and those on tlie posterior side only two in number. Claws 

 of the second^ third, and fourth pairs of legs much longer than 

 in Galeodes, those of the legs of the fourth pair being tlie 

 longest (fig. 1 and fig. 2). 



Othoes floiceri, sp. n. 



Immovable finger of the chelicera with the second and 

 fifth teeth (counting from the distal end) the largest ; the 

 posterior of the two teeth which are present between these 

 major teeth is exceedingly minute; first tooth of the row of 

 large size and separated from the second by a fairly large 

 gap. Between the two large teeth of the movable finger, 

 also, two minor teeth are present, and the post'crior of them 

 is very minute (fig. 3). Maxillipalp very long and slender,

and its femur is furnished below, on the inner side, with a 

 row of about five or six fairly strong spines and also with 

 weaker spines ; patella and tibia without either thorns or 

 bristles, the latter narrowed distally ; tarsus freely movable 

 and more slender and not so abruptly narrowed as is the case 

 in tiie species of Galeodes — moreover, it is furnished with a 

 scopula composed of forked hairs, similar to those at the end 

 of the tarsus of the first leg. Handles of the maleoli about 

 equal in length to or a little less than the greatest length of 

 the blades. Metatarsus of fourth leg with the spinal arma- 

 ture (1 + 1) +1 + 2 + 2, but the proximal unpaired spines 

 (enclosed in brackets in the formula) are much weaker than 

 the others. The spinal armature of the tarsus of the fourth 

 leg is I 2 + 2 + 2 i 2 I I . 



Colour. — Body, chelicera3, and legs pale yellow ; a fine 

 blackish line is present, however, along the anterior margin 

 of the head-plate, and the ocular tubercle is also black, but it 

 has an ill-defined longitudinal yellowish streak in the middle. 

 Patella and tibia of maxillipalp black and the tarsus 

 sliglitly darkened ; the basal segments of this appendage are 

 pale yellow.
