Plate 29, fig. 4 a, from a Madeira specimen, enlarged two diameters ; 

 b, hand of same ; c, part of left leg of third pair, ibid. ; d, from a Ta- 

 hiti specimen, enlarged four diameters; e, hand, side view, of same; /, 

 part of left leg of third pair, ibid. 



Madeira and Porto Praya, Cape Verds; also, Tahiti, Society 

 Islands. 



Length, three-fourths of an inch. The alcoholic specimens from 

 Madeira, have no bandings in the colour; the dark reddish brown 

 shade indicates that they were of a uniform dark tint, excepting the 

 tarsi, these being white for three-fourths the length, and then brown- 

 ish red at base of claw, with the claw black. The specimen from 

 Tahiti, a dried one, has the legs dark blue, but not striped with 

 colour. The upper surface of the carpus partakes of the flattening 

 that characterizes the hand, and has the same short conical spines. 

 The eyes are as long as the base of the outer antennae, but a little 

 shorter than the base of the inner. The species differs from the 

 virescens in being less hairy, the legs more compressed, the outer sur- 

 face of the third and second pairs of legs naked, the tarsus also much 

 more flattened and wider at base. It is nearer the incequalis of De 

 Haan (Faun. Japon., 210, Plate 50, fig. 2), but the right hand is not 

 the larger, or if exceeding the left in size, as is rarely observed, it is 

 but slightly larger; commonly the hands are equal, or the left is a 

 little the longer.
