and Species of Scorpions. 325 



Stigmata elongate, the aperture crescentic. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 68, of carapace 

 9, of tail 36'5 ; width of first segment 3*5, of fifth 2*5, of 

 vesicle 3*5 ; width of brachium 3*2, of manus 6 ; length of 

 hand-back 8, of movable digit 9*8. 



Loc. Simla, in the Hiniah-iyas. Coll. Schlagintweit. 



Two female examples, the one above described and a 

 second smaller one measuring 47 millim., of which the cara- 

 pace is 6*2 and the tail 24. 



There are also two more adult female specimens of approxi- 

 mately the same size as the one described, but without 

 localities. These are blacker in colour, with the palpi rather 

 more robust. There is, in addition, a small example, the 

 carapace of which measures only 6'5 millim., while the fingers 

 are scarcely lobate and the manus is only one third wider 

 than the brachium. 



This species may be recognized from Hardioicldi* ^ of which 

 the type is preserved in this Museum, by its much larger 

 size, the average length of Hardwickii being 36 millim. (one 

 example in the collection is 46 millim.), its thinner and 

 longer tail, thinner hand, &c. 



The specimens that I have described differ from those 

 examined by Karsch in the proportions of the fifth caudal 

 segment and in having the carapace about as long as the first 

 two caudal segments. These differences, however, are, I 

 suspect, merely sexual. 



Scorpiops leptochirus, sp. n. (PI. XIV. fig. 11.) 



Colour nearly black ; chelicerse and vesicle infuscate, distal 

 tarsal segment ferruginous. 



Carapace weakly granular, the ocular tubercle shallowlv 

 cleft, the eyes on it rather large and separated by a space 

 which is rather larger than a diameter; the lateral eyes 

 distinct, the posterior the smallest and close to the median 

 one. 



Tergites studded with low, smooth, shining granules, a 

 median granular keel ; the last with 4 short weak keels. 



Slernites smooth, the last furnished with 4 granular keels. 



Tail robust, less than three and a half times the length of 

 the carapace, which is almost as long as the first two segments 

 and half the third, posteriorly attenuated; the second segment 

 as long as wide, the fourth about one fourth longer than wide, 

 the fifth not twice the length of the second, the normal keels 

 well developed and granular, the intercarinal spaces weakly 

 granular, these granules arranged in a reticulated pattern ;
