ciently well described to enable us to ascertain that it fits my 

 spécimens exactly. Thus, the processus axiliarisis described 

 as follows « einen doppelt gespalteten Hôcker an der Wurzel 

 seiner (d. h. des gekriimmten Zalins i. e. processus femoralis) 

 concaver Flâche. The expression « doppelt gegabelt » tells 

 exactly the shapeof the processus axillaris. Further, «einen 

 etwas kleineren Zahn trâgt das dritte und einen etwas noch 

 kleineren das vierte Glied an seiner inneren Seite « gives the 

 exact place and relative size of the processus genualis and 

 tibialis of my spécimens. The expression « das Tarsenglied 

 dièses Fusspaares ist lang und S-f ôrmig gekrûmmt » is mislea- 

 ding. An examination of W's figure shows that lie includes the 

 feet in the tarsi. The feet point upwards, and the tarsus is 

 bent downwards, hence the expression « S-f ôrming gekriimmt ». 

 The direction of the feet varies, as they are moveable, but the 

 fact remains that the tarsus is bent downwards in the middle, 

 a feature which it shares with that of my spécimens. 



Consequently, the shape of the second pair of legs in G. niveus 

 Wankel, and my spécimens, is exactly the same in ail détails 

 as far as W's description and drawings go. And as there is 

 nothing in W'sdescriptions which argues against their being 

 identified, and as yet there is no évidence that in two diffé- 

 rent species the shape of legs II can be the same, I unhesita- 

 tingly identify the species described below with G. niveus 

 Wankel. 



Maie. Length : 1530. Width : 720. 



Female. Length : 1700. Width : 850. 



Mâle 



Thecolourof the maie is straw-yellow. The texture, as 

 usual, scaly. 



Dorsal side. The shoulder liairs are longer than the other, 

 and finely pointed ; the hairs of the posterior dorsal shield 

 are thicker than those of the anterior shield. 



Gnathosoma. The epistoma (fig. 26) is tricuspidate ; the
