twice ns long as broad and has dorsal surface posteriorly prodnced into "luber- 

 culuin magnum huuiile"; the femur which is of almost etpial l)readlh lo the 

 trochanter aiul almost 5 times longer than broad, is widened out towards the end, 

 a little shorter, but scarcely narrower than the tibia, which has the lateral outlines 

 almost straight. The hand, which is a little shorter than the tibia, but twice as 

 broad, is twice as long as broad at least and 15 longer than lingers. Another 

 specimen, probably a male, had the palps even more slender, almost twice as long 

 as the body; femur was for instance (5 times longer than broad, and hand 25. 

 This remarkable species is from the mountain Singalang on Sumatra.

1875. Ecloceras Helferi A. Sleeker (4.) pp. 516— 517, laf. I, figs. 1-5 and 7— Ü. 



Distinct large ocular spots; céphalothorax with two Iransverse stripes, of which 



the anterior is curved forwards in the middle and the posterior backwards, and 



with big granules. Granular palps shorl and clumsy with clavale hairs and fingers 



shorter than hand. The claws are provided with distinct teeth. India.

This species is nearly related to the preceding one and is perhaps the male; 



it dillers principally by the structure of the femur of the palps, which is providetl 



with a pair of median, long and stout tubercles, and by the lingers, which are as 



long as the hand. India. 



15. Chelifer aequatorialis Dad. 

 1897. E. Daday (14.) p. 475, tab. XI, figs. 5-6. 



Body elongate and granular with clavale hairs. Galea big and each of 

 the two branches with several ramilications, extending a long distance beyond 

 terminal hair. Palps short and clumsy, as long as body, granular and with long, 

 distinctly clavale hairs; the femur is about twice as long as broad and much 

 narrower than tibia; the hand is distinctly broader than the tibia and longer than 

 the lingers. This very imperfectly described species is from Friedrich-Wilhelms- 

 hafen (German New Guinea).

Body flattened, slightly granular and provided with clavale hairs; the galea 

 is variable, but seems always to be well developed and divided into a number of 

 long ramifications; the palps bear distinctly clavate hairs and their hand is scarcely
