short, thick, aud provided with spines distally ; those which 

 are placed on the ventral surfaces of the tarsi are long, 

 slender, and almost or completely simple; the troclumter 

 bears also some longer and pointed hairs beneath. The 

 dorsal '' tactile " hair of the fourth pair of legs is placed 

 near the tip. All the tarsi bear at least one hair, which is 

 rather long and slender, on each side just above the base of 

 the claws; besides these hairs there is on each side a differ- 

 ently shaped bifurcated hair. The posterior of these hairs, 

 "which seems to be alike on all the tarsi, is moderately long 

 and divided near the tip into two branches, of which the lower 

 and longer one is directed upwards and curved downwards, 

 "while the upper one is short aiul similar to a short tooth. The 

 anterior hairhasthe lower branch short and straight on at least 

 the fourth pair ; that of the first pair of legs seems to bear 

 several tiny teeth distally. The two long claws of the fourth 

 pair of legs are as long as the areola and are armed with an 

 anterior strong tooth. The anterior claw of the first pair is 

 rather long and slender without any tooth, while the poste- 

 rior is exceedingly long and slender, bearing an insignificant 

 tooth inside. The claws of the second paii- of legs bear 

 comparatively well -developed teeth. The tibia of the first 

 pair is only a trifle longer than the tarsus, which is broadest 

 in the middle (fig. 4^), while the tibia of the fourth pair is 

 considerably longer than the corresponding tarsus. 



Colour. — The hand is reddish brown, the other joints, in- 

 cluding the maxilhe, are lighter, and so is the head ; the 

 thorax and abdominal tergites are yellowish brown with the 

 less chitinized portions paler ; the ventral side aud legs are 

 yellowish.

$ . Cephalothorax. — The cephalothorax is as broad behind 

 as it is long. The eyes and transverse grooves seem to be 

 more distinct. 



Abdomen. — The selerites of the fourth sternite arc short 

 and widely separated from each other ; many short pointed 

 hairs along the hindmost margin of the sternite ; the third 

 sternite bears a similar row of hairs, and in front of the
