Pedipalpi, Riciimlei, and Opiliones. 33 



The five anterior abdominal tergites each with a transverse 

 band of small denticles: on the fifth tergite this band is narrow, 

 consisting of a row and closeh* in front of this some few dentic- 

 les; on the other tergites the band is broader and the denticles 

 are placed more irregularly. On the sixth tergite denticles 

 are ver^' feebly developed, while the two following tergites 

 are smooth. 



The antennae are considerably elongated and thickened, 

 stretched out nearly as long as the body. First joint is directed 

 forwards and considerably upwards, twice as long as thick, 

 somewhat cur^'ed, with most of the upper margin rather con- 

 vex (fig. 2 c) , while the lower margin has its long middle part 

 concave and is convex towards both ends. The upper surface 

 of the joint has a number of denticles a little smaller than those 

 on the cephalothorax, while the major posterior part of the 

 lower surface has a lower number of somewhat longer teeth; 

 the sides are nearly smooth. Second joint twice as long as, 

 but not thicker than, the first, and measured to the tip somewhat 

 more than three times as long as third joint; seen from the side 

 the upper margin of second joint is mainly directed forwards 

 and conspicuously concave which is due to a pronounced trans- 

 verse impression; the joint from the upper margin to the inser- 

 tion of third joint is a little fusiform, and the upper part of 

 its front surface has a moderate number of somewhat small 

 denticles. 



Palps somewhat longer than the bod}', moderately strong, 

 %vith the tarsus slender. Trochanter obliquely triangular with 

 some teeth on the upper side. Femur a little longer than the 

 tarsus, increasing in thickness from base to near the end, suban- 

 gular, with longitudinal rows of small, acute denticles. Patella 

 without apophysis, but with some quite minute denticles on 

 the upper surface. Tibia without apophysis, a little curved, 

 on the lower side with one denticle or two minute denticles
