296 Mr. R. I. Pocock on the Pedipalpi of the Family 



Legs with femora much less coarsely and more sparsely 

 granular. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 21 ; carapace, 

 median length 7, width 12'3, distance between eyes 4. Chela : 

 length of femur 20, of tibia 20*2. Legs : femur of first 23, 

 of second 14, of third 14*5, of fourth 13*3. 



Loc. Bombay (H. M. Phipson) , one specimen ; also a dried 

 example from the same locality (F. Moore) . 



The species P. Defiersi, P. Jayakari, and P. Phipsoni may 

 be recognized by the following table : — 



a. Ridge on upperside of trochanter of chela consisting 



of a series of small closely packed spinules. 



a 1 . The first spine on the tibia of the chela minute ; 

 two distinct spines on the lower side of this seg- 

 ment Deflersi, Sim. 



b l . The first spine on the tibia of the chela about two 

 thirds of the length of the second ; three distinct 

 spines on the lower edge of the segment Jayakari, sp. n. 



b. Ridge on upper edge of trochanter of chela consisting 



of a small number of larger and smaller spines; 



chelse dentate, almost as in Jayakari Thipsoni, sp. n. 



Phrynichus pusillus, sp. n. 



Colour. — Carapace reddish brown ; abdomen paler, without 

 pattern ; chelae reddish brown, the trochanter and the tarsus 

 fuscous ; legs not distinctly variegated. 



Belonging to the same group as lunatus (Pallas), but 

 differing in having the carapace much more coarsely, and at 

 the same time less closely, granular. The frontal process 

 invisible from above. 



Chelm closely resembling in spine-armature those of 

 P. lunatus, but there are two strong equal spines at the base 

 of the upperside of the femur. 



The half-moon-shaped appendages on the second abdo- 

 minal sternite obsolete, being merely represented by slight 

 folds of the integument. 



Measurements in millimetres. — $ . Total length 14 ; width 

 of carapace 9*8, median length 5*5, distance between eyes 3*5. 

 Chela : length of femur 15, of tibia 16. Legs : femur of 

 first 17*5, of second 11, of third 12, of fourth 11. 



$ . Total length 15 ; width of carapace 9 ; length of femur 

 and tibia of palp 19 ; femur of first leg 12, of second 8. 



Loc. Punduloya, Ceylon (E. E. Green) ; Ceylon (Key-
