Clitlioiiiiis e ave 1*11 ar lini nov. sp. 



Two small eyes on each side; the anterior eye well developed 

 and about one diameter from the front margin , the posterior one 

 less developed and more diameters from the former. 



Colour. All parts of the animal, the legs included, pale red- 

 dish brown, the interstitial parts more whitish. 



Cephalothorax about as long as broad in front , much narrowed 

 backwards, the lateral margins slightly convex, a little contracted 

 in front of the eyes. The front margin nearly straight, the central 

 part with a slight depression and minutely dentated. The surface 

 slightly shagreened and glossy, with long, pointed hairs. 



Abdomen. The sclerites distinctly striped transversally, but they 

 have no proper shagreening; glossy, with long, pointed hairs. 



Palps long, longer than the body, slightly shagreened, glossy, 

 with long, pointed hairs. — Trochanter with a very short stalk , 

 this excepted scarcely longer than wide, only a little visible from 

 above, convex in front, concave behind. Femur with no distinct 

 stalk, very long, more than twice as long as the cephalothorax, 

 the inner margin nearly straight, behind a little widened at the 

 base and in the distal part, in the central part slightly concave. 

 Tibia of the usual shape, short. Hand with no stalk, about twice 

 as long as broad, the outer and the inner side slightly convex, 

 nearly parallel-sided, rather abruptly narrowed at the base of 

 the fingers. Fingers long, the fixed finger twice as long as the 

 hand, the moveable one considerably shorter than the former; 

 seen from above, the fingers appear straight; laterally seen, the 

 fixed finger is curved like v^-— — >, the tip much curved, the inner 

 margin provided with strong, conical, straight teeth, with very 

 large intervals; in these intervals there are in some places, not 

 everywhere, traces of one or two very small teeth ; the teeth are, 

 towards the base of the fingers, growing smaller and more clo- 

 sely set. The moveable finger is considerably shorter than the 

 fixed one, considerably curved, the inner margin in the distal 

 part provided with small, conical teeth, smaller than those of the 

 fixed finger, also with great intervals, but with no traces of 

 smaller teeth between them; the teeth are growing lower backwards. 



Mandibles very large, as long as the cephalothorax ; the fingers
