Loc. Between Quetta and Kandahar {Godwin- Austin) ; Omara 

 on the Mekrau coast, 130 miles W. of Karachi (Townsend). 



116. Galeodes macmahoni, sp. n. 



2 . Closely resembling the female of G. a f (/Junius in colour, but 

 much yellower, the head only lightly iufuscate in front ; mandibles 

 scarcely visibly banded above ; femur of palp uniformly yellow - T 

 legs also uniformly yellow, only the femur of the 4th lightly infus- 

 cate distally. Mandibles with only two minor teeth on lower jaw as 

 in G.fatalis, but with two behind the 3rd tooth of the upper jaw as 

 in G. afghanus ; the posterior of the two, however, is much smaller 

 than in that species and tuberculiform. Palpi longer than in 

 G. afghanus ; the width of the head about two-thirds the length of 

 the tibia, and much less than two-thirds that of the patella ; spines 

 on patella of palp all long and slender, considerably exceeding the 

 height of the segment and only a little thicker at the base than 

 the bristles ; the six pairs of spines on the tibia much thinner 

 than in G. fatalis and G. afghanus and a little longer than in the 

 latter, the bristles that project between them long and slender 

 at the base, much as in G.fatalis. Spine-armature of tarsi and 

 hairy clothing on under side of these segments as in G.fatalis. 

 External malleolus with blade a little exceeding the ocular 

 tubercle. 



3 . Resembling the female in colour, and like the males of G. agilis 

 and orientalis in spine-armature of legs and palpi and dentition of 

 mandible. At once recognizable from the latter by the colour of the 

 palpi. Plagellum with the blade narrower and longer in proportion 

 to its width than in G. agilis. Legs and palpi longer than in the 

 latter, the patella of the palp being a little more than twice the 

 width of the head-plate, and the tibia and tarsus taken together 

 are also a little more, whereas in G. orientalis and Q. a</i/is the width 

 of the head is always more than half the length of these segments. 

 Again, the patella of the 4th leg is twice and the tibia nearly twice 

 the width of the head. Spines on under side of tibia of palp less 

 cylindrical than in G. agilis and G. orientalis, raesially incrassate, 

 then narrowed basally and apically. Spines composing pad on 4th 

 tarsus shorter, thicker, and more abruptly acuminate than in 

 G. orientalis and G. agilis. Blade of external malleolus as large as- 

 in G. agilis.
