Sub-fainily Damaeinse. 

 Genus Amerus. 



18. A. speciosus sp. n. — Light brown, smooth, minutely granu- 

 lated. Pseudostigmata moderately wide apart. Pseudostigmatic 

 organs shortish, recurved, clavate. Interlamellar hairs long, seti- 

 form. Lamella? start from pseudostigmata and turn inwards, then 

 run parallel nearly the whole length of cephalothorax. They 

 inclose upon it, so to speak, a high plateau, which slopes down 

 and broadens out considerably posteriorly for the insertion of the 

 first pair of legs. On this plateau there is a curious long tri- 

 angular mark, its base towards the abdomen ; it extends halfway 

 down the cephalothorax, and at about the middle of its sides the 

 interlamellar hairs arise from small apophyses. A pair of long, 

 curved hairs (? rostral hairs) arise below the lamellae near their 

 anterior end. Abdomen long, rounded posteriorly, with two rows 

 of long, setiform, dorsal hairs, and a similar sparse marginal row. 

 Chitinous projections at side of body between legs 1, 2 ; 2, 3 ; 3, 4 ; 

 the second much the largest : it is sub-triangular, apex of triangle 

 inwards. Legs long and thin, tibia and tarsus especially looking 

 laterally compressed. Claws large, monodactyle. Anal plates 

 large, remote from genital, which are smaller. Size 1300 fi. Two, 

 living. Baghghora, 6000 ft. 



Sub-family Nothrinse. 



Genus Neoliodes. 



19. N. ocellatus sp. n. — Dark brown, rough, dull. Shape roughly 

 hexagonal. Cephalothorax broadly pyramidal, with a few indistinct 

 markings. Pseudostigmata characteristic ; they open upwards and 

 sideways, but the whole organ is seen, as it were, in optical section, 

 and the appearance is that of an irregular ovoid, nearly at right 

 angles to the median line, the smaller end being inwards. Pseudo- 

 stigmatic organs small, projecting, with thin peduncles and clavate 

 head. Abdomen pentagonal, with a rounded projection at posterior 

 extremity — this is a portion of the cast larval or nymphal noto- 

 gastral skins, which are carried excentrically. Legs thick and 

 rough, nearly all joints provided with horizontal blades : these are 

 light yellow and reticulated. Claws monodactyle. Size 630 /j, 

 long, 470 fju broad. As all known Neoliodes are tridactyle, this 

 specimen is not improbably a nymph. The monodactyle claw, 

 and the state of the genital plates, which hardly appear to be 

 functional, points to this being the case. The fully-grown nymph 

 closely resembles the adult form throughout this genus. One, 

 living. Baghghora, 6000 ft.
