with the aide of a camera lucida of Abbe, to be convinced at 

 once of the fact, that the »claw" of the palp is just as long as 

 the »club". 



In the begiuning of this my article of Thr. tinctorium I said 

 already that the legs vary much in length. This difference is so 

 large, that my two females should belong to two different spe- 

 cies, if we only attached value to the length of their legs!! 



I give here a table of measures of my eight specimens. They 

 are exact in hundredtbs of millimeters. 



Remarkable are the enormous legs of the male n° 3 and of 

 the female n° 2.

Hypopus. — Length 196 f4. — Dorsal side (Fig. 49). We 

 observe two dorsal shields. In some particulars the animal is 

 allied to Tr. ornatus Oudms., Tr. manicati Giard and Tr. trijilis 

 Can., e. g. by having no strong bristles, and by two dorsal shields. 

 But in other particulars it approaches T. osmiae (Duf.), Tr. alfkeni 

 Oudms., Tr. koptorthosomae Oudms., Tr. xylocopae (Donuad.), Tr. 

 bifilis Can. and Tr. japonicus Oudms., e. g. by its being hairy and 

 by the absence of a claw on tarsus 4. Therefore I have called it 

 Tr. intermedius. The markings on the shields imitate scales with 

 blunt edges. Besides the two rostral and the two edge-hairs, there 

 are two pairs of other hairs, directed backward on the anterior, 

 nearly triangular shield. The posterior shield has 5 transverse
