HANSEN AND SÖRENSEN, THE TARTARIDES. 47 



Measureineiits. — Body 4:. 2 mm.; palps 2. o mm.; first 

 legs 4.7 mm.; fourth legs 3.: mm. 



Colour. — Head, especially its anterior half, antennse and 

 first pair of legs reddish brown; thoracic segments and abdo- 

 men lighter, dull yellowish; the three posterior pairs of legs 

 greenish. 



Locality. — Island of Martinique; one specimen (E. Simon's 

 collection). 



Remarks. — The female is rather allied to S. insignis, 

 but it is easily distinguished by a set of characters, among 

 which the following are sharp and easily seen: the shape of 

 the femur of the palps is quite different, the claw of the palps 

 is considerably longer, the foot of the first pair of legs con- 

 siderably more slender. It is also allied to S. flavescens; in 

 »remarks» to the last-named species the essential differences 

 are pointed out.

 Male and Female. 



Pl. 3., figs. 3 a— 3 i. 



Cephalotliorax. — Head on each side with a moderately 

 large, rather short but broad whitish eye-spot. Cephalic ster- 

 num somevvhat longer than broad. Second thoracic tergite with 

 a faint whitish stripe along its posterior part of tiie mesial line. 



Palps. — They differ exceedingly in the two sexes. Male 

 (fig. 3b): Palps exceedingly elongate. not fully ''U as long 

 as the first pair of legs, more than ^/a as long as the body and 

 more than three times as long as in the female. All joints are very 

 elongate, above all femur and patella, each of which being about 

 nine times longer than deep ; trochanter three times longer than 

 deep; femur with the basal half considerably curved; tibia a 

 little more than half as long as femur; tarsus slightly more than 

 half as long as' tibia; claw proportionately short, only a little 

 longer than in the female. (Several other details can be seen 

 on the figure.) — Female (figs. 3d and 3e): Palps normal, 

 scarcely half as long as the body. Lower front angle of 

 trochanter at least 100°, with the tip itself rounded. Femur 

 subovate, with its lower part showing a shape not met with 

 in the four preceding species; the (proximal) angle on the
