Genus CATAGEUS, Thorell.! 
Type Catageus pusillus, Thorell. No other species of the 
genus is known, C. rimosus, Simon, belonging in reality to the 
following genus. 
Catageus pusillus, Thorell.’ 
(Plate xxx1, fig. I.) 
Catageus pusillus is only known from the Khayon (‘‘ Farm ’’) 
and Dhammathat caves near Moulmein. 
The Indian Museum collection includes specimens from both 
groups of caves They were found under stones, and their habits 
have already been described.’ 
The carapace of our largest specimen is 4°4 mm. across and 
3°2 mm. long in the middle line. The avms (see fig.) are short and 
stout in allspecimens. The finger is armed dorsally with two minute 
and slender spinules (see fig.). The antenniform legs are very vari- 
able in length, their femora being from about two to about three 
times as long as the carapace is broad. The femora of the first pair 
of walking legs are about 1°3-1'5 times as long as the carapace is 
broad. The metatarsi of the same pair of legs are about 1I°2 or 
I°3 times as long as the tarsi, and the first tarsal joints are about 
I'4 or I'5 times as long as the remaining tarsal joints. 
Genus PHRYNICHOSARAX, n. gen. 
Margin of carapace indentated beside lateral eyes; penulti- 
mate dorsal spine of tibia of arm longer than all others; distal

composed of less than four pieces, tarsi of less than five.
