is beyond concavity of the slalk moderately convex to the articulate cavity, which 

 occupies at least one third of the anterior surface; posterior margin is moderately 

 convex from base to tip. The hand is a little longer and almost twice as broad 

 as the tibia, and shorter than the fingers; it is scarcely twice as long as broad; 

 the anterior margin is beyond the stalk very strongly convex, while the posterior 

 margin is only moderately convex. 



Coxae. — The coxae cover, when seen from below, the hindmost margin of 

 the maxillae, and their own hindmost parts are again covered by the front margin 

 of the following pair. The first pair is as broad inwards as it is long; the two 

 following pair are widened out towards the tip and the second is here almost as 

 broad as the first pair is inwards; the third pair is distinctly narrower than the 

 second; the fourth is again broader and triangularly pointed with the point directed 

 obliquely forwards towards the middle; its inner and hinder margins merge 

 gradually into each other. 



(J"). Legs (figs. 4 h-i). — The hairs are rather long and pointed; near the 

 base of tarsus I of the fourth pair of legs a long and slender „tactile" hair is 

 placed dorsally: the lateral lerininal hair on each side of the claws is divided 

 into two slender branches as long as one third of the whole hair. The aroiium 

 has a short stalk, is distinctly widened out distally, and has the margins of the 

 sucking cup fairly serrated. The basal femoral pari is widened out distally, much 

 broader than the more distal joints and as long as the tarsi; the tibial femoral 

 part is al)out half as long as the basal part, moderately enlarged outwards and 

 distinctly shorter than the tibia; the tibia of the first pair of legs is as long as the 

 second tarsal joint, which is again IS longer than the first. The trochantin of the 

 fourth pair of legs has an almost perpendicular articulate membrane and is almost 

 half as long as the whole femur (fig. 4i, /'); this is distinctly lower towards the 

 extremity. 



Colour. — The palps and the antennae are light yellowish brown with the 

 hand and fingers of the palps darker; the céphalothorax and the abdominal sclerites 

 are yellowish brown with a green shade. The coxae, legs and sternites are yellowish 

 green or brown. The articulate membrane between the tergites and sternites is 

 yellowish white. 



Measurement.— Céphalothorax Ü-550 (0-396— 0'550); abdomen l'J6() (V'lOi)). 

 Antennae t).37() (0180) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-280 (0168); femur 0-750 (0-196); tibia 0-560 (0180); hand 

 0-616 (0-350); fingers 0680 mm. 



d". Abdomen. — The abdomen is much longer and slenderer than in the 

 female. The distinction of the sclerite proper and a shorter, less chitinized portion 

 behind, which bears the hairs, is more marked both in the tergites and sternites. 

 Between the triangular piece, between the fourth pair of the coxae, and the fourth 

 slernite we find at least two sclerites, a hinder one broader and shorter and a 

 foremost one longer and narrower, which are both provided with hairs placed in
