c?. Céphalothorax. — Both grooves or stripes straight, and posterior both 

 deeper and broader than the anterior. Tlie tirst thoracic tergite with tlie posterio- 

 lateral corner produced into a tiny spine or looth on the left side, but with two 

 small rounded tubercles on the right. Skin with minute granules, a little bigger 

 and flatter than those of the female. The second tergite is completely like an abdo- 

 minal one and bears a big lateral spine, extending beyond the posterior margin. 



Abdomen (PI. Ill, fig. 2a). — The abdomen is depressed to a considerable 

 degree, gradually widened out towards the tip, but distinctly longer than broad. 

 The IV to X lergites are longitudinally divided and the five first bear longitudinal 

 lateral keels, which are directed obliquely upwards and outwards; the keel of the 

 fifth tergite is poorly developed, but very distinct, while those of the second and 

 the third tergites, which in shape resemble a hatchet, produced into a strong 

 tooth backwards and a smaller one forwards (PI. Ill, fig. 2a, /'-/'). The genital 

 area is of the "Lophochernes" type (cf. pp. 122 — 123). 



Antennae — The antennae were too badly preserved to be examined. 



Palps (PI. Ill, figs. 2 c-d). — The palps are longer and more slender than 

 those of the female. The fingers bear a number of tactile hairs as well as sense- 

 spots; the immovable finger bears posteriorly two hairs basally, one near to the 

 middle, and one near to the tip, in addition to ten spots in the basal third part; 

 anteriorly it has three (?) tactile hairs placed in a similar manner; the movable finger 

 bears posteriorly two tactile hairs near to the base, one near to the middle and 

 one in the distal third part in addition to three sense spots at the base and two 

 just beyond median hair. The femur is 37 longer than broad and of much more 

 elongate appearance; the tibia, which is 5 times as long as its stalk, is 3'2 longer 

 than broad; the hand is 17 broader than tibia and only a trifle longer than fingers; 

 both the lateral outlines are much more suddenly convex. The fingers gape, when 

 closed, in the proximal three fourths, as the margins of the fingers are here con- 

 cave, but more distally straight, touching each other; distally, where the margins 

 are straight, they bear a number of pointed teeth, more proximally, where they do 

 not touch each other, they are almost smooth (fig. 2 d). 



Coxae (PI. II, fig. 10a). — The fourth pair of the coxae are enlarged towards 

 the extremity and bear here in front of the articulate cavity a big stout spine, 

 directed upwards and outwards; the anterior margin is moderately convex, while 

 the posterior is strongly concave. The coxal sac has the comparatively large basal 

 portion, which bears a single conical tubercle with a hair, well separated from 

 the distal part (cf. pp. 47-48; pi. II, fig. 10 a). 



Legs. — The femur of the fourth pair of legs is 28 times longer than deep. 

 The tarsus of the first pair of legs is much shorter than the tibia and 3'7 longer than 

 deep; it is of almost equal depth in its whole length; the tarsus of the fourth pair 

 of legs is twice as long as Ihe femur is deep. The teeth of the anterior moderately 

 curved claw is placed ventrally in the first pair of legs; the posterior long, slender 

 and almost straight claw has no tooth.
