inner edge, two or three on the inner surface, two on the 

 under inner edge, and four in two rows on the under outer 

 edge ; the process very short and tipped with two or three 

 spines ; patella about as wide as it is long ; tibia a little longer 

 than wide ; the claw long, as long as the last tarsal segment, 

 not spurred. 



Legs with tarsi not spurred ; claws of all the legs unspined. 



Length 45 millim. 



A single specimen from Ceylon (R. Templeton). 



This species is evidently allied to C. sarasinorum, Haase, 

 of which the Museum possesses two specimens from Ceylon. 

 It differs, however, as it does from all the other species of the 

 genus, in that the claws of all the legs are unspined. More- 

 over the prosternal plates are very widely separated ; but I 

 do not care to lay too much stress upon this character, seeing 

 that it may be the result of accident and not normal. 



Cormocephalus dentipes, sp. n. (PI. IV. fig. 10.) 



Colour (of dried and faded specimen) testaceous ; head and 

 pleurae ochraceous ; when fresh the specimen was probably 

 ochraceous, with castaneous head and pleurae. 



Head subcircular, with conspicuous posterior sulci ; basal 

 lamina visible. 



Antennce short, attenuate, composed of seventeen cylindrical 

 segments, whereof the basal four or five are bare, the rest 

 pubescent. 



Maxillary sternite and feet more or less rugulose, the sternite 

 irregularly grooved longitudinally and of a deeper colour 

 centrally and posteriorly than anteriorly and laterally ; pro- 

 sternal plates well-developed, wide and long, each bearing 

 four distinct teeth, whereof the external one is sharper and 

 separated and the three internal blunter and more or less 

 fused. 



Tergites smooth, with the exception of the last, but including 

 the first, strongly bisulcate ; from the thirteenth distinctly 

 margin ate. 



Sternites conspicuously bisulcated. 



Anal somite. — Tergite wider behind than in front, the mar- 

 gins rounded anteriorly and converging, without a median 

 sulcus ; pleurae, closely and somewhat coarsely porous, the 

 process smooth and short, terminated by two strong spines 

 and bearing one lateral superior spine ; sternite much nar- 

 rowed posteriorly, with straight hinder border and rounded 

 posterior angles ; legs of moderate thickness and length, not 

 including the posterior internal process, which is short and 

 tipped with two strong spines, armed with about seventeen
