Mandibles: the moveable finger with a strong tuberete at the round- 



ing ofthe point. 



Legs moderately long, with pointed hairs. The femora of the two 

 posterior pairs of legs very broad. Coxa of the first pair of legs at 

 the outer corner with a small, brown point; the inner corner is without 

 a point, but is somewhat angular with some very small and fine teeth. 

 Claws simple. 



Length ca. 2,6 mm., but abdomen is contracted. 



Measurements: Cephalothorax: long. 0,80; lat. 0,77. Femur : long. 

 1,17 ; lat. 0,30. Tibia: long. 0,80; lat. 0,32. Hand: long. 0,80; lat. 0,64. 

 Fingers : long. 1,00 mm, 



Italy: Pado la Cadore 2 specimens (Dr. Festa). 



According to the description of L. Koch, the hand is to be as long 

 as wide and 3 times as broad as tibia, and the fingers as long as the 

 hand. This does not agree with the specimens, described above, but 

 I think, that these differences are too small to justify the making of 

 a new species. Eug. Simon has described an Italian species : Obi- 

 sium Doderoi, with the hand coloured in the same manner as the 

 above species; this is to have the coxa of the first pair of legs on 

 the inner corner produced into a point and the hand « longe ovata » 

 and smooth: certainly an allied species. — The most characteristic 

 thing in the species, described above, besides the colour ofthe hand, 

 is the construction of the teeth of the inner margins of the fingers 

 of palps, different from that of ali species of Obisium, known to me, 

 but in this matter neither Koch nor Simon are mentioning anything.

Two large eyes on each side, about Vi diameter from each other, 

 the anterior one about one diameter from the front margin. 



Cephalothorax and the somites olivaceous brown, the tergites often 

 very. dark, palps pale reddish, fingers a little darker, legs yellowish 



white. - 



Cephalothorax distinctly longer than broad, nearly parallelsided, 



before the eyes somewhat narrower, front margin slightly convex, in 



the middle somewhat depressed with a very distinct tooth; smooth 



and glossy with some dispersed, pointed hairs. 



Abdomen smooth and glossy with partly \evy long and pointed hairs 



in rows, situated somewhat removed from the hinder margins of the 



sclerites.
