SCORPIOPS. 75 



humerus, only as wide as the intercarinal area of its upper surface. 

 Chelce with humerus as loug as carapace ; width of hand almost 

 half the length of the underhand, which is as long as the movable 

 finger and longer than the carapace ; width of dorsal area of hand 

 between the keels about one-third the length of the movable 

 finger ; finger more strongly lobate than in S. anthracinus. Pectinal 

 teeth 8. 



Measurements in mm. of type. Total length 68, carapace 12, tail 

 37, hinnerus 12-3, underhand 13, movable finger 13, width of hand 

 6'5, of its dorsal intercarinal area 4*2. 



Loc. Mt. Mooleyit in Tenasserim (Feet), also the North Chin 

 Hills in Upper Burma (Watson). 



Scorpiops Iw/ubris, Thorell (Ann. Mus. Geneva, xxvii, p. 579), 

 was based upon an immature specimen of the genus from the same 

 locality as the type of S. lindstroemii. In all probability it is the 

 young of that species. It has 7 pores on the lower side of the hand. 

 An immature specimen from the North Chin Hills in Upper Burma 

 closely resembles the type of S. lugubris. 



The following species, which I have not seen, has been omitted 

 from the table : 



62. Scorpiops affinis, Kraep. Jb. Hamb. iciss. Anst. xv, p. 44, 1898 ; id. 

 Tierr., Scorp. etc. p. 182, 1899. 



" Resembling Sc. hardwicJcii in size, colour, &c., but with the 

 keels of the chela3 granular. Hand with finger-keel and keel of 

 underhand coarsely granular ; iuner border not limited throughout 

 by a smooth keel, but marked with a row of stronger granules ; 

 inner horizontal portion of upper side of hand covered with 

 numerous isolated rounded granules like those of the outer 

 surface. Fourth abdominal sternum coarsely punctured, almost as 

 in a thimble. Pectinal teeth 5-7. 



" Loc. Himalaya." 



This species is evidently nearly related to S. crassimanus, and 

 according to the characters cited should fall under heading a 3 of the 

 synopsis. Nothing, however, is said respecting the prominence 

 of the inner edge on the upper surface of the hand. Sc. crassi- 

 manus, moreover, is a larger species than S. hardwickii, and the 4th 

 abdominal sternum is not punctured in the way described as 

 characteristic of S. affinis. Hence the two species must for the 

 present be regarded as distinct.
