158 E. ELLINGSEN ON 



curved forwards and nearly parallel-sided, not attenuated towards 

 the extremity. Tibia with a rather long stalk, a little shorter 

 and a little broader than femur, moderately robust, the outer 

 side evenly and moderately convex, in front considerably widened 

 from the stalk and strongly convex in the proximal part, in 

 the distal part nearly straight ; the tibia is only slightly 

 narrowed towards the extremity. Hand with a short stalk, with 

 obliquely rounded base, about as long as and considerably broader 

 than tibia, the outer side moderately and evenly convex, the 

 inner side somewhat more strongly so, on both sides passing 

 evenly and gradually into the fingers. Fingers moderately 

 robust, somewhat curved, a little longer than the hand or of 

 equal length, not gaping ; some " accessory teeth " are present. 



Mandibles. Galea of somewhat varying shape, in $ a little 

 more robust than in ^, differing little in form in the two sexes ; 

 it is generally divided at the extremity and provided with some 

 teeth along the inner side, but there may be a couple of teeth 

 only at the middle of the inner side. 



Legs. The outer side with clavate hairs ; on the inner side 

 the hairs are dentated and pointed. The femora of the two 

 posterior pairs of legs rather narrow, not much broader than 

 those of the two anterior pairs. Claws simple.

 Hand : long. 0'43 ; lat. 0*27. Fingers : long. 0*47 mm. 



This species has apparently a wide distribution in England and 

 Scotland. The types were found at Glanville's Wootton and 

 Sherborne (Dorsetshire). Later it was found by the Rev. R. 

 Godfrey in Scotland. I have seen specimens from Cudham and 

 Walnier (Kent), collected by Mr. Wallis Kew, under embedded 

 stones on wooded hill-sides, and from Crail (Fifeshire), taken by 

 the Rev. R. Godfrey under stones ; in Fifeshire it was plentiful 

 along the coast. Scottish specimens were inspected in 1902 by 

 Mr. Tullgren, of Stockholm, who recognised them as his Chelifer 

 n.sp. ? of 1899. 



Thanks to the Rev. O. P. Cambridge's kindness, I have been 

 able to compare the specimens with the type from Glanville's 

 Wootton.
