Céphalothorax distinctly produced in front of the eyes, the front pair of which 

 is remoued from anterior margin a distance of from three or four tintes longer than 

 their diameter; front margin with median incision, prolonged backwards in shaltou) 

 longitudinal groove. Body granular and hairs partly short and obtuse. The basal 

 femoral part of the first pair of legs' at least twice as long as tibial part; the ba-ml 

 tarsal joint of the fourth pair of legs does not bear any basal "tactile" iunr dorsally. 

 Tarsi of first pair of legs longer or of equal length to tibia. 



I. Cliaracteristic of Genus. 



Most species of Garypus L. K. fall naturally into two fairly well delined groups 

 (cf. Balzan 12. p. 534). The first group, of which G. irrugatus Sim. and G. elegans 

 Sim. may be regarded as the most typical representatives are characterized by the 

 following structural features. Tlie cucullus is sharply set oil" behind, is very narrow 

 in front, with median incision of front margin and its shallow prolongation behind 

 well marked. Céphalothorax much broader behind, and here as broad or even 

 much broader than the céphalothorax is long. Transverse sutures wanting or 

 indistinct; median most distinct and present, if only one is wanting. The llagellum 

 of the palps consists of a single rather short hair (PI. II, fig. lb); the galea is a 

 simple short stylet without any branches. The serrula, which is composed of 

 rather few only about twenty teeth, has these developed in a curious manner; the 

 two basal are much longer than the following and abnormally enlarged towards 

 the tip; the following are completely fused but the penultimate, which has the 

 pointed tip free and the terminal which is completely free and pointed (PI. II, 

 figs, lb, 2 a; fig. 3, p. 17). The lamina interior consists of rather few, broad, nuir- 

 ginally serrated teeth (fig. 3 a). The manducatory part of the maxillae is well 

 limited behind (fig. 16, p. 92). The tibia of the palps bears anteriorly just beyond 

 the stalk a low eminence or short elevation. The coxa are rather short and broad; 

 the fourth pair are onh' a trifle longer than the third and only twice as long as 

 broad (fig. 16, p. 92). The two tarsal joints of equal length or the second the longer; 

 the tarsi of the fourth pair of legs are not shorter than the tibia (fig. 1 d, pi. II). 



To this group belong besides G. irrugatus Sim., G. elegans Sim. and G. personatus 

 Sim. at least G. longidigatus Rainbow, of which I have examined Pocock's specimen
