PSEUDOGARYPUS 



This genus was but recently made for a form originally placed in Garyput, 

 to which it is nearly allied. 



Pseudogarypus bicornis Banks 

 Cephalothorax with a high elevated ridge on each side; each lower anterior 



corner of the cephalothorax prolonged into a conic tubercle. Pedipalpi long and 



slender, fingers much longer than the hand; all hard parts coarsely granulate. 



Brownish yellow, cephalothorax and pedipalpi darker. Two and a half millimeters 



long- 

 Recorded by Silvestri from Shasta Springs; described from the Yellowstone 



National Park. 



CHELIFER 

 (Figure 210, C) 

 To this genus belongs the common C. cancroid.es frequently occurring in 

 buildings in all civilized parts of the world. Three species have been recorded 

 from California, but there are probably several others. 



1. Tibia of pedipalp a little convex on the inner side; fingers a little 



shorter than the hand. 2 



Tibia not convex on the inner side ; fingers as long as the hand, cancroides 



2. Legs brown. fuscipes 



Legs pale. scabrisculus 



Chelifer cancroides Linn. 

 Dark reddish-brown or paler. The pedipalpi very slender, especially in the 

 males ; the cephalothorax has some small, sharp-pointed tubercles, larger than the 

 ordinary granulations. The species occurs in and around buildings all over the 

 civilized world, often abundant in barns. 

 From Claremont and Lake Tahoe. 



Chelifer fuscipes Banks 



This species is also reddish or yellowish brown, but has brown legs ; the 

 cephalothorax is minutely granulate ; the outer ends of the dorsal abdominal 

 scuts are prolonged behind into acute spines. 



From Claremont. 



Chelifer sca,brisulis Simon 



This species is yellowish brown, with pale legs. The fingers are shorter 

 than the hand and the tibia is convex on the inner side ; the cephalothorax is 

 strongly granulate, and with some larger acute tubercles scattered over it. 



From Claremont, Mariposa, Lake Tahoe and Grant; quite common in the 

 neighboring States. 



CHELANOPS 



This, the largest genus of the family, is often kept as a section or subgenus 

 of Chelifer, but the pedipalpi are so much heavier and the femur pedicellate that
