distinctly reddish at the anterior end. In spirit the ground colour 
is brown. 
Length.—Up to five and a half millimetres. 
Schizomus (T'rithyreus) vittatus, n. sp. 
S. suboculatus, Gravely, 1910. 
é Unknown. 
2 Cephalothorax.—Kye-spots present, whitish, in marked contrast 
to the surrounding green colour. Cephalic sternum longer than 
broad. 
Arms.—Moderately slender, slightly less than half as long as the 
body. Trochanter with its lower front angle (about 90°) incon- 
spicuous and much rounded, anterior margin convex. Lower angle 
of femur not very sharp, very slightly further from the basal than 
from the distal end of the upper margin of the joint. Patella 
almost three times as long as deep. Claw a little less than half as 
long as the upper margin of the tarsus. 
First legs —Rather slender, about equal to the body in length, 
Coxa terminating alittle behind the anterior border of the gnatho- 
base of the chelicera. Femur a little longer than tibia. Foot not 
quite as long as tibia (about seven-eighths of its length), scarcely 
nine times as long as deep, deepest at the end of the metatarsus ; 
second metatarsus scarcely as long as the sum of the five proximal 
joints of the tarsus ; terminal tarsal joint not quite as long as the 
sum of the three proximal joints, and slightly more than half the 
length of the whole metatarsus. 
Fourth legs—About as long as body; femur rather more than 
half as long as deep. 
Tail.—Short and stout, scarcely four times as long as deep, 
somewhat swollen in the middle; three jointed, the third joint 
slightly longer than the sum of the other two. 
Colour.—Dorsal sclerites dark olive-green, in striking contrast with 
the pale integuments which connect them together, and which appear 
on the abdomen as whitish or somewhat orange-coloured, inter- 
segmental bands nearly one-fourth as broad as the dark green 
tergites, the posterior ones being somewhat narrower than the 
anterior. Abdomen with a large ventral dull ochraceus patch 
bordered with green at the sides and behind. Cephalothoracic 
sterna whicish; cox pale olive-green below, whitish above ; tro- 
chanters and all connecting membranes of the appendages also 
whitish ; the whole of the chelicerze, the terminal joint of the arms, 
and all four feet reddish ; a crimson spot on the anterior surface of 
each leg on the connecting membrane between the femur and 
patella, these spots being most conspicuous on the last pair of legs. 
Eye-spots whitish, one on each side of the rostrum. Colour scarcely 
affected by spirit.
