454 Records of the Indian Museum. (VoL. a8 
Phrynichus granulosus, n., sp. 
This species is represented in the collections of the Indian, 
Madras and Trivandrun Museums by specimens from the following 
localities :-— 
Cochin: State Forest Tramway toth-14th mls., 0-300 ft. ; 
Kavalai, 1300-3000 ft. 
Travancore : Ponmudi, 2000-3000 ft. 
The specimen which Pocock records in the ‘‘ Fauna’’ from 
Trivandrum under the name P. phipsoni doubtless also belongs in 
reality to the present species. 
This species, whose distinctive characters are given above 
(pp. 448-449), is intermediate in character between P. nigrimanus 
and P. phipsoni, resembling the former and P. ceylontcus in the 
shape of the terminal ventral spine of the tibia of the arm, and the 
latter in the other spines of both arm and hand. The integuments 
are more coarsely granular than in any other species with which I 
am acquainted. In this character the species presumably resem- 
bles P. scaber (Gervais) from the Seychelles. The male type—the 
largest specimen known to me—has a carapace 18 mm. broad, 
the femur of the arm being 31 mm. long. The female type has a 
carapace 15°5 mm. broad, the femur of the arm being 24°5 mm. 
long. Both these specimens are from jungle near the rubber 
estate between the roth and r4th miles of the Cochin State Forest 
Tramway. 
Phrynichus phipsoni, Pocock.! 
(Plate xxxi, fig. 13.) 
This species has been recorded by Pocock from Bombay and 
Trivandrum, and from various other localities by subsequent 
authors, who have apparently confused with it the earlier stages of 
other species, 7.e. the stages which retain the third dorsal spine 
of the distal end of the tibia of the arm. I have little doubt that 
the Trivandrum specimen referred to by Pocock belongs in reality 
to the preceding species, and that P. phipsoni is confined to the 
more northerly parts of the Western Ghats. 
Phrynichus scaber (Gervais).? - 
Gervais records this species from the Seychelles, and the same 
or an allied form from Mauritius. Its distinctive characters have 
yet to be described. 
Phrynichus scullyi, Purcell.’ 
This species is recorded only from Cape Colony (Pakhuisberg 
in Clanwilliam Division, and Namaqualand). ‘The specimens from 
which it was described were probably young, judging from their 
size and colour.
