længere end det terminale Afsnit. Tarsalleddet forholdsvis 

 kort. Fodleddet derimod ualmindelig stort, næsten */, Gang 

 længere end Tarsalleddet og noget fortykket paa Midten, 

 Inderkanten bevæbnet med en tæt Rad af tynde Torner; 

 Endekloen omtrent halvt saa lang som Fodleddet. tem- 

 melig kraftig ; Bikløerne overordentlig smaa og rudimentære. 

 Legemets Længde 5 1 /,"""; Spandvidde 48""". 



Bemærkninger. Denne Art er især udmærket ved 

 Forholdet af det terminale Afsnit paa Gangfodderne og 

 navnlig ved Fodleddets stærke Udvikling, hvad der har 

 givet Anledning til Artsbenævnelsen. ' Ligeledes er den 

 rudimentære Beskaffenhed af Bikloerne særdeles charac- 

 teristisk. I sin almindelige Habitus viser den nogen Lighed 

 med de med N. grosszpes beslægtede Former, men synes 

 dog i visse anatomiske Character at slutte sig nærmere til 

 de 2 følgende Arter. 



Beskrivelse. Det eneste foreliggende Exemplar, der 

 synes at være en Hun. har en Længde af b 1 /*""", med en 

 Spandvidde af 48 m "'. Den hører saaledes til de middel- 

 store Arter. 



Legemets Form er (se Pl. X, Fig. 1), om ikke ual- 

 mindelig spinkel, saa dog kjendelig smækrere end hos fore- 

 gaaende Art, navnlig hvad de forskjellige Lemmer angaar. 

 Selve Kroppen (Fig. 1 a) er af sædvanligt Udseende, med 

 Sidefortsatserne temmelig lange og skilte ved tydelige, 

 skjondt ikke meget brede Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er 

 omtrent saa langt som de 3 følgende Segmenter tilsammen 

 og har en tydelig og temmelig smal Hals; Pandedeien er 

 kun ganske svagt udvidet og neppe bredere end Kroppen 

 paa Midten. 



Øieknuden (Fig. 1 b) er ikke meget ophoiet og viser, 

 forfra eller bagfra seet, 2 stærkt fremspringende Sidehjør- 

 ner, hvorved Enden faar Udseendet af at være noget ud- 

 randet i Midten. Lindserne er ikke meget store og ligger 

 noget nærmere Enden end Basis af Øieknuden. 



Snabelen (se Fig. 1 a) er af regelmæssig cylindrisk 

 Form og kjendelig kortere end Hovedsegmentet. 



Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er forholdsvis meget smaa og 

 svagt hyggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og mod Enden 

 temmelig tæt haaret. Haanden (Fig. 1 c) er betydelig 

 kortere end Skaftet og . ligeledes ualmindelig smal. samt 

 tæt haaret, navnlig ved Basis af Fingrene. Disse sidste 

 er omtrent af Palmens Længde og, som hos foregaaende 

 Art, forsynede i Inderkanten med smaa ensudviklede Tæn- 

 der, og med skarpe indkrummede Spidser. 



1 Denne er forsaavidt maaske noget uheldigt valgt, som man 

 nu ialmindelighed ved Haanden forstaar det ydre Parti af Saxlem- 

 merne. Jeg har imidlertid ikke troet at burde forandre den en 

 Gang foreslaaede Artsbetegnelse. 



as the body, 2nd tibial joint narrow linear in form, about two 

 and a half times as long as the terminal section, tarsal joint 

 eomparatively short, propodal joint, on the contrary, un- 

 commonly large, almost a half longer than the tarsal joint 

 and somewhat tumeficated in the middle, inner edge armed 

 with a dense series of thin spines, terminal claw about 

 half as long as the propodal joint, rather powerful; auxiliary 

 claws remarkahly small and rudimentary. Length of body 

 5V2"""; extent 48'™. 



Remarks. This species is especially distinguished by 

 the relations in the terminal part of the ambulatory legs, and, 

 in particular, by the great development of the propodal joint, 

 which has suggested the specific designation. 1 Moreover, 

 the rudimentary nature of the auxiliaiy claws is especially 

 characteristic. In its general habitus it exhibits some 

 resemblanee to the, with N. grossijKS related forms, but 

 seems, however. in certain anatomical characters, to have 

 more in common with the 2 following species. 



Description. The only specimen before me, ap- 

 parently a female, has a length of 5 1 //"", with an extent 

 of 48""". It belongs therefore to the middle-sized species. 



The body (see Pl. X. fig. 1), though not perhaps 

 exceptionally slender, is at least appreciably slimmer 

 than in the preceding species. more especially as regards 

 the different limbs. The trunk itself (fig. 1 a) has the 

 usual appearance, with the lateral processes rather long, 

 and separated by distinct, though not very wide inter- 

 vals. The cephalic segment is about as long as the 

 3 following segments tåken together. and has a distinct 

 aud rather narrow neck. The frontal part is but very 

 slightly expanded and hardly broader than the trunk in 

 the middle. 



The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 1 b) is not very elev- 

 ated. and exhibits, viewed anteriorly or posteriorly. 2 

 strongly projecting lateral corners, which gives to the 

 extremity the appearance of being somewhat emarginate 

 in the middle. The lenses are not very large and lie 

 somewhat nearer the extremity than the base of the 

 oculiferous tubercle. 



The proboscis (see fig. 1 a) is regular cylindric in 

 form and appreciably shorter than the cephalic segment. 



The chelifori (ibid.) are eomparatively very small 

 and feeble in structure. The scape is narrow-cylindric 

 and, towards the extremity, rather densely hirsute. The 

 hand (fig. 1 c) is considerahly shorter than the scape and 

 likewise exceedingly narrow. also densely hairy, especially 

 at the base of the fingers. The latter are about as 

 long as the palm, and. as in the preceding species, are 

 provided on the inner edge with small, uniformly developed 

 teeth, and with sharp incurvated points. 



1 Perhaps not the most appropriate one, the ,.hand" being now 

 generally tåken to signify the outer part of the chelifori. Meanwhile 

 I have not seen fit to change the specific appellation originally pro- 

 posed.
