33. Chelifer Inclicus n. sp. 

 (PI. IV, figs. lOa-d; fig. 23, p. 195). 



Ç. Large, distinct ocular spots; cephalotlwrax much longer than broad without 

 transverse line, smooth with almost simple hairs ; abdomen rather long until distinct 

 tergal sclerites. The partly granular palps are of almost equal length to the body; 

 trochanter distinctly longer than broad with the posterior margin abruptly convex and 

 the dorsal surface produced into a fairly high conical tubercle; the femur is '25 longer 

 than broad, a little shorter, but distinctly narrower than the tibia, which has a very 

 long stalk, distinctly convex lateral outlines and a fairly well marked basal elevation. 

 The hand is lo broader than the tibia, 1-S longer than broad, 7 7 longer than deep 

 and J't longer than finger. "Tactile" hair of the fourth pair is placed at the base of 

 the tarsus; the tibia of the first pair is much longer than the tarsus, wliich is h-'i 

 longer t\\an deep. 



Ç. Céphalothorax. — Large and very prominent ocular spots are found. 

 The céphalothorax is much longer than broad behind and here a good deal broader 

 than just behind the "eyes"; no transverse lines are visible, but the "head" is 

 indistinctly marked ofi" by being belter raised and a little darker; the skin is 

 almost smooth and the few rather long and stitT hairs possess a few distal teeth. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen, which is scarcely twice as long as broad and 

 of a fairly elongate appearance, has the tergal sclerites, of which the fifth to 

 the tenth are indistinctly longitudinally divided, very well marked; the sternal 

 sclerites are fairly well marked and like tergal ones with indistinct longitudinal 

 line. The hairs were missing in the specimen examined. 



Antennae (PI. IV, fig. 10 a). — The flagellum, which consists of four hairs, 

 has the six marginal teeth of the anterior one arranged in a curious way, as shown 

 in the figure (fig. 10 a); the serrula exterior has the basal tooth of the 24 provided 

 with a rounded terminal flap; the galea is wanting in the specimen examined. 



Maxillae. — The maxillae are completely smooth but for a few minute 

 granules laterally and provided with a fairly long, but very broad lamina, which 

 is slightly serrated exteriorly. 



Palps (PI. IV, fig. 10 b; fig. 23, p. 195). — The palps, which are of almost equal 

 length to the body, are with the dorsal and the lateral surfaces not very distinctly 

 granular with minute and low granules in the three proximal joints, but every- 

 where else almost smooth. The long and stiff hairs possess distal teeth ; the slender, 

 completely simple ones of femur e. t. c, which are found in species related, are 

 wanting in specimen examined; the fingers are provided with tactile hairs and 

 sense-spots, which seem in the main to be arranged in the following way. The 

 immovable finger bears anteriorly two basal tactile hairs, one median dorsal and 

 one placed a little in front and below this, in addition to at least five sense-spots, 

 arranged between the three first hairs; posteriorly two basal, one median and one 

 almost terminal tactile hairs in addition to five, proximally placed sense-spots are
