.304 Mr. R. I. Pocock on some new or 



Log. Western India, Poona and Khandeisli {Bombay Nat. 

 Hist. See). 



The male of this species may be at once recognized from that 

 of (7 . rw/esce/js, Pocock (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xx. p. 271 

 (1897), sub Blossta), from. S. Arabia, by the longer terminal 

 fang of the upper jaw, the small size of the first two teeth, 

 the shorter palpi and legs, and the different form of the 

 modified hairs on the second abdominal sternum. In G. ru- 

 fescens the palpi are about seven times as long as the width 

 of the head (21 : 3), and the fourth leg more than eigiit times 

 as long (26 : 3), and the modified bristles on the abdomen are 

 short and strongly clavate. 



The species described by me as Paracleobis JBalfouri and 

 Paradeohis nigrijalpis fall into the genus Gluviopsis, as 

 Kraepelin has already suggested. 



Genus PSEUDOCLEOBIS, nov. 



Differing from Cleobis, Sim., as recently restricted and 

 defined by Kraepelin (Jahrb. Ilamb. Wiss. Anst. xvi. pp. 223- 

 227, 1899) in the following particulars: — 



The tibia and protarsus of the palp are furnished below 

 with short paired spines in both sexes. In the male the third 

 tooth of the upper jaw is larger than the first and much larger 

 than the second, which is minute and lodged in between the 

 other two. In the female the third tooth is also larger than 

 the first and second, but its basal width is less than that of 

 these two teeth taken together. 



Also allied to Mumtnuoia, but having the fourth tarsus 

 distinctly trisegmented. 



Type P. andinus, Pocock *. 



Pseudochobis alticola, sp. n. (Figs. 8, 8 a.) 



(^ . — Closely resembling P. andinus in colour, but rather 

 more deeply infuscate. Differing from that species in having 

 no crest on the superior side of the upper jaw of the mandible 

 and in the shortness of the palpi. In P. andinus the patella 

 of the palp and of fourth leg are a little more than twice as 

 long as the width of the head ; in P. alticola these segments 

 are barely twice the width of the head. 



$ . — Tarsi of second and third legs with 4 pairs of spines 

 and 1 basal anterior spine ; of fourth with 6 pairs of spines, 2 

 pairs on the basal, 1 pair on the median segment, and three 

 at the apex of the third segment ; tibia of these legs with 

 3 posterior and 2 anterior spines, without superior spines as 

 in P. andinus.
