^Ir. A. S. Hirst — Xotes on Scorpions. 211 



Carnpice minutely punctured, more sparsely so on the 

 raised portions ; surface smooth and jjolished, devoid of 

 granules. Median groove present in front of the eyes. 

 Anterior border with a deep bay. 



Aliiionicn. Ttr^ites smooth and polished, minutely pimc- 

 tured ; jtrovided on their hinder ed<^es with a row of granules, 

 which is incomplete in the median line. Last tergite with 

 large isolated granules laterally. »Sternites smooth and 

 polished, minutely punctured ; the punctures more distinct 

 on the last sternite, which is furnished with four smooth 

 keels. 



Tail stout ; superior dorsal keels of the first four segments 

 formed by a few fairly large granules, tlie posterior granule 

 of each series enlarged. Ventral keels much as in antillanus, 

 smooth, and each bearing a few setiferous depressions. 

 Accessory lateral keels ill-defined. Vesicle very stout, its 

 surface minutely punctured and devoid of granules. 



Vectines with nine teeth. 



Ftet with minute punctures, tarsi angular and with but 

 few punctures; tarsi of tiiird and fourth legs provided with six 

 spines on the inner edge and with a proximal crescent of four 

 granule'^, externally with 6-7 spines. 



Mauus narrow, lobe reduced ; d-;isal surface smooth and 

 keel less, less densely punctured than is the case in anlillanus 

 and with frequent unpunctured spaces which give it a reti- 

 culate appearance. 



Measurements in mm. Length of carapace 5, of tail (in- 

 cluding vesicle) 20, of first two segments of tail 5"5, of last 

 segment of tail 4'75, of movable digit of hand 5 5; total 

 length 36; breadth of last segment of tail 'IQ, of tibia of 

 palp 225, of vesicle 3 ; greatest breadth of hand 4 ; length 

 of vesicle (aculeus excl.) about 4. 



Hub. San Kanion, Kio Wanks, about 185 miles above 

 Cape Gracias, Nicaragua. A single specimen collected by 

 Mr. G. Palmer in the month of July 1905. 



Remarks. Allied to antillanus, Pocock, from which it may 

 be distinguished by the weakly lobed, keelless hands', the 

 dorsal surfaces of wjjich are punctured in a reticulate fasliion, 

 and also by the stout tail and vesicle, the coarse and less 

 numerous granules of the superior dorsal keels of the tail, 

 and the deep bay of the anterior margin of the cephalo- 

 thorax.
