ved that the male is much 3'ouuger than the female. 



The ambulatory legs are similar io those of A. Richter sii , 

 but they are more distinctly and more uniformly 

 granulated, and clothed only with short and 

 scanty hairs, whereas the ambulatory legs of A. Richtersii 

 are provided with long, yellowish and silky hairs. 



The upper surface of the cephalothorax and the upper 

 sides of the legs present a fine rose-colour, the under 

 surface is paler. Quite as in the species from Tahiti , the 

 upper surface of the cephalothorax is ornamented with 

 small round white spots, some of which occur also 

 on the under sides of the carapace. The fingers are of a 

 dark lead-colour with paler tips , and this lead-colour 

 extends in the male on the distal part of the outer and 

 inner surfaces of the palm, but not in the female. 



Aciaeodes puhescens appears to be widely distributed , the 

 original specimen of the Paris Museum having been collected 

 at Mauritius.
