48 On tiDO new Genera of Scorpions. 



thickly granular below and at the sides, the granulation 

 obscuring the keels, the inferior median keels, however, 

 marked by stronger and sharper granules, the upper surface 

 much more feebly granular, the keels very feeble on the first 

 but defined by larger granules ; the keels absent on the third, 

 which has its margins rounded and the position of the supe- 

 rior and supero-lateral keels marked by a larger granule 

 posteriorly ; the fourth segment without keels and almost 

 without granules, but roughened by close-set coarse punctures, 

 finely granular only in the excavation of the upper surface ; 

 the fifth segment also without keels, but marked with coarse, 

 close-set, sometimes anastomosing punctures, granular on the 

 posterior third of its lower surface, and finely so in the poste- 

 rior portion of the superior excavation, the anal border lobate 

 at the sides, granular beneath ; the vesicle moderately large, 

 coarsely punctured beneath, the aculeus strong and curved. 

 Tail and vesicle thickly and irregularly hairy beneath. 



Palpi slender ; humerus very weakly granular along the 

 feebly developed keels ; hrachium without keels, very slightly 

 granular in front, the rest smooth ; manus rounded, narrower 

 than the brachium, without keels and without granules, the 

 length of the " hand-back " much greater than the width of 

 the hand ; dactyli long, curved, and slender, the length of 

 the movable dactylus nearly twice as great as the length of 

 the hand. 



Legs with weakly granular femora, coxse quite smooth. 



Ptctines not projecting to the end of the fourth coxce, fur- 

 nished with fourteen similar teeth. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 30, length of 

 cephalothorax 2*5, of tail ll'O, of first two segments "I'S^ of 

 fourth 2, of fifth 3 ; width of the first 1-6, of the fifth 1-4, of 

 the vesicle 1 ; length of humerus 2*3, of brachium 2"o, of 

 hand-back 1'2, of movable dactylus 2*5 ; widtii of hand 'S. 



A single specimen probably from India or Ceylon, but 

 without special locality. It was found in a bottle in Count 

 Keyserling's collection together with a young example of 

 Scorpio Swammerdami — a species which is undoubtedly 

 Indian and Ccylonese. 



The only known species with which this can be confounded 

 is Charmus laneus of Karsch. But it certainly ditfers in 

 colour, in having the last abdominal sternite coarsely and not 

 " subtiliter " granular, the tail certainly carinate in part, and 

 the fourth segment punctured and not granular.
