Galeodes hector, sp. n. 
Closely allied to G. arabs. 
The ground-colour rather redder, the upperside of the 
mandibles more infuscate ; femur of palp very slightly infus- 
cate above distally; tibia marked above with a median 
fuscous band which extends from end to end; protarsus and 
tarsus entirely fuscous above ; legs uniformly reddish yellow 
or slightly infuscate ; abdomen and free thoracic segments 
with a crescentie black spot on the middle of each tergum. 
Spine-armature of legs as in G. arabs, but the posterior 
proximal spine upon the first tarsal of the second and third 
legs more generally present than in arabs. 
g. Spines on fifth abdominal sternite slender, long, cylin- 
drical, pointed distally, but scarcely narrowed at the base ; 
those on the fourth tarsus scarcely expanded mesially, but 
narrowed to a long hair-like process ; the malleoli, however, 
are much shorter, the heads smaller and with their points 
more rounded ; the external one is not so long as the flagellum 
of the mandible. 
Measurements in millimetres of types ( 2 ).—Total length of 
trunk 48, of coxal area 17; width of cephalic plate 10°5, of 
eye-tubercle 1°5; length * of mandible 14:2; palp 39, femur 
14, tibia 12°5, protarsus 10, tarsus 3; width of tibia and of 
protarsus 1°8; length of fourth leg 51°5. 
¢- Total length of trunk 30, of coxal area 14; width of 
head 6°8; length of mandible 10°5, of flagellum almost 4, of 
palp 43, femur 16°5, tibia 14, protarsus 11, tarsus 3; length 
of fourth leg 53; length of external coxal hammer 3, of 
handle 2, of head 2°5. 
Loe. Smyrna; 8. of Smyrna (2. MacAndrew) ; Budrum, 
in Asia Minor (//.J2.8. ‘Supply’). 
This species seems to come very near to the genuine 
G. araneoides of the Russian steppes; but since the latter 
species is unknown to me, I am unable to compare the two. 
It may “be recognized from arabs by the colouring of its 
ay shorter legs, and the different shaped malleoli of the 
male. 
In addition to the female type described above, all the other 
specimens that I have seen are males. One of these, ticketed 
“ Arabia,” is considerably larger than the one described, the 
* In this and all cases the length of the mandible is taken along its 
external surface from its point of articulation to the apex of the immov- 
able fang. The rest of the appendages are measured along the upper 
side.
