median groove is not distinct. The hand also resembles that of 
P. buxtoni. The finger is armed above with two spines situated 
as in P. buxtont, but quite minute, each being about half as long as 
the shorter of the two found in that species (see pl. xxxi, fig. 6). 
In this character P. rimosus resembles species of the following 
genus. 
Genus SARAX, Simon.! 
Type S. brachydactylus, Simon. 
In ‘‘ Das Tierreich’’ Kraepelin recognized two species in this 
genus, S. brachydactylus, Simon, and S. savawakensis (Thorell). A 
number of species have undoubtedly, however, been grouped 
together by various authors under the latter name, including some 
belonging to the genus Phrynichosarax. 
S. brachydactylus is not known to me. The remaining species 
may be distinguished thus :— 
Proximal spine of hand slightly more than half 
as long as distal oe sat su. a Webley, p. 441. 
Proximal spine of hand scarcely half as long as 
distal ie Be oes ... S. savawakensis, p. 441 
Sarax brachydactylus, Simon.’ 
Simon records this species from Luzon in the Philippines, 
where it was found in the caves of Antipolo (Province Morong), 
San-Mateo (Province Manila) and Colapnitam (Province Camarines- 
Sur). 
Sarax willeyi, n. sp.’ 
(Plate’xxxi, fig. 7.) 
Two specimens preserved in the Indian Museum were col- 
lected by Dr. Willey in New Britain. The only character by 
which they appear to be distinguished from S. savawakensis has 
been noted in the above key (see also pl. xxxi, figs. 7 and 8). In 
both S. willeyi and S. sarawakensis the spines on the finger are 
extremely small. In this respect these species closely resemble 
Phrynichosarax rimosus, which S. willeyt also resembles in all other 
characters except the structure of the legs by which the genera 
Savax and Phrynichosarax are separated. 
A specimen from Narcondam Island in our collection, and 
one from Table Island (Andamans) in the British Museum collec- 
tion, must belong to this species or to one not yet described ; but 
the spines on the finger are imperfect in both. 
Sarax sarawakensis (Thorell).° 
(Plate xxxi, fig. 8.) 
This species was described by Thorell from Sarawak. Mr. 
Moulton has sent me from the Sarawak Museum two specimens
