89 Mr. R. I. Pocock on some 
tibia and protarsus black from end to end, a fine yellow line 
merely marking the joint between them. 
Measurements in millimetres.— (adult). Total length of 
trunk 40; width of head 10, of ocular tubercle 2; length of 
mandible 15, of palp 61, its tibia 20°5, protarsus 14:5, of 
fourth leg 73. 
2 (probably not quite mature). Total length of trunk 35 ; 
width of head 10, of ocular tubercle 2; length of mandible 15, 
of palp 46°5, its tibia 15, protarsus 11°5, fourth leg 59. 
Loc. Jask, in Persia, on the Gulf of Oman, close to the 
confines of Beluchistan. Two young specimens obtained by 
Mr. B. T. Ffinch and four examples, including those described 
above, collected by Mr. Butcher. 
Resembling G. arabs, but having the tibie and protarsi of 
the palp more completely fuscous and the trunk and legs less 
so. In colouring it resembles G. darius, but differs so 
markedly from it in the greater shortness of its legs, that it 
is impossible without further evidence to regard the two as 
identical. 
Galeodes afghanus, sp. n. 
3 .—Colour. Carapace anteriorly infuscate; mandibles 
flavous above; palpi with femur infuscate in its distal half 
and tibia infuscate, as in G. arabs, but the protarsus and 
tarsus entirely flavous; anterior two pairs of legs flavous ; 
third pair with femur infuscate, fourth pair absent; (abdomen 
discoloured). 
Flagellum of mandibles with its basal cylindrical part 
much shorter than its distal expanded part, as in the Indian 
G. fatalis; the lower jaw of the mandible with 3 small teeth 
between the two primary teeth on the right side and two on 
the left; on the latter, however, the space remains where 
the third tooth has been. 
The second and third legs like those of G. arabs, except 
that there are 8 spines on the tarsi instead of 7, the posterior 
spine of the first pair being retained. 
Malleoi not certainly distinguishable from those ot 
G. arabs. 
Measurements in millimetres.—Total length of trunk 34 ; 
length of head 6:5, width 9; length of mandible 13:5, of palp 
54°5, its tibia 18°5, protarsus 13:5. 
Loc. Between Quetta and Kandahar. A single male 
specimen presented by Col. Godwin-Austen. 
This species differs from araneoides, caspius, arabs, and 
orientalis in having the protarsus and tarsus of the palpi
