Leg IV: femur 0952 (Ü-336), Irochantin 0-378; tibia ÜS12 (0-2 10); tarsus 0672 

 (0150) mm. 



Variation. — The otiier four females examined from Burma were not com- 

 pletely like the one described or to each other, one especially differed by having 

 the céphalothorax and lergites dark-brown and palps reddish-lnown; the same 

 specimen had the absolute proportions of the joints of the palps one tenth bigger 

 than the one described, but the relations between these proportions were scarcely 

 different; the granulation of the palps was a little more pronounced probably due 

 to darker colour. 



c?. Abdomen (PI. Ill, lig. 10a). — The abdomen is longer and more slender, 

 and the number of hairs in the marginal row of the tergal sclerites is smaller; the 

 number of hairs in three first tergites is only 8, not 12 or 14, and the marginal 

 row of all (he following except the two last contains 10 hairs only. The tergites 

 have the longitudinal line better marked, and the third shows trace of a division. 

 The genital area has the typical shape in "Atemnus Can." (PI. Ill, fig. 10 a, cf. p. 124). 



Antennae (PI. IV, figs. 4 b-d). — The lamina interior (fig. 4 b) has only three 

 dentated lobes, and the galea, which is very slender and scarcely extends beyond 

 the terminal hair, has only about four very short distal teeth (fig. 4 d). 



Palps (PI. IV, figs. 4 e-f). — The palps are a little longer than the body and have 

 belter marked granulations than in the female; the trochanter, which is 1-6 longer 

 than broad, has the dorsal conical tubercle much more developed, for if the joint 

 is observed from in front, the upper margin is really shaped like an acute angle 

 with the point directed towards the extremity of the joint; the corresponding struc- 

 ture in female is much lower and blunt, not pointed. The femur, which is 23 

 longer than broad, is more abruptly convex dorsally and posteriorly; the tibia has 

 the stalk of a much longer and more slender appearance, because the low concavity, 

 which is just beyond the basal elevation and which marks it off towards the extre- 

 mity, is much more developed, and the lateral convexities more elongate than in 

 female; the ventral and dorsal outlines are distinctly convex, but not circular. 

 The hand, which is 12 broader than the tibia, is 18 longer than broad, 1'65 longer 

 than deep and 1-4 longer than the finger; the whole chela is 3 longer than broad. 



Colour. — The colour is darker with all the joints of the palps reddish 

 brown. 



Measurements. — Pale specimen. Céphalothorax 1188 (0980); abdomen 

 3-080 (1120) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-644 (0-392); femur 1092 (0-448); tibia 1120 (0-532); hand 

 1148 (0-616), depth 0672; finger 0784 mm. 



Variation. — Two kinds of males were found, of which the one paler was 

 smaller with shorter palps, while the other was much darker with the palps 

 almost blackish brown and the dorsal surface of the body more or less 

 dark brown; the latter had besides the palps more distinctly granular and
