DESCRIPTIONS OF SCORPIONS FROM INDIA. 117 



Chelce. — Longer than in i". Iceviceps, the movable digit quite as long 

 as the carapace and only slightly shorter than the hand-back. £ In 

 /. Iceviceps there are two conspicuous bristle pores on the basal half of 

 the immovable digit, the first of which is quite at the base of the 

 finger, while in /. punctulatus there are three pores, the first on the 

 base of the digit being of small size, while the two large ones are 

 farther along the segment. The process at the base of the brachium 

 is also smaller in I. punctulatus ; and lastly in /. Iceviceps the lower side 

 of the tarsi is furnished with two pairs of bristles, one on each side 

 of the median row of spicules, but in I. punctulatus the external distal 

 bristle is converted into a spine. 



9. Chete and tail shorter than in the <£, the tail about three times 

 the length of the carapace, which is as long as its first two segments 

 and one-third of the next. 



Pectinal teeth 5. 



Measurements in millimetres. $. Total length- 62, tail 30, cara- 

 pace 8. 



locality. — Koimbatur, Anamallai Hills ( W. Davidson). 

 Genus Hormurus ( Thorell). 

 (18.) — Hormukus nigripes, sp. n. 



Most nearly related to Hormurus australasice, which is widely 

 distributed from Burma throughout Indo- and Austro-Malaya. 



Colour. — Piceous above, paler below ; vesicle clear yellow. 



Trunk finely punctulate above, without granules, carapace with a 

 deeper median excision, the triangular frontal selerite small. 



Tail, — A little more than twice the length of the carapace, much less 

 strongly compressed than in H. australasice, the first segment with four 

 teeth at the hinder end of the lower surface, the second with its four 

 lower keels strongly dentate, keels of the third and fourth smooth, except 

 for the presence of a terminal granule on the superior keels. 



Chelce. — Differing from those of H. australasice in having a much 

 smaller basal process on the brachium, the posterior external angle 

 of the hand more prominent, and the posterior surface of the inner 

 lobe considerably more oblique. 



Pectinal teeth 6. 



Measurement in millimetres. Total length 35, length of tail 14, of 

 carapace 6*3. 



Locality.— Panch Mahals in Guzerat (W. A. Wallinger ; Type) ; also 

 5&. second specimen from Sutna, Central India (Surg.-Major Gimlette.)
