considerably shorter than the bulk; the fixed finger has on the 

 inner margin one very large tooth, in fi^ont of this one smaller 

 and behind a row of small ones; the usual tooth-like widening 

 outside at the curvature is present. 



Legs very long, the posterior pair considerably longer than 

 the length of the body ; the hairs simple and pointed ; the femora 

 of the posterior pair moderately broad. Claws simple. 



Length 2.36 mm.

 Tibia: long. 0.36; lat. 0.20. Hand: long. 0.60; lat. 0.29. Fingers,

 long. 2.9 mm. 



The most characteristic in this species are the fingers of the 

 palps: their shape, their unequal length and their dentition; I 

 know no other species with which it as regards this might be 

 confounded. The species certainly is, in spite of the presence of 

 the eyes, a cave-form, on account of the long palps and the 

 long legs. 



I received this species already several years ago, in 1904, 

 from Mr. Josef Sever in Trieste, who had collected the animals 

 in Krain (Austria), in two localities: the Bischofiacker Grotte 

 (20 specimens) and the Zaorlihohle (2 specimens), but I have not 

 had an opportunity to publish the species till now. 



In the collection, treated in this paper, belonging to the 

 Museo Civico di Genova, the species is represented by 4 specimens 

 (2 cf, 1 9,1 jun.), collected in Wallachia: Sinaia. If these spe- 

 cimens were taken in caves is not stated.
