236 On new Solifugce and Pedipalpi. 



M. giganleus, Lucas. Fang of ckelicera very similar in shape 

 to that ot AI. fjiyanteus. 



Palp much more slender than that of M. maximus, 

 Tarnani, especially the tibia and hand, the latter being a 

 little less than twice as long as wide. Trochanter not very 

 strongly wrinkled and granular above; it has five spines 

 above, the outermost one being much the longest (tig. 5) ;

the two spines of the ventral surface are well developed, the 

 outer being much the longer. Femur shining and smooth 

 above, except for some granules towards the inner side; the 

 punctures are fine above, but below they are larger and more 

 distinct. Tibia and hand also smooth and polished ; the 

 punctures are quite fine and rather sparse on these segments ; 

 those on the hand_, however, are slightly more distinct than 

 those on the tibia. Tibial apophysis very long and rather 

 slender. A distinct excavation is present at the base of the 

 edge of the immovable finger of the hand, and a slightly 

 enlarged conical granule at the base of the edge of the 

 movable finger. A rather large and sharply pointed tooth is 

 placed on the ventral surface of the hand near to the point 

 of attachment of the movable finger. 



$ . PaJp with its segments less elongate and more 

 distinctly punctured than is t>he case in the male ; its tro- 

 chanter has six spines above, but the additional (outer) spine 

 is minute and is situated at a little distance from the others; 

 the spine of the angle is the longest, its length being slightly 

 greater than that of the larger of the two outer spines (rig. 6). 

 Immovable finger of normal shape. 



Legs. — Second segment of tarsus of first leg longer than 

 the third, instead of being shorter than it, as is the case in
