26 (dr. a. C. OUDBMINS). NEW LIST OF DUTCH ACA.RI , II. 



The first pair of legs is slender; the femur hears two, 1 he genu 

 three club-hke small hairs; Ihe genu is thick, swollen; the tarsus 

 has no clxw and no sucker. 



The second pair of legs is enormously developed, robust, very 

 chitinous, with very irregular outer and ventral surface of the 

 proximal joints ; the tarsus is characterized by having a distinct 

 division in two joints, by bearing 6 short robust spines, and 

 by ending into an limnovable chitinous apparatus, resemhling 2^ç\d^N. 



The third and fourth pair of legs are tolerably short and slender 

 for such a robust animal. The proximal joints bear small strong 

 spines; the tarsi show a distinct division into two joints, and bear 

 small hairs. 



There is a sternal sitield (Fig. 32), a genital shield and an anal 

 shield ; the venter is provided with many distally curved bristles. 



The mandibles (Fig. 33) are strong and heavy ; the fixed finger 

 with one strong canine tooth and a hooked incisor ; the movable 

 linger with a cheek tooth, a small canine tooth and a straight 

 incisor. 



The larva (Fig. 31) shows already the thick 2d pair of legs 

 and the claw-like end of them. 



25. Cyrtolaelaps cervus (Kram,). 

 (With Plate 2, hg. 34—36). 



Berlese has described and figured this species in his Acari, 

 Myr, et Scorp. Ital. fase. 68 n''. 8. The hairs on the dorsal side, 

 however, are not quite correctly drawn. Al least on the dorsum 

 of specimens of our country the hairs are destributed otherwise. 

 Therefore I have drawn fig. 34. Further the dorsal shield ends 

 truncated posteriorly. Berlese delineates it rounded posteriorly. 



Fig, 36 represents a larva. It does not show a dorsal shield. 

 Hitherto it is not delineated. 



Fig. 35 is a nijmjìlia , probably this is a deuionijmpha. The dorsum 

 has two chields ; an anterior and a posterior one , separated by a 

 line deeply curved backward. Hitherto it is not figured.
