of legs 4. Legs -4 , of which I have drawn tlie left one apart , is 

 provided v^'ith a hyalin blade on its inner side, but this is situated 

 on the distal end of the 2nd joint and resembles a cat's claw , 

 forming pincers with the third joint. It is situated somewhat dorsal! y, 

 so that when the creature is viewed on its ventral side, and when 

 the 3d joint is bent inward (the usual position), this crooked 

 hyalin blade is not observable, The 3d joint bears a tactile hair , 

 as long as the whole leg. 



Habitat: Sorex vulgaris. 



Patria: Germany. 



7. Eremaeus novus Oudms., nov. sp. 

 (With Plate 2, fig. 22.) 



This species is closely related to E. cluvlpectluata Michael, siilj- 

 trlfjoiui Oudms., jjectluata Michael, and stibpectlnata Oudms. It 

 ditîers from E. clavlpectinata in having lamellae; h'om. sutjtrlyoita 

 in having no pectinated membrane on the pseuilostigmatic organ ; 

 and from the two other E. in having a fusiform pseudostigmatic 

 organ. 



Colour light brown. 



Length about 300 jH. 



The céphalothorax is nearly triangular, with convex sides, and 

 a rounded top. — Fseiidostlgnta round, with semilunar inner 

 covering , as in E. clavlpectmata Michael, large, distinct. — Pseiido- 

 stlgiiiatie organ with smooth peduncle and fusiform head ; the organ 

 is directed upward and forward; the peduncle is proximally bent 

 three times to and fro; the fusiform head ends in a hair and is 

 provided on its outside with 7 pectinations. The real lamellae run 

 from the pseudostigmata inward toward the lamellar hair, but 

 already halfway they are truncated abruptly. Further there are 

 two interlamellar chitinous bars, running from the anterior edge 

 of the abdomen toward the lamellar hairs but not reaching them , 

 and being provided on their outside with a chitinous hook, running 

 round the interlamellar hair. Rostral, lamellar and interlamellar 

 hairs very thin.
