lO';"); wiiltli of bracluum 3*."), of iiaml IS; lengtii of haiul- 

 back 11, of movable tligit 9*5. 



f.oc. Ladak (Cashmere), a single male example. 



Ditlers from truncatus of Karscli in having the tergites 

 granular instead of smooth ; from the two species just 

 described by the fine granulation of the terj^ites ; from pictus 

 by the difference in shape of the poison-vesicle, &c. 



Chcerilus ceylonensis, sp. n. 



Colour a uniform dull brown ; tlic digits, ocular tubercle, 

 front edge of carapace, and the keels on the manus black. 



Carapace a little longer than the first two caudal segments, 

 wider than long, granular throughout, with the exception of 

 some smooth sulci ; ocular tubercle granular, without a trace 

 of a sulcus, not distinctly defined in front, but produced 

 behind ; tiie eyes small, separated by a space which is greater 

 than a diameter, and situated near the anterior extremity of 

 the tubercle ; the frontal region narrow and slightly depressed ; 

 lateral eyes subcontiguous. 



Chelicer(B finely granular above. 



Palpi. — Humerus convex above, smooth only behind, 

 coarsely granular above; hracJtium coarsely granular above, 

 finely granular above in front, the lower surface finely 

 granular behind, coarsely granular in front ; manus covered 

 with a reticulated pattern of very fine granules, thickly and 

 very finely granular on the keels and at the base of the digits, 

 the keels normal in number, of average strength and equal 

 develoj)ment ; the hand nearly parallel- sided, only a little 

 narrower distally, not so strongly produced posteriorly as in 

 C. variegatus ; length of the hand-back greater than the width 

 of the hand and greater than the length of the movable digit, 

 which is a little shorter than the width of the hand ; width of 

 the immovable digit at the base equal to two thirds of its 

 length; with 11-12 rows of teeth on the digits. 



Lfgs with femora externally granular. 



Tergites granular throughout, but not even obsoletely 

 keeled ; the last, however, very feebly crested. 



Sternites smooth, the last only very weakly granular 

 laterally. 



Tail about four times as long as the carapace, rather 

 slender, the second segmei\t as long as wide, the third a little 

 longer than wide, the fifth more than twice as long as wide ; 

 segments 1-4 with 8 granular keels each ; the inferior median, 

 however, nearly obsolete on the first, but the median lateral 

 distinct and granular on this segment, but only visible on the
