^ . — The hand is scarcely as high as broad; the fingers 

 gape distinctly when closed, especially distally, on account 

 of a notch just behind the tip of the immovable finger; the 

 inner margin at least of the fingers with a number of acces- 

 sory teeth. The trochanter has posteriorly a lower, almost 

 subconical projection and an upper, bigger and more rounded 

 one. The legs are moderately short ; the femur of the 

 fourth pair is about 2-5 longer than high, and the tibia is 

 much longer than the tarsus, which bears a tactile hair near 

 the middle ; the lateral hairs, near the base of the simple 

 claws, are slightly curved and simple. 



$ . — The fingers of the palps gape slightly. 



I have examiued Keyserling's original specimens.

The last abdominal segment bears some " tactile " hairs. 

 Trochanter with well-marked exterior tubercles. The fingers 

 are almost as long as the broad hand, and bear a few acces- 

 sory teeth on the distal half. The first pair of legs, the femur 

 of wliich is 2-5 times longer than high, have the femur 

 proper, tibia, and tarsus of almost equal length ; the tarsus 

 of the fourth pair of legs with a dorsal '* tactile '^ hair in the 

 basal half near the middle. 



I have examined Keyserling's original specimens.
