ror. F. H. GRAVELY: Notes on Pedipalpt. 103 
Hsipaw State, North Shan States, Upper Burma. ‘The species 
is very closely allied to the preceding and may be only a variety of 
it; but until the male is found this question cannot be settled. 
Descriptionn— 7. Unknown. 
9. Length of carapace 8°5 mm., maximum breadth 5 mm. 
Texture of integuments as in H. dawnae, but with the median 
finely punctured areas of the fifth and sixth abdominal sterna very 
narrow. Legs of a much darker colour than in the preceding 
species, the coxae and trochanters above and the femora being al- 
most black. Arm and hand as in the preceding species. Second 
(first visible) abdominal sternum a little less produced behind than 
in that species, the posterior margin being almost straight on each 
side instead of distinctly concave, otherwise the same 
H. andersoni (Oates). 
No specimen of this species appears to have been found since 
Oates originaily described it from two specimens obtained by the 
Yunnan Expedition. The badly mutilated specimen which he 
described as the female cannot, I think, be mature, and the female 
of the species must be regarded as still unknown, the description 
of an immature specimen of Hyfoctonus being worthless. 
The male, as is well shown in Oates’ figure (1889, pl. IJ, fig. 
12) is one of the most distinct species hitherto described (though 
closely allied to H. ellist described below), and it is difficult to 
see how Kraepelin (1897, p. 49, and 1899, p. 231) could possibly 
come to regard it as a variety of H. formosus. In reality it must 
be classed with Kraepelin’s A. gastrotrichus on account of the 
presence of tibial spurs on the last pair of legs only.! As Ontes 
1 H. kraepelini, Simon, also belongs to this group. Simon’s description of this 
species (1901, pp. 77-8) is inadequate and his statement that it is closely related 
to H. saxatilis—more so, one is led to assume, than to any other known species—is 
misleading. The type specimens (one mature specimen and several young) from 
Bukit Goah, in the State of Jalor (Siamese Malay States) at an altitude of less 
than five hundred feet above sea level [I am indebted to Dr. Annandale for the 
correct spelling of this locality together with information as to the altitude at 
which he obtained the specimens], have been sent me for examination by Mr. 
Doncastor, the Curator of the Cambridge Museum, to the collections of which they 
belong ; they may be redescribed as follows :— . 
@. Length of carapace 11 mm., maximum breadth of carapace 6 mm. 
Carapace more extensively granular and rugose than in H. ellist (see below), 
granulation of legs weaker. Colour muchas in that species but slightly darker. 
Arm and hand resembling those of the female of H ellis in all points except 
that the tibia and hand are somewhat more elongated, each being about 14 times 
as long as broad. The outermost tooth of the trochanter of the right arm is double 
in the only mature specimen I have seen, but this is no doubt an abnormality— 
it does not occur either in the left arm or in any of the young specimens. Second, 
(i.e. first visible) abdominal sternum about twice as broad as long, posterior 
margin on each side perceptibly but very slightly more concave than in H. ellisi, 
the rounded middle portion somewhat less obtuse but scarcely produced, impres- 
sions very obscure, apparently four in number arranged in a curve opposite the 
rounded middle portion of the posterior margin with which they enclose a broadly 
navicula-shaped area, the outer pair of impressions tinged with black. Tibial 
spurs confined to last pair of legs except in the one mature specimen in which one 
is also present on the second (but not third) right (but not left) leg, which is clear- 
ly an abnormality.
