presence along the inner edge of a series of peculiar 

 tuberculiform excrescences, each of which is furnished with 

 a short recurvate bristle. The terminal part (fig. 1 g) is 

 somewhat shorter than the 5th joint, with the Ist joint 

 rather broad at the base and somewhat compressed from 

 the sides, and closely beset with short. stift' hairs. which 

 are also secured to small tuberculiform projections. The 

 marginal spines on the outer joints i fig. 1 h) vary some- 

 what in character, as those at the end of the joints are 

 coarsély serrate throughout the whole of their length. 

 whereas tims.' at the middle of the joints are more lance- 

 olate in form and have 2 pairs of small teeth at the base; 

 the rest of the denticles are very broad and lamellar.
