Pedipalpi, Ricinulei, and Opiliones. 37 



excepting a lateral portion around each eye, is set with 

 numerous denticles, among which those in a narrow belt 

 below the eyes are somewhat large, and the denticles diminish 

 nmch in size downwards and disappear near the base of 

 the protuberance; the processes are armed with conspicuous 

 denticles. 



The abdominal shield has a median row of five spiniform 

 processes or teeth ; the process on second segment is larger than 

 that on the first, and the latter is larger than the third, while 

 those on fourth and fifth segment are mere denticles; first and 

 second segment each besides with a transverse row of two pairs 

 of conspicuous denticles, while on the three other segments 

 corresponding denticles are small or wanting. The free abdo- 

 minal tergites and the ventral surface of the abdomen nearly 

 smooth . 



Palps not inconsiderably longer than the body. Trochanter 

 distally with a few granules above and below. Femur a little 

 cur\'ed and slightly thickened towards the end, with rows of 

 denticles on the lower side and granules on the upper surface. 

 Patella with two marginal rows of granules above ; the apophy- 

 sis slightly longer than the patella itself (fig. 3 c and 3 d) and 

 somewhat shorter than the tibia, moderately slender, but with 

 the subdistal part slightly thickened and everywhere clothed 

 with short hairs. Tibia proximally with very incomplete rows 

 of granules; the terminal inner apophysis (fig. 3 d) is short, 

 shorter than broad, hair>\ 



Legs extremely long, ver>' slender. Coxae of first pair with 

 a moderate number of irregularis^ scattered, setiferous granules, 

 while the other pairs are less scabrous. Femora subsimilar, 

 excepting that second pair are distinctly more slender than 

 the first, and all with rows of small denticles; patellae with very 

 few denticles, while the denticles on the tibiae are very small 

 and partly rudimentary.
