PSEl'DOSCORPKINS FRDM lìIRMA 148 



only providcil with some irregular stripes along the hinder margin. 

 The lateral margins are nearly parallel up to the eyes, in front 

 of which the cephalothorax is somewhat contracted, the front 

 margin from the middle being somewhat oblique, but with no 

 central tooth. The surface is provided with scattered, long, and 

 pointed hairs. 



Abdomen. The tergites and the sternites glossy, slightly sha- 

 greened and provided with rows of long, pointed hairs along the 

 hinder margins. 



Palps robust, glossy. Coxa smooth, the other joints slightly, 

 but distinctly granulate, less on the lower side. The fingers smooth. 

 The hairs long and pointed. — Trochanter with a very short 

 stalk, the inner side somewhat convex, a little gibbous behind in 

 the middle. Femur with a short and rol)Ust stalk, the inner side 

 straight, behind somewhat obliquely widened from the stalk (in 

 Microcreagr Is granulata more abruptly widened), the whole hinder 

 margin thus becoming more regularly convex all along (than the 

 case is in M. granulala, see the description of this species); femur 

 has the greatest width in the distal third and is all in all rather 

 robust, about three times as long as broad. Tibia with a long, 

 moderately robust, and well marked stalk, considerably wider than 

 femur, subglobose, in front abruptly widened from the stalk and 

 strongly convex, especially in the basal part, behind a little wi- 

 dened from the stalk and strongly convex; tibia is almost equally 

 convex in front and behind (thus becoming very much alike that 

 oi Mlcrocreagris granulala). Hand with a short, robust stalk, and 

 regularly rounded base, strongly convex on both sides, a little 

 less so on the outer side than on the inner one; the hand is only 

 a little wider than the tibia (about 1,3), gradually passing into 

 the fingers. Fingers a little longer than the hand, distinctly curved, 

 robust, the fixed tinger most so, each of them on the \\mvv margins 

 with a dense row of small, low, truncated teeth. 



Mandibles robust, galea simple; there is possibly a slight divi- 

 sion in the very tip, but no such thing like branches, though the 

 specimen is well developed and well coloured (see the description 

 of M. granulata in this respect). 



Legs with pointed hairs. The femora of the two posterior pairs 

 of legs very broad. Claws simple. 



Length 3 mm., bi-eadth of abdomen 0,'J mm.
