422 MR. A. D. MICHAEL ON [June 3, 



There are a few hairs similar to the last-named round the hind 

 margin. Genital and anal plates small, projecting, close together. 



I have only one specimen, which came from the Gorge de la 

 Chiffa, Blidah. 



Dam^us FLAGELLiFEE, n. sp. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 2.) 



Length ahout '65 millim. 



Breadth about -40 millim. 



Length of legs, 1st and 3rd pairs, about "60 millim. 

 „ „ 2nd pair about '45 millim. 

 „ „ 4th „ „ -85 „ 



Colour very dark brown. 



Texture smooth, not polished, very finely punctured ; this, how- 

 ever, is difiicult to see in unprepared specimens. 



Cephalothora.v somewhat spotted but without true markings, con- 

 siderably less wide than the abdomen. Rostrum rather small, 

 almost pointed. Two pairs of rostral hairs, of which the hinder is 

 the thicker. The cephalothorax widens suddenly behind the 

 rostrum, forming a large, almost triangular projection, to the outer 

 and hinder face of which the first pair of legs arc articulated. There 

 is another large projection between the first and second legs ; it has 

 a rounded lobe posteriorly, to the hinder edge of which the second 

 leg is articulated, and a large tooth anteriorly curving forward 

 and outward. Pseudostigmata far apart, dorsal, slightly raised. 

 Pseudostigmatic organs long, setiform, flexible ; generally undu- 

 lated or curled toward the distal extremity. Interlamellar hairs 

 short, curved, almost close to the pseudostigmata. 



Legs of moderate length for the genus, joints clavate, the femora 

 suddenly so, not gradually thickened. There are three or four 

 moderately curved hairs arranged in a whorl on almost every joint; 

 the upper hair of the whorl in the femora and genuals of the fourth 

 legs is markedly larger than any of the others, and indeed these 

 hairs, which are whip-like with flexible curled or undulated ends, 

 are much the largest hairs on the creature, except the pseudo- 

 stigmatic organs, and form a conspicuous feature of the species. 

 Claws monodactyle. 



Abdomen elliptical, without markings. There are two longi- 

 tudinal rows of curved hairs of moderate length on the notogaster ; 

 these hairs diminish slightly in length from the anterior to the 

 posterior margin. There is also a pair of similar hairs on the 

 anterior edge, close to the median line, directed forward over the 

 cephalothorax, and a pair on the hind margin sharply hooked out- 

 ward. Genital and anal plates close together, the latter much 

 longer in form than the former. 



Two specimens from the cedar-forest of Teniet-el-Ahd. 



Ekem^us fimbriatus, n. sp. (Plate XXXYII. fig. 6.) 



Length about -38 millim. 

 Breadth about "24 millim.
