III. Description of Species. 



1. Gariipiis irriigaliis Sim. 

 (PI. I, figs. 6a-(l; pi. II, figs. 1 a-d). 

 1899. Simon (1.'').) p. 122. 



Distance of front pair of eyes three times greater than their diameter. Céphalo- 

 thorax nuich broader Iwhind tlian long: lateral outline suddenly conc<n>e in front of 

 eyes; well defmed cucidlus with narrow front margin, fairly deep incision, distinct 

 longitudinal groove prolonged backwards. Transverse sutures obsolete. Body with large 

 granules and short hairs. Flagellum consisting of a single pointed hair: serrula exte- 

 rior with two basal teeth long and enlarged towards extremity; galea is a simple 

 pointed stylet. Trochanter of the palps distinctly longer than broad with anterior 

 outline almost circular; femur with almost parallel sides, four times longer than broad, 

 as broad as tibia ; this three times longer than broad, anteriorly near base low emin- 

 ence. Hand is PI broader than tibia, distinctly shorter than finger u>ith anterior 

 margin abruptly and strongly conoe.v, posterior moderately so. The fourth pair of the 

 coxae is twice as long as broad; the basal femoral part of first pair of legs three 

 times longer than deep; tlie tarscü joints of almost eciual length, and the tarsi of the 

 fourth pairs longer than the tibia. 



Ç. Céphalothorax (PI. II, fig. 1 a). — The eyes are apparently of equal size; 

 hinder pair, facing backwards and outwards, almost touching front pair facing for- 

 wards and outwards; the former pair are more circular, the latter more oval; the 

 front pair of eyes removed from the anterior margin a distance, equal to three 

 times their diameter. Céphalothorax is much broader behind than long and tapering 

 towards the eyes, but is here suddenly concave, establishing a behind well defined 

 cucullus. This has the anterio-lateral corners rounded and a fairly deep median 

 incision, prolonged backwards into a well marked longitudinal groove. The head 

 is most raised at the base of the cucullus, which is directed slightly downwards; 

 the hinder portion of the céphalothorax is almost saddle-shaped. Transvei'se sutures 

 most often obsolete; a median one, curved backwards in the middle, is sometimes 

 visible; the second is perhaps represented by a jagged line near posterior margin. 

 Skin everywhere coarsely granular, most distinctly in front part of head on account 

 of darker colour; the scarce hairs are very short and blunt; a single longer one at 

 front margin. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen is distinctly longer than broad, and broadest a 

 little behind the middle. The tergites are of almost equal breadth, but the three 

 first are a litlle shorter than the following, which are about six times broader than 

 long. They are granular with scale-shaped granules; granulation of the anterior 

 darker band much more prominent than that of the hinder portion of the tergite. 

 Along hinder margin of each tergite a row of about 16 very short blunt hairs. 

 Sternites arc similar to tergites, but granulation is more indistinct and the hairs 

 are longer and pointed.
