and Species of Scorpions. 325 
Stigmata elongate, the aperture crescentic. 
Measurements in millimetres.—Total length 68, of carapace 
9, of tail 36°5; width of first segment 3°5, of fifth 2°5, of 
vesicle 3°5; width of brachium 3°2, of manus 6; length of 
hand-back 8, of movable digit 9°8. 
Loc. Simla, in the Himalayas. Coll. Schlagintweit. 
Two female examples, the one above described and a 
second smaller one measuring 47 millim., of which the cara- 
pace is 6°2 and the tail 24. 
There are also two more adult female specimens of approxi- 
mately the same size as the one described, but without 
localities. These are blacker in colour, with the palpi rather 
more robust. ‘There is, in addition, a small example, the 
carapace of which measures only 5°5 millim., while the fingers 
are scarcely lobate and the manus is only one third wider 
than the brachium. 
This species may be recognized from Hardwickii*, of which 
the type is preserved in this Museum, by its much larger 
size, the average length of Hardwickii being 36 millim. (one 
example in the collection is 46 millim.), its thinner and 
longer tail, thinner hand, &c. 
The specimens that I have described differ from those 
examined by Karsch in the proportions of the fifth caudal 
segment and in having the carapace about as long as the first 
two caudal segments. These differences, however, are, I 
suspect, merely sexual. 
Scorpiops leptochirus, sp.n. (Pl. XIV. fig. 11.) 
Colour nearly black ; cheliceree and vesicle infuscate, distal 
tarsal segment ferruginous. 
Carapace weakly granular, the ocular tubercle shallowly 
cleft, the eyes on it rather large and separated by a space 
which is rather larger than a diameter; the lateral eyes 
distinct, the posterior the smallest and close to the median 
one. 
Tergites studded with low, smooth, shining granules, a 
median granular keel ; the last with 4 short weak keels. 
Sternites smooth, the last furnished with 4 granular keels. 
Tail robust, less than three and a half times the length of 
the carapace, which is almost as long as the first two seements 
and halt the third, posteriorly attenuated; the second sezment 
as long as wide, the fourth about one fourth longer than wide, 
the fifth not twice the length of the second, the normal keels 
well developed and granular, the intercarinal spaces weakly 
granular, these granules arranged in a reticulated pattern ; 
* P Syn. solidus, Karsch.
