jj.2 and 4 longer, /4 being longer than /.2 ; 7.5 longer thany.3, about 

 half as long asy.2 ; j.d longer thany.5, fully half as long asy.4 ; /.y small, 

 shorter than/s ; y.S slightly longer than/.y ; 7.9 longer thany.S ; _^".5, 6, 

 7, 8 somewhat clavate, the succeeding joint being in each case articu- 

 lated at the dorsal side of the broad distal end of the joint preceding it. 

 The palp is armed with short, rather stout spines, especially along the 

 ventral side of the distal 5 joints. 



Oviger of female measures somewhat less than fully extended palp : j.\ 

 short; 7.2 considerably longer; 7.3 slightly longer than/.i ; j.\ longest, 

 about twice as long as/.j ; y.5 shorter again ; j.d still shorter; y.7 longer 

 thany,6 but shorter than y.5 ; y.8 about equal toy.6 ; y.9 about equal to 

 y.7 ; y.io very small, rounded. Joint 10 has two rather large denticulate 

 spines, y.9 at least one, andy.8 two smaller ones ; besides this the terminal 

 joints of the oviger may bear i or 2 short simple spines, while the re- 

 mainder of the appendage is unarmed. 



Legs about twice as long as body ; c. i short, armed distally with i to 

 3 or 4 short, stout spines; c.2 about twice as long as c.\, considerably 

 broader distally; ^.3 about as large as c.2\ f. about as long as coxal 

 region, but little broader than r.3, and without a projection dorsodistally ; 

 /.I equals// /.2 somewhat longer ; both with a more or less irregular 

 wavy dorsal margin ; ts. i rather long in proportion to its breadth, termi- 

 nating dorsally in a well-marked 'lappet'; ts.z somewhat less than half 

 as long and nearly as broad as /.2, of about the same width throughout, 

 and slightly arcuate ; armed dorsally with 5 or 6 long slender spines 

 and several shorter ones ; heel with 3 short stout spines which project 

 slightly distally ; sole with a comb-like series of much shorter spines ; d, 

 less than half as long as ts.2, the dorsal surface curved about evenly, the 

 ventral straight proximally and curved near the tip ; aux. cL over half as 

 long as cL, slender. 



Length 1.8 mm., extent about 8 mm. 



Specimens of a dark brownish color, due chiefly to adhering dirt ; light 

 brown when this is removed. Integument thin and cuticular cavities 

 scattered. 



Immature specimen nearly as large as adults, more slender; chelifori 

 chelate (pi. xxi, fig. 4) ; chelae slender, strongly curved, crossing one 

 another at tip ; ovigera short, not fully developed.
