that of the body, and is slender and cylindrical, but the distal 

 end is a little stouter than the rest of the segment ; except 

 for a little conical granule, which is situated on the ventral 

 surface near the proximal end, the femur is quite unarmed. 

 Patella very long; it is unarmed and is slender and cylin- 

 drical almost throughout its length, only the extreme distal 

 end being enlarged. Tibia and tarsus fiiirly stout ; they are 

 bent in such a manner that the spines of the one segment 

 work against those of the other, as in Hinzuanius &c. Tibia 

 provided with three inner spines, all oL' which are long, the 

 one which is placed nearest to the distal end being the 

 shortest ; on its outer side it has six spines, some of which 

 are long and others short. Tarsus with three inner spines 

 and four or five outer spines ; tliis segment has also a number 

 of sharply pointed denticles in the middle of its lower 

 surface. 



Legs 2, 4, 3, 1 ; the trochanters of the anterior legs each 

 have a little granule on their upper surface and three granules 

 on their lower surface ; all the other segments of the legs 

 are quite smooth and without either granules or spines. 

 Tarsal segments 11-12, 30-32, 11, 11-13. Claws of the 

 posterior legs unarmed. 



Colour. — Body and appendages dark brown, but the tibia 

 and tarsus of the palp are pale brown and the distal ends of 

 the metatarsi and the entire length of the tarsi of the legs 

 are quite pale. 



Measurements in mm. — Length of trunk 7, of scutum 5'5, 

 of first leg (from base of femur) 20*25, of second 37, of 

 third 26*5, of fourth 34'5, of femur of palp 7, of patella of 

 palp 4" 7 5. 



Material. — A single adult example of the female sex, 

 collected by Dr. W. Kiikenthal. No exact locality is given 

 for this specimen, but it is probably either from Borneo or 

 Halmaheira.

The palp of this curious little species resembles that of 

 Acudorsum alhhnanum, Loman, very closely in structure, the 

 armature of the femur and the shape of the patella being very 

 similar in these two species and somewhat different to what 

 they are in the other species of Hinzuanius which I have 

 had the opportunity of examining. In //. iiarvulus the 

 tarsus of the palp is quite as dark as the tibia and there is
