124 Mr. A. G. Butler on the Genus Phrynus. 



third specimen, however, is of an olive-green colour, with the 

 stigmatiform depressions on the abdomen and the spines on 

 palpi pale ochraceous. It must, I think, have been killed in 

 an immature condition. 



P. longicornis is allied to P. gorgo, and agrees with P. chei- 

 racanthus in the terminal spines on femora, and with P. gra- 

 nulosus in the toothing of the mandibles. 



24. Phrynus coronatus, n. sp. PI. VII. figs. 8, 9. 



Cephalothorax pitchy or reddish castaneous, irregularly 

 reniform, distinctly truncated in front ; the anterior margin 

 dentate-serrate (the larger denticles, about sixteen in number, 

 pale ochreous), coarsely granulated all over; median sulcus 

 sharply defined ; lateral radiating grooves about five on each 

 side ; central oculiferous tubercle very prominent, subovate, 

 black ; eyes wide apart, pale yellow ; lateral tubercles small ; 

 eyes yellow. Abdomen dull pitchy, crossed by dirty ochreous 

 bands, or castaneous, more or less granulated transversely. 

 Legs covered with short hairs ; the femora dirty reddish ochra- 

 ceous, becoming darker towards the knee, and then suddenly 

 ochraceous, covered with coarse dark granules, which are more 

 or less denticulate above and below ; terminal compressed 

 spine on exterior margin well developed; tibiae and tarsi 

 reddish pitchy, more or less finely granulated ; palpi reddish 

 ochraceous, covered above and more sparsely below with 

 distinct blackish granules ; coxge smooth ; mandibular process 

 prominent; trochanters with three spines on their anterior 

 surface, one emitted from anteroinferior angle longest, also 

 a number of small denticles, all blackish ; femoral joint semi- 

 cylindrical, bearing a number of spines on its internal margins 

 — ten, moderately long, on the superior, and six, rather longer, 

 on its inferior margin, besides a number of smaller spines : 

 tibial joint three-sided, sparsely covered with short hairs ; in- 

 ternal surface flattened, its superior margin bearing fourteen 

 black-tipped spines, the first, third, fifth, sixth, and eighth 

 very short, the seventh and thirteenth moderately long, the 

 ninth and eleventh longest (2^ lines) ; twelve spines on the 

 inferior margin, the second, fourth, ninth, and twelfth some- 

 what prominent, the seventh and tenth moderately long
