scoiipiops. 7 L 



the groove shallower, as long as the first three segments of the 

 tail or as the 3rd and 4th, very much longer than the 5th. Last 

 abdominal sternum with obsolete median keels. Tail very short 

 and slender, width of 1st segment less than that of humerus, con- 

 siderably less than three tin.es as long as the carapace, 2nd segment 

 about as wide as long, 4th one-third longer than wide, 5th about 

 three times as long as wide ; inferior keels of 1st and 2nd scarcely 

 granular; superior keels of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th posteriorly elevated 

 and strongly spiniform ; vesicle compressed, slightly higher than 

 wide, as wide as the 5th segment, without an annular constriction 

 at base of aculeus. Chelce and especially the hand lower, more 

 depressed than in S. petersii and the foregoing species ; the crests 

 strong and granular; brachials with two basal teeth, the inferior 

 frequently much the larger of the two; brachium shorter, under- 

 hand a little longer than carapace, the former furnished below with 

 about 15 pores, the hand with four, one of which is smaller than 

 the others ; hand narrow, its width barely two-thirds the length of 

 the underhand ; movable finger shorter than underhand and only 

 twice the length of the area between the upper keels of the hand, 

 lobate in the basal half, but not so strongly as in S. petersii. 

 Pectinal teeth 6-7.- 



cJ . With much longer chela; and a slightly longer tail than in 

 female. Tail about three times as long as the carapace, winch is 

 slightly shorter than the 4th and 5th segments, and barely as long 

 as the 5th and half the vesicle. Humerus a little longer than 

 carapace, brachium scarcely so long; underhand longer, sometimes 

 much longer and twice as long as width of hand ; movable digit as 

 long as carapace, more strongly lobate than in female. Pectinal 

 teeth 8. 



Measurements in iiim. — J. Total length 50, carapace 8*5, tail 

 23, underhand 9, width of hand 5. 



S . Total length 51, carapace !', tail 27, underhand II, width 

 of hand 5-2.

Subspecies satarensis, now 



$. Resembling the typical form in size and colour, hut very 

 much smoother, the carapace and terga being at most finch 

 granular, leaving the median keel and area of the posterior border 

 immediately behind it smooth ; in some cases the terga are finely 

 granulated only at the sides, smooth and punctured elsewhere. 

 The chela?, too, are much less coarsely granular both on the keels 

 and on the interearinal spaces; digits very slightly lobate. 



Sexual features of male much less developed than in typical 

 form ; humerus about as long as carapace, underhand only a 

 little longer and Less than twice the width of the hand. Brachial 

 pores 13-14.
