Lophocarenum hartlandianiim. new 



1.5 mm. long, pale brown, the males generally darker than females. 

 Head of male slightly elevated with grooves at the sides distinctl}' 

 marked l)y black lines. Just behind the eyes are pits extending 

 inward from the grooves and distinctly visible through the skin as 

 dark markings. The dark lines over the grooves extend forward and 

 unite with black spots behind the lateral pairs of eyes. The male 

 palpi are large and conspicuous, the tibia is twice as long as the patella 

 and is widened at the end where it extends over the tarsus. On the 

 upper side toward the outer corner are two teeth, the inner one recur- 

 ved and sharp. The tarsus is folded over in a sharp ridge and is 

 narrowed toward the end as seen from above Fig. 7 a. The tube of 

 the palpal organ is long and slender, and makes two turns under the 

 tarsus, resting against the ridge on the upper side of the tarsus with 

 the tip between the two teeth on the tibia. Fig. 7. PI. I. 



The female has no peculiar markings. The epigynum shows a 

 distinct middle lobe with the spermathecae showing through the skin 

 at each side of it.
