Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 3"8 ; width of 

 carapace 2*5 ; length of basal segment of mandible 4r'5, of 

 second segment 5 ; femur of first leg 5'5, of second 9, of 

 third 5 ; first leg about 23. 



Loc. New Zealand: Timaru in Canterbury {C. H. Tripp). 



For the type of this and of the following species of Panto- 

 psalis from Timaru I am indebted to Mr. F. F. Laidlaw, of 

 Owens College, Manchester. Both speciaiens were collected 

 by Mr. C. H. Tripp, after whom I propose to name the sub- 

 joined species. 



Pantopsalis Trippi, sp. n. 



S . — Very nearly related to the foregoing, but without the 

 orange-red band on the abdomen, the palpi more infuscate, 

 and the forceps of the mandibles not so noticeably reddish. 



Carapace with about half a dozen strongish spicules in 

 front. 



Mandibles much longer than in P. coronata ; first segment 

 nearly four times as long as the width of the carapace and 

 longer than the femur of the first leg by at least one third of 

 its length ; the second segment a little longer, its distal fourth 

 incrassate. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length (contracted) 

 about 3 ; width of carapace 2'5 ; length of first segment of 

 mandible 9*5, second segment lO'O; femur of first 6, of 

 third 5, of fourth 8 ; length of first leg 25. 



Loc. New Zealand: Timaru in Canterbury (C. H. Tripp).

 rantopsalis nigripalpis, Poc. P. Z. S. 1902, ii. p. 400, $ . 



cJ . — Colour. Body blackish, all the appendages a deej) 

 blackish brown, with faint annulations on the legs. 



Carapace with its median frontal area studded with sharp 

 denticles ; ocular tubercle with two rows of minute denticles. 



Mandible with its basal segment about twice as long as the 

 palpus and shorter than the femur of the first leg ; second 

 segment incrassate, about six times as long as wide; both 

 segments studded with sharp tubercles. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Width of carapace 3 ; length 

 of basal segment of mandible 5, of second segment 6 ; femui- 

 of first leg 7*5, of second 13, of fourth 10. 



Loc. New Zealand : Maungatua in Dunedin [J. V. Jen-

The type of this species was wrongly determined as a 

 female, and referred to one of the forms of P. nirjripalpis.
