•Auâ tlie eleventh longiliidinally divided; along the hindmost margin a transverse 

 row of about 14 rather short obtuse hairs and near to the tip of the abdomen 

 also a few "tactile" hairs. The galea, which bears a few distal branches (tav. V, 

 fig. 9 a), is short, scarcely extending beyond the curved terminal tactile hair. The 

 slender palps, which are a little longer than the body, appear almost smooth and 

 are provided with short, slender, broken and dentated hairs with the exception of 

 the fingers, which bear simple pointed hairs in addition to the tactile ones. The 

 trohanter is, as seen from above, scarcely longer than broad, and "a latere visa 

 supra sub-gibbosa"; the femur is scarcely broader than the trochanter and at least 

 three times as long as broad ; the tibia is almost as long as the femur and distinctly 

 broader with fairly convex outlines; the hand which is almost twice as broad as 

 the tibia and about lö longer than the fingers, has the anterior outline moderately, 

 but more distinctly convex than the posterior; it is broader than deep. The tarsi 

 of the fourth pair of legs bear besides the usual hairs a long, slender and almost 

 median "tactile" one; the claws are "sat profunde bilidi". The palps are reddish 

 brown with darker fingers. Thorell has examined a single specimen from Bhamo, 

 which is probably a young one ; this species, the position of which within the 

 "Lophochernes Sim." group may be regarded as beyond a doubt, is remarkable on 

 account of short trochanter and broad hand of the palps.

 Two eyes; céphalothorax longer than broad behind, with two straight rather 

 narrow, but deep grooves, and of a smooth and polished appearance; abdomen 

 fiattened with transverse rows of "setis tenuibus et acutis" in addition to longer 

 "tactile" ones near to the tip. The galea is simple(?). The long and slender palps 

 are almost smooth with "setis simplicibus, tenuibus inæqualibus paucis ' in addition 

 to the tactile hairs of the fingers; the trochanter is longer than broad; the femur 

 is long and of almost equal length and breadth to the tibia, which is twice as long 

 as broad, and has no stalk; the hcmd is scarcely broader than the tibia and a little 

 longer than the finger. The céphalothorax, abdominal segments and palps are 

 " fusco-olivacea interdum subnigra ". This species from Sumatra is according to 

 Simon related to Ch. bisulcus Thor., but easily distinguished by its narrow hand 

 "à peine plus large que le tibia '. Simon has later on referred a specimen from 

 Olaa Hawaii to this species, but he is probably wrong, for the animal from Hawaii 

 has among other differences "the hand .... distinctly broader than the tibia and 

 longer than the fingers" (cf. 21. p. 100— 101).
