Hab. In Brasilia, {v. in M*». Brit, <■/ 1). Hujie.) 



Cephalic segment cordate; basilar Kgmenl large; mandibular tooth targe, with ■ ndnuu 



tubercle near its apex; labium smooth, sutures distinct; dental plates lai 

 punctured, subquadrate, a little elongated posteriorly : 



with the three internal ones on each -idc appro < rior pair o4 legl -hurt, 



with the basilar joint thick, and subeonvex on its supen . with 



six or seven spinuke arranged irregularly on the internal i J superi- 



the posterior or apical one large and acute. Internal surface t ith one 



spine; inferior surface with live or six small spines arranged in time longitudinal, 

 nating series, two in each series. Lateral anal appendage! red, short, with the 

 bifid or subacute. Prcanal scale four-sided, elongate, with the posterior margin straight. 



This is a very marked and beautiful species, bal is subject to much varia- 

 tion in regard to colour. It very much resembles S. ixiriegata, but dtfl 

 from it in the legs being much thicker, and in the spines on their upper 

 surface being irregularly distributed, as well as in the absence of ambulations 



on the legs ; the spines on the legs also vary in number. 



There are three specimens in Mr. Hope's cabinet, and two in the cabinets 

 of the British Museum.

 strong, with the superior surface of the basilar joint plano-convex ; margins rounded. 

 Internal superior surface and margin with five slightly curved spines, the two posterior 

 of which are subapproximated longitudinally, the third placed on the middle of the 

 internal surface, the fourth, very minute, on the superior surface, and the fifth or angu-

 arranged in three longitudinal series, two in the external and internal, and three in the 

 middle series. Lateral anal appendages ferruginous, obtuse, with the apex pointed, and
