ISO Mr. R. I. Pocock on new Genera and 



Genus Omothymus, Thorell. 

 Omothjmus, Thor. K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Ilandl. xxiv. no. 2, p. 11 (1891). 



Type, 0. Schiadtei, Thorell, from Pinang, 



The British Museum has specimens (male and female) 

 of this genus. The female from Pinang is probably to be 

 named Schicedtei; possibly also the male, which has no nearer 

 locality than East Indies, is the same species. At all events 

 it does not differ apparently in any characters that are to be 

 relied upon from the male of Schioedtei as described by 

 Thorell. 



Genus Oenithoctonus, Poc. 



Ornithoctonus Andersoniij Poc. 

 Ornithoctonus Andersonii, Poc. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. xxiv. pp. 317, 

 318, pi. xxii. tigs. 1-3 (1892). 



Loc. Mergui ; also Burma (Mus. Brit.). 

 Genus Melopceus, no v. 



This genus is based upon several specimens in the British 

 ]\luseum from Siam and Hong Kong, wiiich I believe are 

 referable to the species described by iSimon as Selenocosmia 

 alho-striata^. The male is unknown to me, but according to 

 Simon it has a short process upon the tibia of the first leg. 



Genus Phokmixgochilus, nov. 

 Phormingochilus Everettii^ sp. n. (Pl. X. figs. 4-4 J.) 

 ? . Colour. Carapace, mandibles, and limbs covered with a 

 yellowish-ashy clothing of short hairs ; the long setai red- 

 dish grey, black at the base ; the abdomen reddish yellow, 

 with an obscure median blackish band, from which blackish 

 stripes pass laterally ; lower surface of abdomen, tiie ster- 

 num, and the coxa^ blackish ; fringes of blood-red hairs on the 

 maxillfe and mandibles. 



Carapace somewhat as in Selenocosmia but lower, the 

 radiating grooves conspicuous; the fovea shallowish, its 

 anterior and posterior v/alls nearly contiguous, transverse, 

 straight, not so wide as the ocular tubercle ; tubercle low, 

 very wide, wider than long, distance between it and the 

 front edge of the carapace equal to about half the length of 

 the tubercle. Eyes of anterior row procurved, anterior edge of 

 the median on a level with the middle of the lateral; lateral 

 elliptical ; median circular and a little larger, evenly spaced, 

 the distances between them about equal to the small dia- 

 meter of one of the lateral ; posterior row straight, the median 

 small, the lateral elliptically elongate, smaller than anterior 

 lateral.
