long ; on eacli side of its u|)per surface a minute and rather 

 inconspicuous granule is present. Abdominal part of scutum 

 i'urnished with a low whitish rounded eminence in the middle, 

 of its surface. Palp armed with spines of the usual Phalan- 

 gogid type. [For their number and arrangement, see the 

 specific description.] Fourth coxa not so very much broader 

 than the third, instead of being very much broader than it, 

 as in the Gonyleptidjie.

Dorsal surface. Scutum. — Both ce])halothoracic and abdo- 

 minal parts slightly convex ; transverse grooves ill defined, 

 except the one wliich forms the boundary between the two 

 [)rincipal parts of the scutum and that which is placed just 

 in front of its posterior margin. [For the structure of tiie 

 ocular tubercle, see the generic description.] A low rounded 

 eminejice, which is sometimes circular, sometimes oval in. 

 shape, is situated in the middle of the abdominal part of the 

 scutum. Otherwise the scutum is almost smooth, for it has 

 only a few very minute and inconspicuous granules on its 

 surface, those of the transverse row, which occurs near the 

 posterior margin, being perhaps the most distinct. Free 

 dorsal seijments each with a transverse row of minute and in- 

 conspicuous granules. 



Ventral surface. — First coxa with a process in front, and 

 with a transverse series of rather large granules on its 

 anterior margin below, the outer ones being the largest. A 

 transverse series of obsolete granules is usually present on 

 the surface of each of the remaining coxse and a few granules 

 are also present on the sternites. 



Chelicera. — On the inner side of the dorsal surface of the 

 proximal segment two minute granules are present, and two 

 or three little granules, which are slightly more distinct, also 

 occur on the outer side. Second segment furnished vvitli 

 several granules on the inner side of its upper surface, but 

 with one or two exceptions they are quite obsolete. 



Palp armed with long spines. Trochanter with only two 

 minute granules below. Femur arnii d with an apical spine 

 on its inner side, and with a ventral row of four spines, the 

 two proximal ones being much larger than the other two. 

 Patella with a single spine on its inner side. Tibia with 

 two spines on its inner side, and sometimes it has also an 

 additional little denticle distally ; on its outer side there are 

 three spines and also a minute proximal denticle. Tarsus 

 with two spines on each side and a short apical spine on the
