VIII. Description of Species. 



1. Chelifer Mortensenii n. sp. 

 (PI. II, figs. 9a-c; pi. Ill, figs. 1 a-i). 



Dislimt eyes present. Two transverse stripes, straight in the middle and of (dmosl 

 eqnal brcadtli; ceplialotliorax with obtuse hairs and almost smooth. Abdomen with 

 tergal keels ft^ J, with no Iiairs but lateral in front of marginal row and with "tactile" 

 hairs on last two segments. Genital area of male of "Lophochernes" type. Palps 

 slightly shorter fÇ) or slightly longer ((}) than body and almost smooth; trochanter 

 distinctly longer than broad and its dorsal surface scarcely produced posteriorly : femur 

 about 3 times as long as broad, as long as but distinctly narrower than tibia, which 

 has lateral outUnes moderately convex and the basal posterior elevation very indistinct; 

 hand is 1A (Ç; or l'o ((^) broader than the tibia, and 1-4 (^) longer than or of almost 

 equal length ((^) to fingers. The coxa IV ((^) with distinctly concave posterior margin, 

 including a coxal sac, which has a well defined basal portion, and provided with an 

 exterior spine. Median tarsal "tactile" hair of fourth pair; the tarsus I is as long as 

 the tibia (^) much shorter ((^), and 5 C^) or 3 times (c^) as long as deep. Clcuvs with 

 big anterior tooth ; anterior claw of first pair of legs (c^) with small ventral tooth and 

 posterior slightly curved without distinct tooth. 



Ç. Céphalothorax. — Two distinct eyes are present. The céphalothorax is 

 slightly longer than broad behind; two very prominent, broad and dark transverse 

 stripes are found, of which the posterior is a trifle less prominent, and which are 

 almost straight in the middle; the second tergitc, which is only half as long as the 

 first, appears completely alike an abdominal tergite and has a longitudinal dark 

 line. The integument appears smooth, but is really reticulate chiefly laterally; short 

 and obtuse hairs are placed on the head and first tergite without proper order, but 

 those of the second, which are longer, along the hinder margin in a transverse row.
