DESCRIPTIONS OF SCORPIONS FROM INDIA. 105 



four longitudinal granular crests on the fourth abdominal sternite, traces 

 of them being visible on the third. In B. dorice the coxae and sterna 

 are smooth, and there are no granular keels on the fourth sternum. 

 The tuberculiform teeth, present on the lower surface of the tail, which 

 are so characteristic of B. dorice, are also developed in B. odonturus, but 

 to a lesser degree, being smaller, farther apart and triangular in shape, 

 whereas in B. dorice they are apically rounded. Again in B. dorice the 

 large teeth forming the anterior transverse crest on the second and 

 third segments are only 4 in number, while in B. odonturus they are 6, 

 and lastly the lateral protuberance on the fifth segment, which projects 

 on each side of the anal orifice is bilobed in B. dorice, trilobed in B. 

 odonturus. Pectinal teeth ($), 28-29. 



Total length 58, length of tail 37, carapace 6. 



Locality.— Khelat Frontier, Upper Scinde (A. V. Kemball.) 



(3.) — BUTHUS ATEOSTRIATDS, Sp. n. 



Colour. — $ . Yellow, variegated with black bands and spots ; the 

 front border of the carapace with its ocular tubercle and keels black ; 

 the three keels, of the terga black, and usually an additional black spot 

 on each side ; keels on lower side of tail irregularly fuscous, the dark 

 pigment spreading lateraHy on to the sides of the fourth and fifth seg- 

 ments ; vesicle lightly infuscate at the sides ; chelae yellow, the upper 

 and outer sides of the brachium and hand irregularly lined with 

 fuscous, patches of the same colour being also present upon the 

 upper side of the trochanter and humerus and also upon the 

 femora and tibiae of the legs. 



Trunk with its intercarpal spaces weakly granular ; the keels 

 on the terga granular and parallel ; frontal keels of the carapace 

 complete and granular ; the area on each side between their apices 

 and the lateral eyes coarsely granular ; the median central and 

 median posterior keels forming an irregular series. Sternal plates 

 smooth, the last granular at the sides, and marked with four finely 

 granular crests. Tail of medium thickness, about five times the 

 length of the carapace, with it normal keels well developed and 

 finely granular, the median lateral almost absent on the third, occupying 

 the posterior half of the area on the second ; the intercarpal spaces of 

 the sides and lower surface of the tail finely granular, the keels only
