to the usual hairs, arranged without order. Besides, the 

 eleventh sternite possesses a great many (about 200) round 

 spots, each ^yith a median fissure, raueh smaller than the 

 usual 'Myriform'^ fissures; the corresponding tergite bears 

 a smaller number, and the tenth sternite about 70. 



The genital area (PI. VIII. fig. 3 d) is similar to that of 

 Chelifer birmanicus, Thor., with a short backwardly curved 

 third (?) sternite, and a long and broad anterior plate, 

 between which is the opening; under the front plate several 

 internal chitinous organs are seen. 



Antennce (fig. 3 c). — The flageUum probably consists of 

 four hairs, like that of the female. The immovable finger 

 bears three low blunt teeth just behind the tip, and there- 

 after five larger, decreasing in size backwards. The lamina 

 e.vterior is well marked, and so is the lamina interior, the 

 serruliform portion of which consists of six dentated lobes ; 

 the terminal spine bears many teeth internally. The short 

 galea is provided with a few teeth (PI. VIII. fig. 3 c) : the 

 serrula exterior (fig. 3 c) is very long and consists of 37 teeth, 

 which are almost completely fused; the basal tooth is a good 

 deal longer, enlarged distally, and provided with a mem- 

 branous plate. 



Maxilla. — The pointed distal portion of the maxillae is 

 well marked and provided with a broad lamina. 



Palps (PI. IX. figs. 1 a-d). — The palps are everywhere, 

 with the exception of the stalks and partly of the fingers, 

 provided with low granules ; short and slender, but not quite 

 simple, hairs are abundant; the tibia bears on the outer 

 side near the base a pair of longer pointed hairs, and the 

 fingers some tactile hairs. The trochanter, which is somewhat 

 longer than broad, is provided with a distinct stalk. The 

 inner margin is strongly convex ; the outer surface possesses a 

 high tubercle; the upper a similar one near exterior margin ; 

 there is a deep cleft between them. The upper tubercle 

 (figs. 1 a-b), which is directed upwards and slightly outwards, 

 is triangular and as high as trochanter is long, if measured 

 from lower margin of segment to its top. The outer and 

 lower tubercle is shorter, and its broad triangular base 

 merges into a rather slender but blunt terminal projection 

 (fig. 1 a). The femur, which is twice as long and somewhat 

 higher than broad, is wider than the trochanter and pro- 

 vided with a distinct stalk ; the latter merges gradually into 

 the moderate convexity of the inner margin, Avhich is 

 foUoAved by a slight concavity ; the outer surface is i-egu- 

 larly convex from the base to the tip. The upper side is 

 much more suddenly and strongly convex than the outer^
