Palps (PI. III, fig. 8 h). — The })alps, which arc a little shorter than the hody, 

 have the three proximal joints provided with granules, which are fairly distinct and 

 prominent dorsally and laterally, but very flat and indistinct ventrally; the hand is 

 finely reticulate and the fingers are smooth. The three proximal joints bear rather 

 long and distinctly clavate hairs, those of the hand are more slender and slightly 

 obtuse, while the fingers bear pointed and almost simple hairs in addition to the 

 tactile ones; the immovable finger bears anteriorly and dorsally two basal and two 

 median, of which the more proximal is placed more dorsally, in addition to one 

 sense-spot; posteriorly it has two basal, one median and one distal tactile hair in 

 addition to seven sense-spots in the proximal third. The movable finger bears ante- 

 riorly four sense-spots in the middle, and posteriorly two basal and two median 

 tactile hairs in addition to two proximal sense-spots. The trochanter, which has a 

 short and distinct stalk, is 17 longer than broad and scarcely as broad as the femur; 

 its anterior surface is beyond stalk evenly and distinctly convex; the posterior margin 

 is in the middle prolonged into a subconical tubercle, and the dorsal surface is 

 posteriorly produced in another, more rounded protuberance, which is marked out 

 below by a longitudinal depression ; the trochanter ajjpears consequently bigibbose. 

 The femur, which has a short and well marked stalk, is about 3 times as long as 

 broad, and both shorter and narrower than the tibia; anteriorly just beyond stalk 

 a low but abrupt elevation, merging into the almost straight outline of the joint 

 distally, is found, and just before tip a concavity or incision; the posterior as well 

 as the dorsal surface is abruptly convex just beyond stalk and then moderately so. 

 The tibia, which is 42 longer than the short, but very well defined stalk, is 2-7 

 longer than broad; anteriorly it is beyond the deep notch of the stalk gradually 

 and distinctly convex; the posterior surface has the rather elongate basal elevation 

 well marked off proximally and limited from the condylus by a shallow notch, 

 but distally blending into the outline of the joint proper, which is first straight 

 and then distinctly convex. The hand, which is as long as the femur and a little 

 shorter, but 1'4 broader than the tibia, is as broad as the trochanter is long, a 

 little broader than deep, 1-8 longer than broad and lO longer than fingers; the 

 whole chela is about 3 times as long as broad ; the lateral outlines are just beyond 

 the stalk rather abruptly convex, especially the posterior one, and then moderately 

 convex; the fingers scarcely gape when closed. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair are enlarged towards the extremity, but are more 

 square than triangular, as the posterio-inlerior corner is obtuse-angled; the interior 

 margin is only a little shorter than the posterior, which is moderately concave; 

 the coxa is To longer than broad. 



Legs (PI. Ill, fig. 8j). — The femurs are more or less granular; the hairs of 

 the proximsfl joints are at least partly clavate; the tarsus of the fourth pair bears 

 a median "tactile" hair, placed a little nearer to the base than to the tip. The 

 articulation between the trochantin and the femur of the lir.st pair of legs is only 

 slightly developed and the posterior articulate tooth is placed more dor.sally lliaii
