0n a new Species of the genus PARABUTHUS 



Parabuthus abyssinicus, sp. n. 



9 Closely allied to P. iiosoma (Hempr. e Ehrenb.) from Aden, but 

 with the carapace and abdominal terga, excepting the last, infoscate. 

 The granulation of the terga coarse and confìned to a narrow transverse 

 band running along the posterior portion of the terga but not covering 

 half the area between the border and the anterior crest. In P. Iiosoma 

 (9) the coarse granulation coves more than half the area and the rest 

 of the area is furnished with fine granulation. Caudal segments low as 

 in P. liosomabut with their lateral margins less strongly convex when 

 viewed from above. Chelre with upper side of brachium more coarsely 

 granular than in P. Iiosoma and the hand and brachium a little wider. 



cf Differing from male of P. Iiosoma in the same caracters as obtain 

 in the females, except that the granulation of the terga is practically 

 the same as in P. Iiosoma.
