Pedipalpi, Ricitmlei, and Opiliones. 37 



excepting a lateral portion around each eye, is set with 

 numerous denticles, among which those in a narrow belt 

 below the eyes are somewhat large, and the denticles diminish 

 much in size downwards and disappear near the base of 

 the protuberance; the processes are armed with conspicuous 

 denticles. 



The abdominal shield has a median row of five spiniform 

 processes or teeth ; the process on second segment is larger than 

 that on the first, and the latter is larger than the third, while 

 those on fourth and fifth segment are mere denticles; first and 

 second segment each besides with a transverse row of two pairs 

 of conspicuous denticles, while on the three other segments 

 corresponding denticles are small or wanting. The free abdo- 

 minal tergites and the ventral surface of the abdomen nearly 

 smooth. 



Palps not inconsiderably longer than the body. Trochanter 

 distally with a few granules above and below. Femur a little 

 curved and slightly thickened towards the end, with rows of 

 denticles on the lower side and granules on the upper surface. 

 Patella with two marginal rows of granules above; the apophy- 

 sis slightly longer than the patella itself (fig. 3 c and 3 d) and 

 somewhat shorter than the tibia, moderately slender, but with 

 the subdistal part slightly thickened and everywhere clothed 

 with short hairs. Tibia proximally with very incomplete rows 

 of granules ; the terminal inner apophysis (fig. 3 d) is short, 

 shorter than broad, hairy. 



Legs extremely long, very slender. Coxae of first pair with 

 a moderate number of irregularly scattered, setiferous granules, 

 while the other pairs are less scabrous. Femora subsimilar, 

 excepting that second pair are distinctly more slender than 

 the first, and all with rows of small denticles ; patellae with very 

 few denticles, while the denticles on the tibiae are very small 

 and partly rudimentary.
