PACHYBOLUS TECTUS, new species. 

 (J'luto LII, ligs. la-lh.) 



Type. — No. 2841, Haiiiburj;- Miiseiiin. 



Locality. — Zaii/ibar. 



Lciijitli, about ITiO mm.; greatest width oC male, 15 mm. at segment 

 (i; number of segments, 55. 



Color ofalcoLolie specimen doubtless laded ;<lark brown banded with 

 pinkish gray. 



Copulatory legs resembling those of /'. tof/oeiisis, especially the i)Os- 

 terior pair. The aperture of the duct opens on the margin of a broad 

 distal lobe, which is, however, mu(;h smaller than that of /*. tofjoensis, 

 and the whole appendiige is more slender than iji that species. 



A single male specimen was examined. It was broken into many 

 pieces, and was labeled ^'- ^pirobolus <raiisicolliNj Zanzibar.'' 



PACHYBOLUS GIGANTEUS (Porat).

This may or may not Ik; the species here (lesciil)i'd as l((minatHs,iiH 1 

 have seen no material from vSierra Leone, the habitat of the original 

 specimen of yiyanteus. In order to interrupt the series of false identifi- 

 cations i)roposed by Porat and I'oc^ock it has seemed best to describe 

 and figure as new all the sjiecies whose typ(\s could not be studied. 



Ty2ie. — Stockholm Museum. 



Locality. — Sierra Leone. Under the second reference the species is 

 redescribed from Liberia, but as Torat has admitted the existence of 

 but one species of this series, it is doubtful whether this reference will 

 hold. The Liberian species is doubtless that here described as lami- 

 natm. Under the second ami more extensive description no mention 

 is made of the Sieira Leone specimens, and in the original description 

 the characters of the copulatory legs are not given. The external char- 

 acters detailed by Porat are almost entirely geiu'ric.
