others and tlie second leg much the longest. A little granule 

 is present on the dorsal surface of the trochanter of the first 

 leg, and this segment has two rather long setiferous processes 

 or spines (and also two or three granules) on its lower 

 surface. Femur of first leg armed with spines both above 

 and below. Tarsal segments 3, 4, 5, ?. C-laws of posterior 

 legs unarmed. 



Colour (faded) rather pale, but the dorsal surface is marked 

 Avith darker specks and little patches. Femora, tibias, and 

 the proximal end of the metatarsi of the legs conspicuously 

 variegated with pale and dark bands. 



Measiiremenis in vim. — Length of trunk 2*5, of scutum 2"25. 



Material. — A single adult male from the Baram River, 

 collected by Dr. W. Kiikenthal.

Scutum very slightly longer than the tibia of the second 

 leg and as long as the patella -H the tibia of the fourth. It has 

 four transverse grooves, the first being strongly procnrved. 

 The cephalothoracic ]oart is large, its length being a little 

 greater than that of the abdominal part ; it has the three 

 usual tooth-like processes on the anterior margin. Several 

 little granules occur on each side near the anterior margin. 

 There is a pair of fairly long thorns on the second of the 

 abdominal areas of the scutum, and a lateral tooth-like 

 process is sometimes present on each side of the last division. 

 The greater part of the surface of the scutum is smooth, but 

 a longitudinal series of minute granules runs down each side 

 of it and the last area has a transverse series of minute 

 granules; in one specimen the central granule of this trans- 

 verse series is slightly larger than the others. Ocular tubercle 

 situated practically in the middle of the cephalothoracic part 

 of the scutum ; the thorn is shorter than the transverse width 

 of the tubercle. 



Each of the first three of the free dorsal segments has a 

 transverse series of granules, and sometimes the central 

 granule is larger than the others. The last free dorsal 

 segment is devoid of granulation. 



Ventral surface. — A number of granules are present on the 

 surface of the coxa of the first leg, most of them being very 

 large and conical and arranged in a single transverse row. 

 The second coxa has a transverse series of obsolete granules. 

 There are not any distinct granules on the remaining coxffi 

 nor on the sternites. 



Chelicera. — Proximal segment long and almost cylindrical
