teeth , this leg is also not quite smooth but covered with 

 minute points. The ambulatory legs finally are less 

 slender. Young specimens may be distinguished at first 

 sight by the characters of the rostrum. 



Pal. dayanus Henderson from India bears also some re- 

 semblance, but the upper margin of the rostrum presents 

 only 7 — 9 teeth , the second or third of which stands 

 above the orbital margin and the fingers of the second 

 legs are finely ridged longitudinally on all sides. The ova 

 of this species have also a large size. 



In Pal. asperulus v. Mart, from Shanghai the carpus of 

 the second pair of legs is shorter than the palm and these 

 legs are scabrous. 



Pal. (Eupal.) elegans de M. from Buitenzorg, the ova 

 of which are likewise of large size, 1,4 — 1,5 mm. long 

 and 1 — 1,1 mm. broad, is certainly difierent. An adult 

 male and an ova-bearing female are before me. The rostrum 

 has another form and presents different characters. The 

 second pair of legs of the adult male are larger, stouter 

 and distinctly scabrous ; the dactylus bears characteristic 

 tubercles, that are not observed in Pal. Trorwpii. The am- 

 bulatory legs finally are more robust. 



Pal. [Eiipal.) dispar v. Mart, has a different physio- 

 gnomy. The carpus of the second pair of legs is more 

 elongate and more slender. The palm is cylindrical and not 

 broader than the carpus, the fingers are armed with more 

 numerous teeth and these legs are scabrous. The eggs 

 finally are small. 



Pal. (Eupal.) sundaicus Heller is, like the preceding, an 

 Eupalaemon , the carpus of the second pair of legs is longer, 

 the palm scarcely broader than the carpus and almost cylin- 

 drical , the toothing of the fingers is different , the eggs 

 are very numerous and small , having a diameter of 

 0,50— 0,65 mm. 



The measurements of Pal. [Parap.) Trompii in mm. are 

 the following:
