instead of five spines, and the distal tarsal with three instead 
of two spines ; and in having on the fourth leg the hairs of 
the tarsus normal, two pairs of spines instead of one pair upon 
the median tarsal, and one pair instead of none upon the 
distal tarsal, and in having the handle of the malleoli nearer 
the centre of the head. 
Galeodes darius, sp. n. 
?. Head, mandibles, and legs entirely lemon-yellow ; 
ocular tubercle black ; tibia and protarsus of palp fuscous ; 
tarsus and femur yellow; abdomen and thoracic segments 
pale, the tergal.plates only very faintly infuscate. 
Measurements in millimetres.—Total length of trunk 41, 
width of head 12, of ocular tubercle 2'5; length of mandible 
17, of palp 62, its tibia 20, protarsus 15; of fourth leg 81, 
its protarsus 15°5. 
Loc. Fao, on the Persian Gulf (W. D. Cuming). 
Apart from its colouring, this species may be easily recog- 
nized from G. arabs by the enormous length of its legs and 
palpi. For instance, in adult females of arabs the width of 
the carapace is about equal to the length of the protarsus of 
the palp or of the fourth leg; but in G. dardus the protarsi 
in question are far longer than the width of the head. The 
following measurements of an example of arabs from Muscat 
will illustrate the differences :—Total length 43; width of 
head 12°5, of ocular tubercle 2°5, of palp 49, its tibia 16, pro- 
tarsus 12; length of fourth leg 64, its protarsus 11:5. 
It may thus be seen that, although actually smaller in the 
head, G. darius has the appendages actually considerably 
longer. 
It is possible that this species may prove to be the female 
of G. cyrus, since the two come from the same locality. I 
refrain, however, from uniting them, on account of the differ- 
ence in colour that the two present and from the fact that 
the ocular tubercle is not unusually large in G. darius 
and the spine-armature of the feet is normal, except that 
the distal tarsal of the fourth foot has two spines upon it, as 
in G. caspius. 
Galeodes citrinus, sp. n. 
Colour a rich lemon-yellow throughout, except for a faint 
median band down the back and very slight infuscation on 
the anterior edge of the cephalic shield; ocular tubercle 
black, pale sometimes in the middle. 
Legs entirely pale ; palpi with femur and tarsus pale, but
