Pedipalpi, Ricinulei, and Opiliones. 47" 



Abdomen with the tergites undivided in the median line 

 and densel}^ granulated; the granules, which on first tergite 

 are nearly as on cephalothorax, decrease gradually in size 

 posteriorly, so that they are distinctly smaller and besides 

 more dense on the posterior tergites. On the ventral side the 

 first furrow is moderately curved (fig. 2 b) and terminates 

 without being produced forwards inside the spiracle; the anal 

 operculum is somewhat vaulted, and seen partly from behind 

 broader than long; the whole ventral surface is densely and 

 finely granulated. 



Antennaf rather long. First joint seen in situ from above 

 (fig. 2 a) four times as long as broad at the base, and here scar- 

 cely as broad as the conus foetidus; it is granulated above 

 and on the more proximal part of the lower side. The hand 

 of the chela is a little more than five times as long as broad 

 (fig. 2 f ) , smooth on the anterior side, and more than three 

 times as long as the movable finger. 



Palps (fig. 2 h) about as long as the externally \-isible part 

 of the antennae. Femur considerably longer than the trochanter, 

 about four and a half times as long as deep, with several gra- 

 nules on the lower margin. The tarsal part slightly shorter 

 and a little thicker than the tibia. 



Legs (figs. 2 i and 2 k) moderately robust; first and fourth 

 pairs a little shorter than the body. Surface of first pair of 

 coxa- not lower than that of second pair. Femora of first pair 

 with the distal half distinctly curved, so that the lower margin 

 is conspicuously concave (fig. 2 i) ; the other femora nearly 

 straight. Tibia somewhat longer, but not deeper, than the 

 patella, about twice as long as deep. Tarsi of first pair 

 (fig. 2 i) a Httle deeper than the tibia, with the lower 

 margin rather angular somewhat before the middle, and 

 tlie solea occupies about three-fifths of the lower margin of 

 the joint.
