several new Species of Thclyphomis. 131 



and Waigiou are in Mr. Saunders's Collection. It is nearly 

 allied to T. Liiiganus, but is less rugose, with the cheliceres 

 more minutely toothed. 



4. Tlielyj)lionu8 Sepiaris, n. sp., jig. 6. 



Allied to T. Caudatus, easily distinguishaljle by the 

 shortness of the teeth on second joint of cheliceres, the 

 larger and more rounded chela:" and strongly excised ter- 

 mination of the moveable finger. 



Colours of preceding species and of T. Caudatus, except- 

 ing that the abdomen is redder below and has a tendency 

 to exhibit the red spots of T. Bufipcs above. 



Cephalothorax and abdomen as in T. Caudatus, legs 

 slightly less rugose ; cheliceres setose internally with basal 

 joint as in T. Caudatus, second joint broader and more 

 tuberculate, with six short sharp teeth above (two of them 

 being separated by a long interval from the others), and 

 two short blunt teeth below, third joint coarsely and 

 densely punctate, with a minute tubercle on inner surface, 

 fourth joint coarsely but sparsely punctate, terminal pro- 

 cess considerably longer than in T. Caudatus, dentate on 

 both sides ; clielie broad, shining, coarsely but sparsely 

 punctate, fixed finger short, cuneiform, moveable finger 

 with a distinct depression below the tip, a minute tooth 

 below its origin. 



Length 1 inch, 3 lines.

Certainly distinct from T. Caudatus, of which however 

 the T. Spinhiianus of Lucas proves to be the young form : 

 Mr. Whiteley having lent me specimens in two stages of 

 o•ro^^'th from Birmah. 



5. Tlielyplionns nujreseens, n. sp., fig. 4. 



Allied to T. Caudatus and the preceding species and in 

 some respects intermediate betw^een the two. 



Colours above black, legs pitchy, abdomen below pitchy. 



Cephalothorax, abdomen, and legs as in T. Caudatus, 

 perhaps rather more rugose ; cheliceres with basal and
