DAM^US TEOTICOLA. 417 



Average length of legs (third pair) about '65 mm. 

 Average length of legs (fourth pair) about '86 mm. 



This species and the following one may, I think, 

 fairly be considered as intermediate between D. clavipes 

 and B. verticiUipes. 



Colour brown, of medium depth, and having the 

 appearance of a purple bloom over it. The creature 

 is, however, usually more or less dusted or covered 

 with a whitish powder. 



Texture of cephalothorax dull and roughish ; of 

 abdomen, smooth but not polished. 



Shape. — That of the typical species of the genus, the 

 abdomen very globular. 



Cephalothorax considerably less wide than the abdo- 

 men ; without any true sculpturing, but rising to broad 

 elevations opposite the insertions of the first and second 

 pairs of legs ; leaving a strong depression between, on 

 each side of the body ; the central part of the cephalo- 

 thorax is also considerably raised and arched, but there 

 is a sharp depression before joining the abdomen, 

 extending the whole width of the cephalothorax. 

 Rostrum rather small, pyramidal. Two pairs of 

 rostral hairs. Palpi visible. The elevation opposite 

 the first pair of legs terminates outwardly in a small 

 projection on each side to which the coxa of that leg 

 is articulated ; there is a much larger projection on 

 each side between the first and second pairs of legs ; 

 this projection has a strong curved point a7iteriorly , and 

 the second coxa is articulated to its posterior edge. 

 There is a smaller projection, with a similar curved 

 point, behind the insertion of the second pair of legs. 

 Pseudo-stigmata much raised, near together. Pseudo- 

 stigmatic organs long, serrated, setlform or rod-like, but 

 somewhat thinner at the distal than the proximal end ; 

 usually standing outward and slightly backward. Inter- 

 lamellar hairs short, rough, and rod- like. 



Legs long and slender with clavate joints, but not 

 so slender nor so clavate as those of D. clavipes. The
