conical tubercle, directed upwards and a lillle backwards. The femur, which has 

 a short and well marked stalk, is 24 longer than broad, and as long as but 

 distinctly narrower than the tibia; the anterior margin is beyond the stalk mode- 

 rately convex, but in the distal half moderately concave; the posterior, but much 

 more the dorsal surface is beyond the stalk first abruptly convex and then very 

 slightly so. The tibia, which is three limes as long as its rather slender and well 

 defined stalk, is 21 longer than bioad ; the anterior margin is beyond the almost 

 circular notch of the stalk evenly and distinctly convex; the posterior surface has 

 a prominent condylus and an elongate basal elevation, which is well defined behind, 

 and is beyond the latter, from which it is separated by a shallow concavity, gra- 

 dually and moderately convex with the most raised portion in the distal third. 

 The hand, which is a little longer than the tibia, but 14 broader, is almost as 

 broad as the trochanter is long, 1-6 longer than broad, 15 longer than deep and 

 14 longer than fingers; the whole chela is 28 longer than broad; the lateral out- 

 lines of the hand are beyond the stalk first rather abruptly and then moderately 

 convex, while the ventral and dorsal margins of the joint proper are very abruptly 

 convex, being almost perpendicular on stalk, at the base and then almost 

 straight. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair is scarcely enlarged towards the extremity and 

 17 longer than broad; its shape is almost triangular, because the posterio-interior 

 corner is rounded; the inner margin is a little longer than the hinder, and both 

 are slightly convex; the anterio-interior corner is produced into a point. 



Legs. — The hairs are moderately long or very long and most of them are 

 not quite simple, but with a single or a few terminal teeth ; the trochanter and 

 the trochantin bear a few very long and simple hairs ventrally. The tarsus of the 

 fourth pair of legs is at the base anteriorly provided with a "tactile" hair, as long 

 as two thirds of the whole tarsus. The trochantin of the first pair of legs is 

 distinctly wider than the femur pro[)er; the femur of the fourth pair of legs is three 

 times longer than deep. The tarsus of the first pair of legs is a trille shorter than 

 the tibia and 47 longer than deep, while the tarsus of the fourth pair of legs is 

 twice as long as the femur is deep. The claws are simple, and only slightly 

 extending beyond the arolium. 



Colour. — The maxillae and the trochanter of the palps are light brown, 

 the femur and the tibia are light reddish brown and the hand and fingers are 

 dark reddish brown; the céphalothorax and tergal sclerites are pale brown, and 

 the rest of the body is more or less yellowish. 



Measurements. — Specimen of moderate size, dilated with eggs and light 

 coloured. Céphalothorax 1-260 (0-980); abdomen 3-360 (1-680) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-616 (0336); femur 0-924 (0392); tibia 0952 (0448); hand 

 1-008 (0-616), depth 0672; finger 0-728 mm. 



Leg I: femur 0-728 (0-252), trochantin 0168; tibia 0-588 (0154): tarsus 0532 

 (0-112) mm.
