14 Mr. R. I. Pocock on some new 



of three, the posterior of six, and with about eight spines below 

 and in front. Fourth leg with its femur furnished distally 

 above and in front with a rastellum consisting of many close- 

 set curved spines ; a few similar but shorter spines on tiie 

 adjacent area of the patella; tibia with one setiform spine 

 below ; protarsus and tarsus with numerous spines below and 

 in front, the former with one or two superior spines and 

 the latter with none or one. Claws of third and fourth legs 

 reduced in number, but still showing biserial arrangement. 

 Second segment of posterior spinners longer than wide ; third 

 s'^m.ent much longer than wide, nearly as long as the second 

 and tapering. 



Total length 18 millim. ; carapace 7 ; first leg 14, second 13, 

 third 10-5, fourth 15-5. 



Lac. Jansenville [Miss Lejypan). 



The two species of this genus known to me may be di- 

 agnosed as follows: — 



a. Space between anterior and posterior lateral eyes on each 



side narrow, about one fourth only of the long diameter 

 of the posterior lateral, the anterior not much higher and 

 scarcely longer than the posterior ; protarsus of tirst and 

 second legs with 2+2 proximal spines ; tibia of third 

 with 3 spines in front, the upperside of its tarsus with 

 2 spines in front and 1 behind Jlnvicepx, 



b. Lateral eyes very unequal in size, anterior much longer [Poc. 



and higher than posterior, space between them equal to 



at least half the long diameter of the posterior ; protarsi 



of first and second legs with 1 + 1 proximal spines below ; 



tibia of third with more than a dozen anterior spines, its [sp. n. 



tarsus with 3+5 spines above colonice, 



Genus Hermachastes, Poc. 

 Htrmachastes faUgiiieus^ sp. n. 



$ . — Coloui'. Carapace and legs ashy Hack or ashy brown, 

 upperside of abdomen paler ashy brown, without pattern of 

 pale stripes ; under surface pale. 



Ei/es of anterior line slightly procurved, subequally spaced, 

 or the medians a little nearer the laterals than to each other, 

 distance between them barely a diameter ; laterals much 

 larger than medians and larger than the posterior laterals, the 

 space between them more than half the long diameter of the 

 posteriors ; posterior medians close to posterior laterals, almost 

 as large as anterior medians, from which they are separated 

 by a space a little exceeding the diameter of the anterior 

 medians.
