78 Mr. R. I, Pocock on 



face nearly flat and its edges squared, and the median lateral 

 keel almost smooth and the inferior keels weakly f^ranular ; 

 vesicle smooth, flat above, convex below, as wide as the fifth 

 segment and a trifle higher ; aculeus short, stout at the base, 

 lightly curved in its distal half. 



Palpi longish, flat ; the humerus covered with granules 

 above, much more finely granular below, the keels coarsely 

 granular, the anterior surface with a median granular keel 

 extending throughout its length ; hrachium granular, like the 

 humerus, with a strong spine on its anterior surface and a 

 smaller one above it ; a series of 12 pores on its lower surface ; 

 hand not twice as thick as the brachium, the upper surface 

 covered with a reticulated pattern of fine granules, the keels 

 which bound this surface distinctly granular, the anterior 

 surface finely granular, the rest of it coriaceous, the keels 

 bounding the hand-back granular ; the movable digit shorter 

 than the hand-back. 



Legs finely granular externally. 



Sternum of cephalothorax flat and about as wide as long. 



Pectines short, with 6-7 teeth. 



^ . Carapace as long as the first three segments of the 

 tail and about one third of the length of the whole tail. 



Vesicle larger, thicker than the fifth and almost as thick as 

 the second segment, and higher than any of the segments. 



Palpi very long and slender {cf. measurements), the 

 movable digit with a tooth in the proximal half of its length, 

 the immovable correspondingly notched. 



Pectines larger, with longer teeth. 



Measurements of $ . — Total length 36 millim. ; length of 

 carapace 6, of tail 16, of its fifth segment 4*2, of vesicle and 

 aculeus 4; width of first segment 2, of fifth 1*3; length of 

 humerus 5*8, of brachium 6, of hand-back 6'8, of movable 

 digit 6*5 ; width of hand 4, of brachium 2'5. 



(J • — Total length 38 millim. ; length of carapace 5*8, of 

 tail 17"5, of its fifth segment 4*5, of vesicle and aculeus o, of 

 humerus 7, of brachium 6, of hand-back 7'2, of movable 

 digit 5"5 ; width of hand 3, of brachium 2"2. 



Log. Deccan (India). 



This species is very distinct from all the known species of 

 the genus in its strong superficial resemblance to Eu$c<)rpius 

 or Hormurus. It is, liowcvcr, a genuine Scorpiops ; the only 

 characters in which it appears to differ from the rest of this 

 genus are merely connected with the flatness of its build, and 

 are not, to my mind, of gouoric impurtaucc.
