by the hiutlmost margin of the preceding tergite. The de- 

 pressions described are minutely granular in a similar manner 

 as is the head. The eleventh tergite is smooth. 



Sternites. — Tlie fifth to the eleventh sternites increase 

 both in length and in breadth towards the middle. Both 

 the fourth and the third sternites are more or less covered 

 by the fourth pair of coxae. The sclerites of the former 

 are distinctly narrower and only half as long as those of the 

 fifth ; the sclerite of the third sternite is almost a mere 

 line. The sclerites of the sternites seem to be smooth, are 

 provided with a hinder row of numerous, short, and almost 

 simple hairs, and are divided by a narrow longitudinal line. 



Antenna. — The minute organs of the small antennse were 

 so badly preserved on the dried specimen at my disposal 

 that I could not examine their structure in detail. The 

 fiageUvm is composed of three (?) moderately long, curved, 

 and slender hairs, of which the anterior one is provided with 

 about five distal and marginal teeth. The margin of the 

 immovable finger is provided with two minute dorsal teeth 

 just behind the tip and more proximally five larger but of 

 unequal size. A distinct but narrow lamina exterior is 

 present as well as a lamina interior, the serruliform distal 

 portion of which seems to differ from that usually found 

 in Chelifer. The galea is rather long and slender, distally 

 provided with about seven short, blunt, and slightly curved 

 teeth. The serrula exterior is similar to that found in 

 Ch. claviger, Thor. ; it consists of about thirty, almost com- 

 pletely fused teeth, of which the basal one is the longest 

 and widened out distally ; the terminal tooth is also com- 

 paratively long and slender. 



Maxillae. — The maxillas are placed on a level with the coxse ; 

 they are strongly raised in the middle, pointed in the front, 

 and, at least in some specimens, Mith large granules laterally. 



Palps (figs. 2d-e). — A minute granulation, similar to that 

 of the head, seems to be wanting, but the whole surface 

 is thickly studded with subconical tubercles ; these tubercles 

 are comparatively low on the trochanter, and almost want- 

 ing on the ventral side of the femur and tibia ; some few 

 low ones are found at the basal \ ortion of the hand. Each 

 tubercle bears a moderately long, stiflp, and clavate hair near 

 the tip ; the hairs of the hands, especially those of the inner 

 side, are more slender, not clavate, but only provided with 

 some few distal sjnncs. This kind of hair is gradually 

 merging into the simple and pointed hairs of the fingers, and 

 is not to be confounded with tactile hairs. On the lingers of 

 a cast skin (fig. 2 e) 1 observed in number a kind of organs
