 the ?. 



Palpi; humerus coarsely granular above, smooth at the distal end ; 

 bracMum subcostate, somewhat coarsely granular or sub- granular 

 behind, denticulate in front ; mamis convex, thickly covered above 

 with smooth, slightly anastomosing, tubercles, nearly smooth or 

 weakly granular beneath, with two more or less distinct rows of 

 larger sharper granules, the inner border closely denticulate, convex, 

 the hand but little produced posteriorly, the movable dactylus greater 

 than the length of the 'hand-back/ length of the 'hand-back' a little 

 less than the width of the hand in $ or much greater than it is in 

 adult $ . 



Legs, nearly smooth, the femora granular beneath. 



Pectines in ? 11-12 teeth, in S 13-15 teeth. 



Measurements in Millimetres : — 



? Total length about 97, length of cephalothorax 14*5, width 14; 

 length of tail 45, of 1st segment 5, of 2nd 6 (of both ITS), of 4th

6 Total length 104 ; length and width of cephalothorax 17; length 

 of tail 68, of first two segments 14, of 4th 9*2, of 5th 13'5, vesicle and 

 aculeus 13, width of 1st 7*3, of 5th 5-2, of vesicle 5-2 ; length of

The museum has specimens of this species from Madras. Mr. 

 Thurston has. sent a male example from this locality and a female 

 from the Sheveroy Hills. In the form of the palpus this male agrees 

 closely with the one I have described, but the tail is certainly shorter. 



The following measurements may be compared : — 



Length of cephalothorax 16'5, of first two caudal segments 12, of 

 4th 7-5, of 5th 10. 



The largest example in the Museum collection measures 110 mm. 

 in length. This is a d . 



This species may prove to be synonymous with Sc. ceylonicus, 

 Herbst (loc. cit. pp. 83-84, pi. v., fig. 1) — a species that seems to me
