On some new Oriental Opiliones. 283 



XXIX. — Descriptions of some new Oriental Opiliones recently 

 received hy the British Museum. By R. I. POCOCK. 



Suborder P L A G 1 S T E T H I, Simon. 



Family Phalangiidae . 



Genus Gagrella, Stoliczka. 



Gagrella insculpta^ sp. n. 



Closely allied to Q. scrohiculata^ Thorell (Ann. Mus. Genov. 

 XXX. p. 117), from Borneo, but apparently differing in the 

 following particulars : — The colour of the trunk is black, but 

 there are some bright yellow spots near the sides of the cara- 

 pace, one on each side of the tergal shield of the abdomen, 

 and one on the anterior surface of the distal end of the fourth 

 coxa (these spots do not appear to be present in scrohiculata) . 

 Mandibles yellow, spotted with brown in front in one speci- 

 men, but not nigro-piceous as in scrohiculata. 



Legs black ; tarsi testaceous ; the adjacent extremities of 

 the tibiae and protarsi bright yellow. Sternal area of abdomen 

 with a wide flavous stripe on each side of it. 



The sculpturing of the trunk appears to resemble that of 

 scrohiculata^ except that the free abdominal terga are exceed- 

 ingly finely punctulate and not very finely granular-. 



The supramandibular processes are not acuminate and 

 narrow, but stout, with the apex digitate, each digitiform 

 process armed apically with small tubercles; immediately 

 behind them on the carapace there is a low smooth eminence. 



Length of trunk 8*5 millim., width 5. 



Loc. Baram, Borneo. Several specimens obtained by 

 Mr. Charles Hose. 



Suborder Mecostethi, Simon. 

 Fam. Oncopodidse, Thor. 



Genus Pelitnus, Thor. 

 (Ann. Mus. Genov. xxx. p. 757 (1890).) 



Pelitnus annulipes, sp. n. 



Colour of upperside of trunk and of lower side of abdomen 

 a deep brownish black ; coxjb fusco-ferruginous ; legs bruuueo- 

 fuscous, with the tarsi, trochanters, and apices of femora, 

 patellae, and tibiae orange-yellow.
