SPECIES OF GALEODID^E IN INDIA AND CEYLON. 445 



therefore cannot be used in distinguishing the species. The tarsi of 

 the fourth legs have the distal segment either without spines or with a 

 pair of spines and clothed with normal hairs, or furnished with a few 

 modified hairs ; the modified hairs on the other two segments are either 

 closely or scantily packed together and are long and lanceolate ; often, 

 when unfractured, terminating in a setiform apex ; they are much 

 longer and thinner than the corresponding modified setse in fatalis. 



Measurement in millimetres of largest example. — Total length of 

 trunk 30, width of head 8, length 6, length of mandible 1 1, of palp 

 42, of its tibia 13*5, width of latter 2, length of protarsus and tarsus 

 12, of fourth leg 49'5. 



Locality, Gwalior {British Museum), Birbhum and Delhi (Stoliczka). 



Of this species I have only seen four males, which were obtained 

 at the above locality. They are all alike in most of their characters, 

 although differing slightly in colour and in the features pointed out. 

 I can find no reasonable grounds for doubting that these specimens 

 are referable to the same species as those that Stoliczka figures as 

 orientalis. He seems, however, to have wrongly sexed his large 

 specimen as a $; it appears in reality to be a <£. 



My reasons for thinking that I have correctly determined the 

 above described examples are, that the largest example figured 

 by Stoliczka resembles those examined by me in possessing robust and 

 short palpi. 



(3) Galeodes agilis, sp. n. (PI. A, Figs. 1, 1 a). 



This species is very nearly related to G. orientalis, but is much 

 larger and has longer palpi and legs. Colour : head-plate is infuscate 

 anteriorly, the ocular tubercle black; mandibles pale above; palpi with 

 femur pale yellow, tibia deeply infuscate but paler at its two extrem- 

 ities; the protarsus and tarsus deeply infuscate, nearly black; the free 

 thoracic segments and abdomen infuscate above ; legs almost entirely 

 pale yellow, the femur and tibia of the fourth pair lightly infuscate. 



Ocular tubercle narrower than in G. orientalis ; mandibles rather 

 weaker, with the terminal fangs of the upper and lower jaws longer 

 and straighter, the terminal part of the flagellum a little longer as 

 compared with the distal portion. Palpi considerably longer than 

 in G. orientalis; the tibia twice as long as the width of the cephalic
