118 SCORPIONS, PEDIPALPI AND SPIDERS COLLECTED BY DR WILLEY 



tarsus and basal half of patella clear yellow and distal two-thirds of protarsus black ; 

 3rd leg with coxa and trochanter yellow, femur reddish brown, paler distally, the 

 rest of the segments yellowish with darker apices ; 4th leg coloured like the 3rd 

 but with basal half of femur and patella paler, protarsus annulate ; abdomen blackish, 

 with a pair of large spots formed of metallic golden scales on the fore part and 

 two narrower transverse bands of the same tint behind, one in the middle the other 

 at the posterior end. 



In its structural characters this species stands near Z. juliae, Thorell ; but differs 

 in having the clypeus, that is to say, the area between the anterior eyes and the 

 thickened marginal rim, less than half the diameter of the median eyes, only 3 long 

 spines, instead of 6 shorter ones, upon the distal inferior apex of the tibia of the 

 1st leg, and no spines on the patellae of the 1st and 2nd. 



Measurements in millimetres. Total length 75 ; length of carapace 4, width 32 : 

 length of 1st leg 9, of 2nd 7, of 3rd 11, of 4th 8, patella and tibia of 3rd 3-6, 

 of 1st 4. 



Loc. New Britain. A single adult male. 



Differs from both Z. juliae and Z. d'urvillei in having the legs much more dis- 

 tinctly variegated, the clypeus lower and the presence of only 3 spines on the lower 

 side of the distal end of the 1st tibia.

Bathippus proboscideus, sp. n. 



PI. XL Fig. 15. 



Colour: carapace pale castaneous, black close to eyes, with white hairs and a 

 few red ones below the eyes and on each side of the anterior eyes, the rest naked ; 

 mandibles yellowish brown with steel blue polish internally ; palpi uniformly yellow : 

 legs yellowish, femora brown, with metallic polish outside and inside ; coxae of 1st 

 and 2nd black in front ; tibia and protarsus of 1st also sometimes blackish ; maxillae 

 and labium blackish, sternum pale ; abdomen pale at the sides, with a broad black 

 band above and below. 



Carapace about as long as tibia of 1st leg, scarcely two-thirds the length of 

 the basal segment of the mandible. Basal segment of mandible about five times as 

 long as thick, armed with two spiniform teeth near the base and four teeth nearer 

 the extremity, two of these are quite at the end, one on each side of the base 

 of the fang, the inner one smaller and tubercular, the outer one much larger and 

 bearing an external nodule ; of the remaining teeth one, the external, is of moderate 

 size and spiniform and stands about one-third of the distance from the end, while 

 the other, farther forwards and on the inner side, is long, strong and slightly arched ; 

 the fang, which extends back as far as the spiniform teeth of the basal segment, 

 is bent at an acute angle close to its base and armed internally on the distal side 

 of the angle with a longish spiniform tooth. Distal external angle of maxillae rounded. 



Palpi long and slender, the tibia at least one-third longer than either tarsus 

 or patella. 



Legs armed with long spines ; patellae with an anterior and a posterior spine.
