domen smooth and glossy, the sternites divided longitudinally like the 

 tergites, with simple, pointed hairs. 



Palps of « full » specimens somewhat shorfcer than the bodj\ Coxa 

 smooth and glossy, with simple hairs; a little part of coxa near the 

 front is, however, distinctly granulate*!, but as well \ery glossy ; the 

 other articles of the palps are granulateti, except the fingers and the 

 under surface of the hand ; the granulose parts are opaque to some- 

 what glossy, fingers and especially the lower surface of hand very 

 glossy. The hairs of trochanter, femur and tibia are short, strongly 

 davate, those of the hand partly davate, partir serrated, those of 

 the fingers simple, pointed, with some longer ones intermixed. — Tro- 

 chanter distinctly stalked, a little longer than broad, the inner side 

 slightly convex, behind with a low tubercle in the middle. Femur 

 about as long as the hinder margin of cephalothorax, thus considerably 

 shorter than the length of cephalothorax, stalked, 3-4 times as long 

 as broad, the inner side nearly straight, behind a little widened near 

 the base, the outer side being nearly straight or slightly convex, in 

 ali about of the sanie Avidth throughout. Tibia distinctly stalked, a 

 little shorter and bròader than femur, somewhat convex on both sides, 

 on the outer side most convex towards the extremity, on the inner 

 side most so near the base. Hand stalked, from somewhat oblique and 

 truncated base on the outer side very slightly convex, on the inner 

 side more strongly so, about as long as and a little (1 l / 5 ) broader 

 than tibia, a little longer than broad, gradually running into the fingers. 

 These are curvate, only a little shorter than the hand. 



Mandibles: galea long, slender, at the extremity with some few, 

 very small teeth. 



Legs: the outer side with davate, the inner side with simple, 

 pointed hairs. The femora of the two posterior pairs of legs very broad. 

 Claws simple. 



Length: the largest specimen is scarcely attaining 2 mm. 



The described specimens are ali of them females ; according to 

 Balzan the male is somewhat smaller, the hinder margins of the ter- 

 gites of abdomen irregularly dentated (hence the name) and galea 

 small, pointed and missing teeth. 



Paraguay : Puerto Bertoni 5 specimens 9 (A. Bertoni de Winkelried). 

 In the specimens, on which this description is founded, the fingers 

 are almost as long as the hand, while Balzan indicates, that they are 

 to be shorter than the hand, well-nigh 4 :4 i l v
