broad and a little broader than the femur; the anterior margin is beyond stalk 

 very moderately convex, and so is the posterior margin; the dorsal surface is 

 distinctly produced posteriorly near the tip of the joint but not so much, that we 

 can speak about a posterior dorsal tubercle. The femur, which has a short and 

 well marked stalk, is about 3'5 longer than broad, as long as but distinctly nar- 

 rower than the tibia, and gradually widened out distally; the anterior margin is 

 beyond the very shallow notch of the stalk, which is followed by a very short 

 and low elevation, almost straight to near tip, where a short distinct concavity or 

 incision is found; the posterior is distinctly convex just beyond the stalk, then 

 almost straight and towards the tip convex again. The tibia, which is about 44 

 longer than its short and well defined stalk, is 3 times longer than broad and 12 

 times wider than femur; the anterior outline is elongate-convex beyond the rather 

 shallow notch of the stalk; the posterior surface has a slightly marked condylus 

 and a rather long and low basal elevation, which is not well defined proximally, 

 but distally merges into the almost straight outline of the joint proper; this is 

 towards the tip moderately convex. The hand is a trifle shorter than the tibia and 

 16 broader, it is almost as broad as the trochanter is long, VI times longer than 

 broad, almost as broad as high, and only 12 longer than fingers; both anterior 

 and posterior margins are distinctly and rather suddenly convex, especially anterior. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair are square, slightly enlarged towards the extremity, 

 and about 15 longer than broad: the posterio-interior corner is very prominent, 

 and the posterior margin, which is about l-ö longer than the interior, is slightly 

 concave. 



Legs (PI. Ill, figs. 2 e). — The tarsus of the fourth pair of legs bears an almost 

 median dorsal "tactile" hair; the posterior terminal lateral hair of the tarsi is 

 provided with a more or less curved lower branch and a small dorsal tooth, while 

 the anterior is beyond small tooth almost straight and directed downwards. The 

 tarsus of the first pair is as long as the tibia, tapering towards its tip and 5 times 

 as long as deep. The claws bear big anterior teeth. 



Colour. — The palps are dark yellowish brown with maxillae and chelae 

 light reddish brown; céphalothorax dark reddish brown, especially in front, with 

 blackish transverse stripes; the abdomen and the coxae are light i)rown. 



Measurements. — Céphalothorax 0-840 (0840); abdomen 1740 (1036) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-476 (0-252); femur 0825 (0-235); tibia 0-825 (0280); hand 

 0-756 (0-450), depth 0-430; finger 0672 mm. 



Variation. — One of the four specimens examined was in many respects 

 different from the one described; it had a more flattened obovate abdomen, almost 

 as broad as long, and palps much more clumsy, having the femur f. inst. only 3-3 

 longer than broad; this specimen seems not to be quite full-grown. The two other 

 specimens had the body shaped as the described and tlic palps of intermediate 

 proportions.
