84 Mr. R. I. Pocock on some ~ 
six spines in three pairs; on the fourth leg the protarsus 1s 
armed below with three spines behind and five in front ; tarsus 
armed below with ten pairs of spines, those from 1 to 7 on 
each side gradually increasing in strength up to the seventh ; 
tibia of this appendage longer than the protarsus, but a little 
shorter than width of the cephalic plate. Malleoli short. 
Inner angles of the two halves of the genital operculum 
convexly rounded, the posterior border of each half at right 
angles to the median groove. 
3. Resembling female in colour ; a little smaller, but with 
legs much longer as compared with width of head, ¢. e. the 
tibia and protarsus of palp and fourth leg greater than width 
of head ; protarsus of palp scopulate beneath. Upperside of 
head-plate and of mandible furnished with a small number of 
stout spiniform sete. Dentition of the mandibles very much 
as in the female, except that the distance between the second 
and third large fangs of the upper jaw is greater and the 
anterior of the two small denticles which occupy this space is 
considerably removed from the posterior. Moreover, owing 
to the shortness of the terminal fang, the first tooth is closer 
to its apex than in the female; and, lastly, upon the upper- 
side of the terminal fang and close to the base of the re- 
curved portion of the flagellum there is an additional 
forwardly directed tooth. The proximal portion of the 
flagellum, 7@. e. the piece that is attached to the mandible and 
lies forwards, is high and rounded, the remaining part, 7. e. 
the recurved portion, is very short, broad, flattened, narrower 
at the base, pointed at the apex, not projecting backwards 
beyond the point of origin of the basal portion. On the inner 
side of the apex there is an extra small tooth.

tubercle to anus 31°5; length of head 7:3, width 9°8, width 
of ocular tubercle 2°2; length of mandible 13, of palp 31, its

¢. Resembling S. ferox in colour, ¢. e. in having the limbs, 
head, &c. of a uniform reddish yellow; the femur of the 
fourth leg, however, is lightly infuscate in its distal half, and
