As this species has already been described and figured, both by 
Vinson and Keyserling, I shall here only give some few additional 
remarks, founded on the examination of a female specimen from 
Réunion which was kindly presented to me by Dr. Vinson. The 
length of the whole body is 12 millims., of cephalothorax nearly 4, 
of abdomen 10 (the “‘tail’” about 4) millims. Breadth of cephalothorax 
3q, and = length of patella + tibia of the first or second pair of 
legs; breadth of abdomen about 32 millims. When measured in 
the usual way, from the margin of cephalothorax, the proportion of 
the legs appears to be 2, 4, 1, 3, or 2, 1, 4, 3, the second pair being 
very slightly longer than the first and fourth pairs, which are of 
equal length (10 millims.) ; but when measured on the underside, 
from the base of the coxe, the fourth pair are a little longer than the 
others. Length of third pair of legs nearly 7, of tibia + patella I. 
(or II.) nearly 33 millims.; tibia 1. is nearly 2, tibia + patella IV. 
nearly 4, tibia IV. 2 millims. The fore central eyes are larger than 
the other 6, which are almost equal; the area occupied by the four 
central eyes is double as long as broad in front, and about half as 
broad again before as behind. The lateral eyes are separated by an 
interval evidently larger than their diameter and rather larger than 
the interval between the fore centrals, this latter interval. being 
somewhat smaller than an eye’s diameter; the space between the 
posterior centrals is distinctly smaller than the diameter of these 
eyes. The femora of the first pair are slightly incrassated on the 
interior side towards the apex ; they have 1, 1, 1 pale and slender
