Hogg. — Some Neiv Zealand and Tasmanian Arachnidae.

The measurements in millimetres are as follows 



One specimen, from Stewart Island. 



In addition to the six species of Pantopsalis, all from New Zealand, 

 detailed by Mr. Pocock {loc. cit.), there is in the British Museum collection 

 a dried specimen from Tasmania, and broken parts of two more of the same, 

 apparently undescribed. This extends the range of the genus farther than 

 had been hitherto recorded.. The Tasmanian species is lighter in colour, 

 but not very different from the above. For the sake of comparison I append 

 the description. 



Pantopsalis tasmanica, nov. sp. 



Carapace and legs rather dark yellow-brown. 



The femoral, patellar, and tibial joints of the palpi yellow blotched 

 with grey, the distal joint pale yellow. 



The'^carapace and low eye-tubercle 

 are quite smooth, without spines or 

 granulation. 



The mandibles are long and thin, 

 the spinous tubercles thereon small 

 but thickly spread over the whole sur- 

 face of both joints. The first joint is 

 slightly thickened at each end. The 

 second, which is longer and stouter, 

 gradually thickens slightly from the 

 base to the anterior end. The point 

 of the movable finger crosses that of 

 the fixed one. The fingers are short, 

 with one large tooth in the middle of 

 each. 



The palpi are fine and smooth, and 

 shorter than the first joint of the 

 mandibles. The patella and tibia are of equal length, and the anterior 

 end of the former is just shghtly thickened.
