146 PANAPHANTÜS SQUAMICEPS. 



verse, 10 broader tluiii i» , 11 very thick and large, short- 

 oval, more than four times as broad and five times as 

 long as 3. — The femora , especially those of the intermediate 

 legs, are strongly swollen at the basal third. — The coxae 

 are sub-contiguous , those of the hind legs very large , 

 occupying two fifths of the breadth of the abdomen. — 

 There are five abdominal segments ; the first and fifth are 

 very broad, the latter broader than the former , the 2nd to 4th 

 narrow , when taken together they are as broad as the first. 

 This species seems to be allied to the genus Cercocerus 

 Motsch. ; the palpi are somewhat too stout and too long 

 for the genus Bijthinus.
