Pseudostigmata circular, pointing straight upwards, with the inner part 

 of the trumpet directed straight forwards and with numerous radiating septa. 

 Pseudostigmatic organs with very short, thin peduncle and large, pyri- 

 form head. 



The posterolateral angles of the propodosoma are thickened and project 

 backwards as broad, conical teeth. Between them, exactly behind the lamellae 

 there is a second pair of larger, more elongated and obtuse teeth. 



The hysterosoma has at the anterior margin a pair of large triangular 

 teeth opposite to the lateral teeth of the propodosoma and between them the 



anterior edge seems to be thickened to 

 a narrow ridge, behind which there are 

 two rather indistinct, low projections. The 

 hysterosoma is extremely finely punc- 

 tured, but along the sides there is a 

 band where it is finally transversally 

 striated. There are two longitudinal rows 

 of 7 hairs near the median line, about 

 twice as long as the interlamellar hairs, 

 and 3 pairs of submarginal hairs in the 

 posterior half. 



On the level of the anterior median 

 hair there is on the marginal band one 

 oblique, narrow, slit-like pore and an- 

 other in front of the anterior submarg- 

 inal hair. 



The ventral side with the genital 

 and anal shields of typical shape. Legs 

 with long, clavate femora, very short 

 genua, long, slender tibiae and short tarsi, 

 with one stout, strongly curved claw.

Odontocepheus sexdentatus n. sp. 

 Part of propodosoma. 



Loc: Juan Fernandez, Masatierra, Puerto Ingles about 400 m. a. S., 

 among dry leaves in dense forest. Aug. 191 7. One specimen. 



II. Odontocepheus curtipilus n. sp. — Figs. 63—65. 



Amongst the dry leaves already mentioned numerous specimens of a 

 fourth species occurred which is closely related to but quite distinct from 0. 

 longipilus. 



Length 880-900 {x; width 340—370 (a; length of propodosoma 320 — 

 330 [1, width 200 [x. 



Colour light brown. 



Texture very finely punctured except at the sides of the propodosoma 

 where these in the same scaly texture as in Otocepheus pacificus and O. longipilus. 



Propodosoma (fig. 63) of the same general shape as in 0. longipilus 

 and O. sexdentatus, but the lamellae are narrower, the lamellar and rostral hairs
