 P- 154—156). 



Only one species is known. 



Paracharon caecus n. sp. 



PI. I, figs. '2 a — 2e. 



Cephalotliorax (fig. 2 a) only about one-eighth as broad 

 again as long, considerably vaulted, with the radiating im- 

 pressions partly deep ; the antero-lateral margin is a little con- 

 cave, the front margin transverse, rather short, with about 

 six minute, very short spines. 



Palps scarcely twice as long as the cephalothorax. Tro- 

 chanter with two small processes on the anterior margin (fig. 2 a) , 

 while the well developed process on the lower side (fig. 2 b) 

 has five or six triangular, setiferous teeth on the inner margin. 

 Femur not fully half as long as the cephalothorax (fig. 2 a) ; 

 its upper front margin has near the middle two somewhat 

 small processes; the lower margin has three to five processes, 

 the first somewhat long (fig. 2 b), the second distinctly or con- 

 siderably longer than the first, the others small. Tibia has on 

 the upper margin (fig. 2 c) three well developed processes, the 

 second process considerabh' longer than the first or the third, 

 and besides generalh' two small teeth placed respectively before 

 the first process and between first and second process; the 

 lower margin (fig. 2 b) has three processes, the second verv' 

 long and the others rather short, and besides frequently a 

 minute tooth before the first and another before the second 

 process. First tarsal joint large and only somewhat shorter 

 than the tibia ; each margin (figs. 2 b and 2 d) has two pro- 

 cesses, the distal long or very long and much longer than the 

 proximal, and besides a distinct or rudimentary' tooth is fre- 

 quently seen on the lower margin just before the proximal 

 process, and sometimes a rudimentarv tooth before the distal.
