356 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 



broad at the base, with rather narrow, fairly pointed rostral portion. Pseudostigmata far 

 apart, pseudostigmatic organs very long and rather thick, flagelliform ; lateral projections 

 (tectopedia) sharply curved, uncate. The sub-globular abdomen is enveloped in a loose 

 fine-meshed net, with several curved hairs at its posterior border. The curved lines at 

 the junction of cephalothorax and abdomen constitute, apparently, an apparatus for the 

 attachment of the net. 



Legs moniliform and encrusted with flanges of detachable material. Monodactyle. 



Three specimens from moss, Mt Alphonse. 



The curious loosely fitting net over the abdomen occurs in no described species, but 

 some forms received from British Guiana have the same characteristic. 



25. Damceus complanatus, n. sp. (PL 19, fig. 20). 



Length about '6 mm. 



The whole dorsum of one level, the abdomen being flat, as though planed (see profile, 

 fig, 20 a). Cephalothorax sub-triangular, the lateral chitinous projections (tectopedia) 

 well developed. Pseudostigmata small and very far apart ; pseudostigmatic organs 

 flagelliform. Abdomeii nearly circular as seen fi^-om above. Legs long and slender, the 

 femora of legs 1-^3 encrusted with flanges of detachable material, giving them a 

 feathered appearance. 



One example from moss, Mt Sebert. 



Nothrinse. 



27. Hermannia nasata, n. sp. (PI. 18, fig. 16). 

 Length about '6 mm. 



Cephalothorax long, with elongate, sharp-pointed rostral portion. Pseudostigmata 

 situated far from the abdomen, pseudostigmatic organs short stout rods. Abdomen long, 

 parallel-sided for most of its length, but finally the sides converge and the end is 

 truncated. The whole abdomen is strongly reticulate. Legs strong, tridactyle 



Two specimens from moss, Mt Sebert. 



28. Neoleodes rugoms, n. sp. (PI. 19, fig. 22). 

 Length about 1'8 mm. 



Cephalothorax broad, divided by a transverse line into two regions of about equal 

 length, the anterior region smooth, the posterior rugged, and bearing the pseudostigmata, 

 which are rather near together, and white-rimmed. Pseudostigmatic organs short, sharp, 

 white spikes, black at the tip (fig. 22 a). Lateral chitmous projections behind the first legs 

 (tectopedia) prominent. Abdomen large, bluntly prominent postero-dorsally, covered by 

 sinuous rugosities, never, apparently, decorated by a succession of cast skins. Legs long 

 and strong, densely punctate, with scopulate tarsi. Leg 1 with pedunculate tarsus and 

 with the penultimate joint projecting somewhat over its base. Tridactyle. 



This large species was strongly represented in all the collections, in tubes, in moss, 

 and among the specimens mounted on card, and appears to be plentiful everywhere.
