 verv small tail : it occurs in the American tropics, and has been taken from the 

 islands off the Californian coast. 



Diplocentrus keyserlingi Karsch 



This is a JNlexican species of which there are specimens in the Marx 

 collection labelled "California." It is nearly black. There is another Mexi- 

 can species closely similar in appearance, but with the cephalothorax smooth, 

 not gramilate ; it is D. zi'liitci Gerv., and may possibly be taken in California. 



Broteochactas alleuii Wood 



This is a small and short species, with large hand and very short fingers; 

 it was described from Baja California, but I have seen specimens from Ft. 

 Tejon, Calif. 



Hadi'urus hirsutus Wood 

 This is our largest species of scorpion ; it is reddish yellow, or brownish, 

 and unmarked ; the legs and palpi are noticeably long-haired. Specimens have 

 been seen from Indio, Tulare County, Salton, San Bernardino County, the 

 Mohave Desert, and Palm Springs. 



Uroctonus inordax Thorell 

 This is a very dark-colored species, with large claws, apparently rather 

 common in central and northern California ; specimens are from Lakeside, 

 Lake Chabot, San Francisco, Fresno County, Sausalito, Camp Meeker, Sonoma 

 County, Napa County, and Santa Rosa Island. 



Aniiroctomis pliaiodactyliis Wood 

 This is rather larger than the last species, of a red-brown color, rather 

 hairy, and peculiar on account of the swollen sting in the male. Specimens 

 are from Witch Creek, and Cuyamaca Mountains, both in San Diego County, 

 from the Mohave Desert, and Claremont.
