100 Mr. R. I. Pocock on the Species of 



Judging from the example which M. Simon has kindly 

 sent to me for examination, the specimen, which he identified 

 as B. Herbstii^ Thorell, is the male of B. Oervaisii. 



In connexion with B. Herbstii of Simon, I ventured to 

 suggest (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xii. p. 79, 1893) that 

 in the description of the first caudal segment the word dessus 

 might prove to be a misprint for dessous. An examination 

 of an actual specimen establishes the correctness of the suppo- 

 sition. 



Broteas granimanus, sp. n. 



Colour. — Body, palpi, and tail nearly black ; vesicle and 

 legs blackish brown. 



Carapace covered with close-set scale-like granules, finer 

 on the interocular triangle. 



Tergites coarsely coriaceous and beset with granules in their 

 posterior half ; the last more coarsely granular than the others, 

 its keels represented by a few granules. 



Sternites mesially polished, finely punctulate, granular 

 external to the stigma, the last smooth in the middle, granular 

 at the sides. 



Tail rather more than four times as long as the carapace ; 

 first segment punctured below in the middle, the median 

 keels obsolete; the rest of the keels and the intercarinal 

 spaces granular; vesicle serially granular below and at the 

 sides, smooth and punctured above, as wide as or slightly 

 narrower than fifth caudal segment. 



Palpi granular above and below, less coarsely below than 

 above ; hand closely granular throughout ; length of hand- 

 back less than width of hand ; movable digit a little shorter 

 than carapace. 



Legs externally granular. 

 Pectin al teeth 11-12. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 57, of cara- 

 pace 8, of tail 35. 



Loc. Upper Surinam River, Dutch Guiana (C. W. Ella- 

 combe) . 



The males of this species differ from the males of all the 

 species known to me in having the uppersides of the hands 

 covered with bead-like granules.
