the Scorpions of India, 81 



scpanitecl hy the coarseness of tin- i;r;iiiul;itioii of the tergites, 

 these ])hites in truncatus beiiiij tlescribcl as smooth ; from 

 cacernico/iij I'ocock, and celebensis, Pocoek, by the coarse 

 granuhition of the palpi and the great development of tlie 

 keels of these appendages. In celebensis, moreover, the 

 distance between the median eyes is less than a diameter and 

 the median keel on the ujiper surface of the hand is partially 

 obsolete; the anterior inferior caudal keels are scarcely 

 visible, the ujjjjcr margins of the fifth segment are more 

 rounded, and the -whole tail is much short^ir, &c. ; and in 

 cavernicola there are 14 rows of teeth along the digits of the 

 palpi, Sec. Supposing this species to be the female of G.pictus, 

 Pocoek, it yet differs in the coarse granulation of the tergites 

 and in the absence from them of incipient keels. 



Cha-rilus genunifer^ sp. n. 



Allied to C. margan'tatus. 



Colour blackish, variegated with brownish red. 



Trunk ornamented with coarse granulation as in margari- 

 tatuSy but the granulation rather coarser ; the tergites dis- 

 tinctly furnished with incipient tubercular keels. 



Tail about the same length as in margaritatus^ but not so 

 thick, both the second and third segments being slightly 

 longer than wide; all the keels rather weaker than in marga- 

 ritatuSf and with the granulation or denticulation less strong, 

 but the upper surface of the segments, including the fifth, is 

 distinctly granular; so, too, are the lateral and inferior 

 surfaces, with the exception of the lower surface of the first 

 and second segments, coarsely granular, and the median 

 lateral keel is visible on the second and third segments ; the 

 edges of the fifth are less squared : the vesicle is narrow, 

 elongate, and depressed, its width is equal to the width of the 

 fifth, but its height is a little less than the height of tliis 

 segment ; it is, moreover, granular below, above, and at the 

 sides ; tlie aculeus is short, its basal portion not being sharply 

 marked off from the vesicle. 



Palpi less strongly carinate and granular than in margari- 

 tatus; the hands less convex above, but a little wider, being- 

 only a trifle narrower than the length of the hand-back, the 

 intercarinal granulation being arranged in a very distinct 

 reticulated pattern. 



Pectinal teeth 3-4. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 38 ; length of 

 carapace 6, of tail 24 ; width of brachium 2, of manus 4*2 ; 

 length of hand-back 4'5, of movable digit o'3. 



Two dry female exam[)les from 8ilhet.
