over the surface ; pedipalps purplish brown, but the basal segments, 

 the proximal half of the femur and the proximal two-thirds of the 

 metatarsus, pallid ; legs pallid, but the fourth pair with the femur in 

 its distal part and the tibia and metatarsus towards the middle more 

 or less darkened with purplish brown : under surface quite pale. 



ChelicercB spined on upper and lateral surfaces. Upper finger 

 straight, horizontal, curving downwards at the apex ; its lower edge 

 almost straight, with 4 large teeth in the single row, the third being 

 only slightly smaller than the rest, the double series composed of 

 3 minute teeth in the outer row and one small posterior and 2 large 

 anterior teeth in the inner row, the latter separated from the single 

 series by a small interspace. Lower finger slightly curved, more 

 curved at the apex, with 3 teeth, of which the anterior is the 

 largest and the middle one minute. 



Fig. 8. — G. austrcdis, n. sp. 



Flagellum inflated in the middle, with a small oval opening on the 

 inner surface, attenuated anteriorly and rotatably attached at its 

 anterior end to the medial side of the dorsal finger above the space 

 between the fourth and fifth teeth, the distal part strongly com- 

 pressed and bent outwards, colourless, membranous, very broadly 

 subtruncated and lacerated at the apex. 



Pedipalps long and strong, with some truncated cylinder-bristles 

 below ; the femur spindle-shaped, 'with a row of 3 spines below, of 

 which the 2 proximal ones are small and the distal one larger ; the 

 tibia nearly straight above but dilated below, the lower surface wath 

 2 rows of very stout spines, viz., 2 inner and 3 * outer ones, in the 

 distal half, the outer row supplemented proximally by a weak fourth 

 spine ; the metatarsus attenuated at the base, with 2 rows of short 

 spines below, the inner row of 4 with the proximal spine in the 

 middle of the segment, the outer row of 5 with the proximal spine 

 situated proximally to the middle, the distal spine of both rows 

 placed at the apex of the metatarsus. 



* The proximal one is broken off, but marked by a scar in the only pedipalp 

 present.
