little higher than broad ; this swell is starting gradually from the base 

 of the femur, but ends abruptly at a distance from the extremity. 

 Tibia but a little shorter and a little wider than femur (excluding the 

 protuberance), with a rather long stalk, behind for a distance nearly 

 straight, then convex towards the extremity; on the upper-inner side 

 a very strong, conical protuberance, somewhat rounded, in one spe- 

 cimen starting almost perpendicularfv at a distance from the base 

 and sloping somewhat concavely towards the extremity, in the other 

 specimen it is also sloping somewhat concavely towards the base. 

 Hand about as long as tibia, considerably broader, from very oblique, 

 somewhat truncated base moderatela convex on both sides, a little 

 more so on the inner side than on the outer one, considerably higher 

 than broad, somewhat angular, the upper-outer side being thus some- 

 what flattened, gradually running into the fingers. These slightly 

 curvate, about 2 / 3 of the length of the hand, gaping considerably (as 

 common in the d"), the moveable finger being somewhat angularly bent 

 outwards. 



Mandibles : galea (undamaged but in one specimen) xery robust, 

 nearly from the base divided in two equally strong trunks, each trunk 

 provided with 4 to 5 teeth, decreasìng in size outwards. 



Legs with partly dentated hairs; the posterior femora rather slender. 

 Claws simple. 



Length ca. 4 mm., width nearly 2 mm, the specimens being, however, 

 much contracted, the length of the palps ca. 6 mm.

 elytra of Acrocinus lougimanus. 



Tomosvàry as locality for his species indicates Dalmatia, and Daday 

 for his combined macrochelatus nodulimanus adds as localities Sumatra 

 and Aschanti. I acknowledge that I have only with some hesitation 

 referred the two South American specimens, described above, to Tomò- 

 svàry's species nodulimanus (not to macrochelatus, which in my opinion 

 is another species) ; my doing so is partly founded in my supposing no- 

 dulimanus, macrochelatus and cervus to be a naturai group of South 

 American species (partly, perhaps, also dispersed to other continents), 

 nodulimanus certainly not belonging to the European fauna, being exclu- 

 sively a tropical forni; when Tomosvàry has received it from Dalmatia 

 (what Daday, too, seems to doubt, in putting a mark of interrogation 

 after Dalmatia), it may have been thus, that the animals like specimens 

 of so many species of the Pseudoscorpions, especially those of Che- 

 lifer, have been accidentale imported hy way of navigation or other- 

 wise; the principal reason, however, for my determi nation is naturali}^ 

 the good agreement with Tomosvàry 's rather short description, but 

 apparently very good figure of one of the palps. In the description
