Remarks. This specimen differs from the four known species of the genus in having 

 (i) the cephaUc segment separated off from the remaining trunk segments, (2) simple 

 instead of compound spines on the legs, (3) the scape of approximately uniform 

 diameter throughout, and not hollowed out to form a cup or collar ^ around the proximal 

 part of the chela, and (4) denticulate spines on the terminal segments of the oviger. 

 These differences are not of generic importance.

In three species — A^. annatus, Haswell (Flynn, 1919, p. 84, pi. xxi, fig. 18), A^. 

 korotnewi, Schimkewitsch, and A^. muscosus, Loman (1908, pp. 50-53, pi. xiii, figs. 

 175-188) — the chelophore exceeds the proboscis in length. In the remaining two 

 species— TV. abstrusiis, Loman, and N. denticulata— the chelophore is shorter than the 

 proboscis. The former differs from the latter species, however, in having a two-jointed 

 scape and three, instead of two, spinose projections on the dorsal surface of the trunk. 



1 N. abstrusus, Loman, also seems to have no projecting collar round the chela, but the figures given are 

 very small (Loman, 1923 a, p. 8, fig. D i and 2).
