pair of ''tactile" hairs and the tenth sternite a single one. The genital area is of 

 the "Lophochernes Sim." type. 



Antennae. — The galea does not extend beyond the terminal curved hair, 

 and is distally provided with at least eight branches, which are shorter than the 

 galea is thick at its base. 



Palps (PI. Ill, fig. 8 a). — The palps are much longer, almo.st 1-35, than body 

 and have the granulation a little better marked than the female; the number of 

 the sense-spots of the immovable finger differs sliglally, and it bears dorsally in 

 the middle a distinct one. The trochanter is dorsally and posteriorly produced a 

 little better than in the female, and is a trifle broader than the femur, which is 

 less slender in appearance and 3-4 times longer than broad; the tibia is only 2-7 

 longer than broad and has the lateral outlines, especially the anterior, more convex; 

 Ihe hand is on account of the broad tibia only 1-5 broader than the tibia, and 

 only a trifle longer than the fingers, which gape widely, when closed, in the proxi- 

 mal three fourths, as the margin of the immovable finger is concave and that of 

 the movable is obtuse-angled, while they distally are straight and touch each other 

 being here provided with pointed teeth. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair of the coxa is widened out towards the extremity 

 and bears here a moderately big and stout spine; its posterior margin is moderately 

 concave. The coxal sac has a fairly well defined and big basal part (cf. p. 48). 



Legs. — The posterior terminal lateral hair of the fourth pair of legs is 

 almost straight and is provided with a small ventral tooth' in addition to the dorsal, 

 being slightly curved downwards in the middle beyond lhe.se; the corresponding 

 hair of the first pair of legs is very slender without distinct tooth; the anterior 

 hair of the fourth pair is straight proximally and broken jusl under the well 

 developed dorsal tooth, while that of the first pair is almost straight with at least 

 one tooth. The tarsus of the first pair of legs is much shorter than the tibia and 

 4 limes as long as deep a little in front of the base; its lower outline is moderately 

 convex. The anterior claw of the first pair of legs is moderately curved and bears 

 a small ventral tooth behind the tip, while the posterior is slender, scarcely curved 

 and swollen near to the middle, where it bear a small, but distinct, backwards 

 directed tooth. 



Colour. — The colour is a little darker than in the female, especially the 

 light brown abdomen. 



Measurements. — Céphalothorax 0880 (0840); abdomen 1-456 (1092) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-460 (0-260); femur 0868 (0-250); tibia 0868 (0310); hand 

 0.784 (0-476), depth 0436; finger 0760 mm. 



Leg I: tibia 0405 (0126); tarsus 0350 (0090) mm. 



Variation. — Another male examined is in many respects different from 

 the typical specimen already described, but these dill'erences may perhaps be 

 explained by the fact, that it was not fuUgrown. It is much smaller; the posterior 

 transverse groove is much broader than the anterior, almost half as broad as the
