with rounded granules ; the anal border elevated and den- 

 ticulated, the superior tooth enlarged. Vesicle large, wider 

 than the fifth segment, its height greater than the height of 

 any of the caudal segments, smooth, except for a few granules 

 below ; aculeus about half tlie length of the vesicle, slightly 

 curved at the apex, its distal half rather sharply marked oflf 

 from the basal. 



Cheliceroi finely granular above. 



Palpi. — Humerus smooth behind, granular below, more 

 coarsely granular above, tubercular in front, the two anterior 

 keels conspicuous ; hracMum furnished with 5 distinct 

 granular keels, the superior-anterior keel strong, the inferior- 

 anterior denticulate, the anterior surface furnished above 

 basally with a denticulate crest, studded with rounded granules 

 below ; manus not widely rounded and posteriorly produced 

 internally, not twice as wide as the brachium, strongly 

 convex from the keel of the hand-back to the inner edge, 

 furnished with 7 strong, thickly and rather coarsely granular 

 keels, and one weaker keel on the inner (anterior) aspect of the 

 hand, the intercarinal spaces more weakly and less thickly 

 granular than the keels ; length of the hand-back greater 

 than the width of the hand and a little less than the length of 

 the movable digit ; digits short, thickly granular at the base ; 

 furnished with ten rows of denticles. 



Legs. — Femora of the third and fourth pairs externally 

 granular ; the distal tibial segment always longer than the 

 proximal, and in the legs of the foui-th pair about twice as 

 long, this distal segment furnished behind with a series of 

 four or five spicules, thickly hairy ; feet also thickly hairy, 

 with a spicule at the base of each of the seta forming the 

 lateral series on the soles of the feet. 



Sternum longer than wide. 



Pectines short, furnished with 4 teeth.

carapace 5*5, of tail 22 ; width of first segment 3, of fiftli 2,

 width of brachium 2*3, of manus 3*8 j length of lumd-back

At once recognizable from C. varicgatus, Sim., and hor- 

 neensis, JSim., by its narrower hands (the width of these 

 organs in the latter two species being greater than the length 

 of the hand-back) and also by the greater strength of the 

 hand-keels and of the granulation. From truncatiir<i, Karsch, 

 which it might be expected to resemble, it may be easily
