lalei to Chellfer foliosus Balzali (from Argontiiie ami Paragua}), this 

 species also baviu;^ very slroiig, broad hair.-s, lience its name, but it 

 seems not, that it has quite so lon;? hairs on the palps as the new spe- 

 cies. These two species ai'ft distiiiguished froin each other, among olher 

 tlnii<55, by Ch. foliosus having the fiugers of the palps a little shorter 

 than the band, whilst Ch. echiiiatus bave the fìngers neaily 1 ^/g times 

 as long.

Eyes waiitiug, no eye-spots. 



Colour reddisb brown, the interstitial parties ligbter. 



Cephalothorax a little longer than wide, the posterior half nearly pa- 

 rallelsided, the aiiterior parts trongly narrowing to the front, rounded in 

 fiont, both the transverse grooves distinct, straigbt, the anterior one 

 about midway, the posterior one a little nearer to the back margin than 

 to the first groove. Cephalothorax slightiy granulose, opaque, with di- 

 spersed, davate hairs. 



Abdonien opaque, finely granulose, ali the tergites, except the last 

 one, divided longitudinaily, along the hinder margin with rows of 

 slightiy davate and truncate luiirs. The sternites very finely granulose, 

 yet somewhat glossy, ali except ihe last one divided longitudinaily, with 

 rows of partly common and acute, partly dentate hairs. 



Palps a little longer than the body, induding coxa opaque and slightiy 

 granulose (except the fìngers, these being smooth and glossy), furnished 

 with dentate hairs, yet some specimen^ inay ha\e some sligbtlv davate 

 ones iuterniixed on ihe iniier side of some of the articles of the palps; 

 hairs of the fiiigers long and acute. Trochanter stalked, about as lomr 

 as broad, the inner side regu^arly conv^x, the outer and upper sides 

 roundly protuberant; femur a little shorter than cephalothorax, stalked, 

 a little more than doublé as long as broad, nearly parallelsided, tbo 

 inner side first very slightiy convex, then veiy slightiy concave, tho 

 outer side somewhat convex, in ali not narrowing towards the extre- 

 mity; tibia stalked, about as long as and a little broader than femur. 

 on the outer side a little convex, more strongly so towards the extre- 

 mity, on the inner side a little more strongly convex, particulariy near 

 the base; band somewhat longer than and much broader than tibia, 

 from somewhat oblique base convex on both sides, on the outer side 

 more slightiy, on the inner side more strongly so, a little longer than 

 broad, gradually runnlug iuto the fingers,- the fmgers somewhat cur-
