442 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vou. XI, 
found on Klingkang summit, between Sarawak and Dutch Borneo. 
They differ from all other species of Savax and Phrynichosarax 
known to me in the markedly greater difference in size between the 
two spines on the dorsal margin of the hand (see pl. xxxi, fig. 8). 
The spines on the finger are minute as in the preceding species. 
The larger specimen is somewhat larger than the type, the 
carapace being 4°5 mm. in width. 
Genus CHARINIDES, Gravely.! 
Type Charinides bengalensts, Gravely. 
The genus Charimdes bears to Charinus the same relation as 
does the genus Phrynichosarax to Savax. Both Charinides and 
Charinus tesemble the preceding genera in general structure, and 
in the size to which specimens grow. They differ only in the struc- 
ture of the ocular part of the carapace and in this they resemble 
the following genera, from the much larger adults especially of 
which they differ markedly in the structure of the arm and hand. 
Only one species of Charinides is known. 
Charinides bengalensis, Gravely.! 
This species is only known from Calcutta and its immediate 
neighbourhood, where it is quite common under bricks in shady 
places where desiccation is not too severe. 
The proximal spine on the dorsal margin both of the hand 
and of the finger is about half as long as the distal. These 
spines are long and slender on the finger as well as on the hand 
(see pl. xxiv, fig. 29 of this volume). They closely resemble those 
of Phrynichosarax buxtoni (pl. xxxi, fig. 4). 
Genus CHARINUS, Simon.’ 
Type C. australianus (Koch). 
The genus Charinus is represented in the Indian Museum 
collection by two specimens of C. seychellarum, Kraepelin. 
Kraepelin distinguishes three species in ‘‘ Das Tterreich”’ :—C. 
austvalianus (Koch)* from Viti and Samoa, C. neocaledonicus, 
Simon,* from New Caledonia, and C. seychellarum, Kraepelin,° 
from the Seychelles. C. insularis, Banks,’ has since been des- 
cribed from the Galapagos Islands. 
This genus and the preceding include all the most primitive 
species of the group to which they belong, and it is noteworthy 
that they are only found north, east and west of the country in- 
habited by the following genera, genera of which the adults are 
much larger and have more highly specialized arms and hands.
