there is scarcely anything that does not fit completely; certainly, 

 Tomosvàriy's figure is showing a short sinuation on the iuner side 

 of feruur towards the extremity, not nanied in my description, but 

 this sinuation will also appeal* on the femur of the South American 

 specimens when viewed a little obliquely ; the swell on the upper sur- 

 face of the femur will then easily produce this sinuation. This swell 

 is neither mentioned nor fìgured by Tomosvàry. (It is, however, pe- 

 culi ar to the males of several South American Lamprochernes, such 

 as macrochelatus and argentinus, though not so strongly developed). 

 The large eyes mentioned by Tomosvàry as present both in noduli- 

 manus and macrochelatus are certainly but ocular spots. Chelifer no- 

 dulimanus is resembling macrochelatus very much, but is larger, espe- 

 cially broader, the hand more swollen and somewhat angular, the dif- 

 ference between the height and the width of the hand greater, the 

 outer-upper surface of the hand distinctly, though minutely granulated 

 and opaque, the protuberance of the upper surface of trochanter not 

 granulated, the protuberance of the tibia is stronger and of somewhat 

 different shape than in macrochelatus.
