yellow. 



(i^. Humerus and brachium of chela not 



strongly mottled with black, almost 



entirely pale ecuadorensis, Kraep. 



(From Loja.) 

 b^. Humerus and brachium heavily infus- 



cate zarumce, nov. (Sub- 

 specific form from Zaruma.) 

 b^. Mostly a uniform blackish colour ; not 

 variegated.

 weakly granular, its crests also weak; 

 sterna weakly granular ; hand narrow, 



but strongly keeled Rosenbergi, sp. n. 



(Cachavi.) 

 ¥. Tail thick, fourth and fifth segments 

 wider than first ; the intercarinal 

 spaces coarsely and thickly granular ; 

 the upper keels of segments 2 to 5 

 denticulate ; hand broader, weakly

 ular ; granules of caudal keels few and

 granular ; granules of caudal keels 

 weak and numerous ; scarcely a trace
