98 Mr. C. J. With on Chelonetlii 



From Funafuti : Garypus longidigitatus, Rainbow ; Obisium 

 antipodum, Sim. (?). 



From Sanchvich Islands : Ch.b'ifissvs, Sim. (?) ; Ch. haivai- 

 iensis, Siui.; Ch. pacificvs, sp. n. ; Garypus personatus, Sim. 



From Laysan : Ch. laysanensis, Sim. 



I will prove later on (p. 100) that it is doul)tful if the 

 specimens of Ch. bifissus, Sim., from Sumatra and Hawaii 

 really are the same species. The occurrence of Ch. scorpi- 

 oides, Herm. (Daday, 4, p. ■477), in New Guinea and Obisium 

 ontipoduin, Sim. (Rainbow, 5, p. 108), at Funafuti cannot be 

 accepted without further investigation. Olpium (Ampli- 

 olpium) lotigiventer, Keys., has been found on Hawaii and 

 Funafuti according to Simon (g, p. 519) and Poco(;k (6, 

 p. 321). I have examined the original specimens determined 

 by these two naturalists, and a detailed investigation has 

 convinced me that they are different from each other as well 

 as from Olpium longiventer, Keys., and are most naturally 

 referred to the genus Garypinus, Daday. 



Description of Species. 



Under the heading " Measurements '' in the following 

 descriptions the first figure in each case gives the greatest 

 length of the organ referred to. The figures within brackets 

 give, in the case of the body, antennae, and palps, the breadth, 

 or, when there are two figures, the greatest and least breadth. 

 In the case of the legs the figures within brackets refer to 

 the height of the joints.

Cephalothorax. — The eyes are indistinct. The cephalo- 

 thorax, which is slightly longer than broad, possesses two 

 rather indistinct transverse grooves, which are almost straight. 

 The second thoracic tergite has an indistinct longitudinal 

 line. The smooth and brilliant skin bears short and dentated. 

 hairs. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen, which is longer than broad^ has 

 the tergitcs of almost equal length as well as breadth, with 

 the exception of the first three, which are shoz'tcr. The 

 second to the tenth scleritcs are divided by an indistinct 

 longitudinal line ; the sclerites are almost smooth and with a 

 hindmost marginal row^ of rather long hairs, with some distal 

 teeth : the median segments possess at least one lateral hair
