segment posteriorly and distinctly lobate ; vesicle small, coarsely 

 punctured, not granular. 



Chelce.— With humerus thickly granular above, brachium nearly 

 smooth, with keels strong and crenulate ; nine rows of teeth on

Legs, — With femora coarsely and patellae more finely granular. 

 Pectinal teeth in $ 17-19, $ 19-21.

Locality (of type). — Kandala Tal, Satara, S. Dekhan {A. D.

 differ from the specimen from Kandala Tal in having the basal segments 

 of the tail darker. 



This species resembles the type of the genus Butheolusj namely 

 B. thalassinus from Aden, in having the tergal plates tricostate, but 

 differs entirely from it in having the fourth and fifth segments of the 

 tail smooth and punctured below instead of granular and carinate.

 the eyes alone black.

 in width and wider than the rest ; segments 1-3 with ten granular 

 keels (the median lateral weak on the third), with granular intercarinal 

 spaces ; the lower surface of the fourth covered with granules, with 

 evanescent keels and obsoletely punctured, the sides of this segment 

 distinctly punctured ; fifth segment punctured laterally and below^ but 

 the posterior half of its lower side thickly granular ; the inferior lateral 

 keels distinct, finely granular behind, dentate posteriorly ; a weak
