AMMOTHEIDAE 



105 



Proboscis short, sub-cylindrical; length almost three times the width and approxi- 

 mately equal to the sum of the two anterior segments of trunk. 



Abdomen elevated at an angle of about 45°, reaching a little beyond fourth lateral 

 process. 



Chelophore slightly longer than proboscis ; scape longer than chela and rather slender 

 (length 2-5 times the distal width). 



Palp considerably longer than proboscis, with nine segments, of which the second 

 and fourth are subequal (Fig. 55 a).

 c. Terminal segments of third leg of holotype. ^. Same of young specimen, (a and*: xi5;candrf: x 10.) 



Oviger small but with all ten segments distinct. 



Third leg rather slender; femur 5-5 times as long as wide; second tibia the longest 

 segment. Propodus with two large and one small spine on the proximal ventral margm 

 (Fig. 55 d); the terminal segments are very similar in all four legs.
