NYMPHONIDAE

Remarks. This small species may be distinguished from A'^. pfefferi, Loman, 

 with which it occurred in two 

 localities, as follows, (i) The 

 trunk is less compact and the 

 cephalon less expanded anteriorly 

 (cf. Figs. 16 a and 19 a). (2) The 

 legs are more slender and setose 

 (cf. Figs. 166 and 196) and the 

 tarsus is consistently longer in 

 proportion to the propodus (one- 

 half and one-third respectively). 

 (3) The scape of the chelophore 

 is longer and more slender (cf. 

 Fig. 17 a and b) ; the palm is much 

 shorter and there are fewer spin- 

 ules on the fingers of the chela 

 (cf. Fig. ij e and d). Even in very 

 small specimens these differences 

 are apparent, and when the trunk 

 length is only 1-4 mm. there are 

 already 15-16 spinules on the 

 fingers of the chela in A'^. pfefferi 

 (Fig. 17 «, cf. Fig. 176). (4) The 

 male oviger is more slender and 

 segment 6 is relatively short — half 

 as long as, instead of subequal to, 

 segment 4 (Figs. 20 a and 18 a).
