scorpiops. 67 



long, 5th twice as long as wide; intercarinal spaces granular; 

 keels strong and subdenticulate, the upper keels of segments 2-4 nut 

 posteriorly enlarged and spiniform ; vesicle finely granular, about 

 as wide as the 5th caudal segment. Chela granular; humerus 

 granular and granularly keeled above and below; upper side of 

 brachiuin granular, bounded in front by a granular keel ami 

 behind by a strong smooth or almost smooth keel; a similar 

 smooth crest running along the posterior surface, which is studded 

 with a few large granules ; anterior surface finely granular and 

 armed with a pair of small widely-separated tubercles : lower side 

 granular, bounded behind and in front by a granular crest, with 

 a row of 7 setal pores along its hind border ; hand thick, width 

 nearly as great as length of underhand, with very strong am', 

 smooth finger-keel dividing its upper surface into an outer sub- 

 vertical area and an inner horizontal area, both of them covered 

 with granules showing a tendency to run into ridges and form an 

 indistinct network ; the outer area furnished in addition with a 

 median smooth irregular subdivided crest ; no distinct granwlai crest 

 on the inner edge of the horizontal area ; inner surface granular ; 

 underhand more finely granular and bounded externally by a 

 smooth crest, furnished with a curved series of 3 large setal pores 

 and 2 smaller, one" between the 1st and '2nd, the other close to the 

 keel beyond the 2nd, also 2 large setal pores set transversely close 

 to the base of the linger; movable linger not lobate, scarcely 

 exceeding underhand. Pectinal teeth 5-6 ; much larger in male. 



J with tail, and especially chelae, much longer than in female. 

 Tail about four times as long as carapace. Chela elongate; 

 brachiuin longer than carapace ; width of hand distinctly less than 

 length of underhand; the movable linger frequently without a 

 lobe; when present, the lobe consists of a thick subtubercular 

 prominence situated just behind the middle of the finger but well 

 on the inner side of the median line of teeth; both movable and 

 immovable digits are then lightly sinuate along the biting-edge. 

 Pectinal teeth 5-6. 



Measurements in emu : — 



Lnc. Western Himalayas: Kashmir (Leach); Jaunsar, 6000- 

 9000 ft.; Dehra Dun, 2000 ft. (Gamble Sf Smythies); Kasauli 

 ( Waller-Barrow) ; Nepal ( Hardwicke). 



The measurements quoted above in the first and second lines 

 are taken from the type ( $ ) specimen and another ( tf ) example, 

 ticketed Nepal, from which Gervais drew up his description of the 

 species. The measurements in the last line, showing the size 

 to which the species inav attain, are taken from an example from 

 Jaunsar. The locality Nepal needs confirmation.
