Mouth parts prominent. Palpi about one-half as long as the anterior 
pair of legs; distal segment equal to the penultimate and well clothed 
with hairs; antepenultimate segment stouter than the penultimate and 
curved upward. Mandibles when extended as long as the palpi; chele 
subequal, slightly toothed and about as long as the last two segments of 
the palpus. Epistoma and hypostoma apparently united to form a large 
tubular structure containing the mouth parts; above this structure 
shows three sharp cusps, one median and one on each side of this middle 
cusp. 
Body almost twice as long as broad; slightly narrowed just in front 
of the second pair of legs, subtruncate in front and rounded behind. 
The body is sparsely clothed with moderate hairs and possesses a pair 
of shoulder bristles and a pair of anterior marginal bristles. 
Genital opening of the male at the base of the hypostoma. Female 
genital plate extending from the anterior margin of the coxa of leg III 
to the posterior margin of coxa of leg IV. Anus in the case of both sexes 
situated near the posterior margin of the abdomen. 
Legs slender; tarsi tapering. Anterior pair one and a third times as 
long as the body; second pair of legs stouter than the others in the case 
of both sexes and in the case of the male is provided with a large horn 
in the shape of a spur (hence the name wnicornutus) which arises from 
the inner side of the femur. The tarsi of the last pair of legs are 
especially long and are provided with longer hairs than the other seg- 
ments. Tarsal claws of all the legs small and situated on long, slender _ 
pedicels. 
Length of male, 0.70 mm.; breadth of male, 0.32 mm.; !ength of

Yellowish brown; body darker than the appendages. 
Mouth parts large; palpi about one-third as long as the first pair of 
legs; distal segment of palpus broader but equal in length to the penul- 
timate; antepenultimate segment both longer and stouter than the 
penultimate; palpi sparsely clothed with short, simple bristles. Epis- 
toma of the male broad, with a shallow notch in the middle and two 
short points on each side; hypostoma prominent. 
Body elongate, twice as long as broad, broadest at the insertion of the 
last pair of legs. The entire upper surface of the body is corneous and 
sparsely clothed with rather small, simple hairs. At the anterior mar- 
gin of the body is situated a prominent pair of simple, curved bristles 
about one-half as long as the palpi. 
Anterior pair of legs much longer than the others; tarsus and tibia 
of leg I subequal, each provided with several rather prominent bristles. 
The second pair of legs in the male are remarkable for their enormous 
size, each being about one-half as thick as the body is at the point 
where the legs are attached to it. The femur of the second pair of legs
