GALEOMDJ?. 



composed of hairs which are paler in colour, more numerous, longer 

 and sharper apically than in the male of the typical G. indicus. 



Loc, Madras (Jerdon) ; Secunderabad (Ricardo, type); Tinnevelly 

 (Barber), and Kanara (Bell). 



118. Galeodes nigripalpis, sp. n. 



6 . Colour as in G. agilis, but with legs darker, the distal end of 

 the femur, the patella, and tibia being infuscate; 1st leg with patella, 

 tibia, and tarsus infuscate. Flagellum of mandible shorter than in 

 the other species, its inferior (posterior) edge straight from base to 

 tip, upper edge of blade evenly convex, rather abruptly narrowed 

 to a point, the widest portion of the blade being about in the 

 middle ; one minor tooth on lower jaw. Palpi armed with spines 

 as in 67. agilis and other species, but the under surface of the tibia 

 not thickly studded with tubercles bearing stiff short bristles, but 

 nearly smooth with only a few tubercles bearing long setoe and 

 covered with short slender silky hairs ; palpi a little longer than 

 in G. agilis ; patella more than twice the width of the head, which is 

 half the length of the tibia and tarsus taken together. Tarsi of 

 2nd and 3rd legs armed with the normal 4 anterior spines, but with 

 only 2 postei'ior spines on tarsus of 2nd, 1 on the apical segment, 

 the others on the distal end of the basal segment ; tarsus of 4th 

 with apical segment unspined. Length of patella of 4th leg twice 

 the width of head; tibia longer than the width of the head by one- 

 fourth of its length. Malleoli large ; blade of the external malleolus 

 exceeding half the width of the head. 



Measurements in mm. — Total length 29, width of head 7*5, length 

 of palp 52, length of 1st leg 38, length of 4th leg 62, patella of palp 

 17, tibia of palp 15-5. 



Loc. Omara on the Mekran coast, Baluchistan (Toivnsend). 



119. Galeodes bacillifer, sp. n. 



§ . Allied to G. indicus, but a uniform pale yellow, the ocular 

 tubercle alone being black. Width of head a little more than half 

 the length of the patella of the palp. Mandibles with two bluntly 

 rounded minor teeth on the lower jaw, the posterior of them 

 separated by a widish space from the posterior major tooth, and 

 two behind the third tooth on the upper jaw. Palpi armed as in 

 G. indicus, the spines on the patella all long and setiform ; also 

 on the tibia long setiform spines alternate with shorter thinner 

 spines. Legs spined as in G. indicus, but the first tarsal segment 

 of 2nd and 3rd legs armed with a posterior basal spine ; tarsus of 

 4th armed with 4 pairs of spines ; the apical segment unspined. 



<S . Like the female in colour, and allied to the male of G. indicus. 

 Mandibles with flagellum and tooth-armature as in that species. 

 Palpi very long, patella two and a half times as long as the width 

 of the head, tibia and tarsus a little more than twice as long ; 

 patella of 4th leg also about two and a half times as long, tibia 

 nearly twice as long ; tibia of palp scantdy clothed beneath with 

 long, slender, cylindrical bristles as in G. indicus. Tarsi of 2nd
