Redescription of holotype (ovigerous ^).^ Trunk compact; lateral processes 

 separated by less than half their own diameter, last two pairs in contact proximally. 

 Neck short but distinct ; space between anterior cephalic lobes and first lateral process 

 entirely occupied by the oviger base ; anterior width of cephalon five-sixths of the length. 

 Ocular tubercle of medium height, cylindrical and rather stout ; eyes sub-terminal. 



There are 4-6 long, and a few shorter, setae on the mid-dorsal surface of segments i , 



2 and 3 respectively, and two long setae on each cephalic lobe.- The lateral processes 

 each bear a number of setae of which 2-4 near the distal articulation are longest. 



Proboscis short, stout, sub-cylindrical, rounded at apex; subequal to cephalic segment 

 and considerably shorter than scape. 



Abdomen horizontal, reaching a short distance beyond first coxa; sub-cylindrical, 

 tapering distally ; three setae, of which the median is longest, at base and a few tiny 

 setae on the distal half. 



Chelophore rather similar to that of A^. biarticiilatum, Miers. Scape setose ;3 length 

 nearly four times the distal width. Fingers equal to palm, each armed with twenty-nine 

 and thirty-five crowded spinules of unequal lengths. 



Palp rather slender ; proportions of segments 2-5 as represented in Fig. 26 b (see also 

 Table V). 



Oviger. Terminal claw subequal to tenth segment, armed with five spinules. Total 

 number of denticulate spines eleven (see Table III). Segments 4-6 in the proportions 

 1-35 : 2-3 : I ; segment 5 clubbed distally (Fig. 27 c). 



1 The most complete of the type specimens has been selected as holotype; B.M. collection. 



2 Three or four in all the paratypes. 



^ 3-4 long setae longitudinally on the mid-dorsal surface; a few finer, shorter setae on proximal half of 

 outer margin ; a semicircle of setae, increasing gradually in length towards the inner edge, near the distal 

 articulation.
