Ler/s 4, 1, 2, 3 (from base of femur), 4th surpassiug 1st almost 

 by length of its tarsus ; 1st surpassing 2nd by half its tarsus, 2nd 

 surpassing 3rd by less than half its tarsus, 4th surpassing 3rd by 

 its tarsus aud one-tliird of its protarsus ; patella and tibia of 1st 

 and 4th about equal ; protarsus of 4th almost equal to patella and 

 tibia of 2nd ; tibia of 4th without inferior distal spines, of 3rd 

 with one anterior distal spine below ; tibia of 2nd and 1st with a 

 pair of inferior distal spines ; protarsus of 1st with two, of 2nd 

 with three, of 3rd and 4th with four inferior apical spines. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length of trunk 38, of 

 carapace 18-5, from fovea to anterior border 12-5 ; width of 

 carapace 16 ; length of palpus 34-5, of 1st leg 60, of 2ud 56, 

 of 3rd 52, of 4th 6S-5, of patella and tibia of 1st and 4th 22, of 

 4th protarsus IS. 



Loc. Voi. A single male example. 



This species and P. gregorii may be distinguished as follows : — 



a. Palp shorter; the carapace equal in length to its patella, 



tibia, and tarsus, its tibia not so long as that of the 2nd leg. 

 its width more than one-fourth of its length ; tibia of 3rd 

 and 4th legs with a pair of apical spines below gregorii Poo. 



b. Palp longer ; carapace only equalling its patella and libia, its 



tibia slightly longer than that of the 2nd leg and four 

 times as long as broad ; tibia of 4th leg without inferior 

 spines, that of the 3rd with one inferior distal spine hettoni, sp. n. 



In connection with this species it is interesting to observe the 

 absence of inferior spines upon the tibia of the 4th leg, since this 

 feature was mentioned by Karsch in his diagnosis of Pelinohius as 

 serving to distinguish that genus from the previously established 

 Phoneyusa. But, in spite of a strong suspicion I venture to enter- 

 tain that Pdinohius will prove to be synonymous with Phonei/usa, 

 I refrain from definitely uniting the genera, since M. Simon 

 declares the arrangement of the eyes to be different in the two. 

 The type of Pelinobius, namely muticus, was from Masailand (see 

 .IB. Hamburg. Wissen. Anst. ii. p. 135, 1885); but although 

 agreeing in the main with both gregorii and hettoni, it is certainly 

 the representative of a totally distinct species, if any reliance is to 

 be placed upon the figure and description. The legs, for example, 

 are said to be without spines, and they are evidently shorter as 

 compared with the size of the carapace ; for example, the width of 

 this plate is equal to the length of the 4th protarsus. 



Family Bartchelid.?:. 

 Genus Pisenokodes, nov. 



Allied to Pisenor Simon, but differing apparently in the structure 

 of the tarsus of the palp in the male. The tarsus is long and 

 slender, three times as long as wide, nearly as long as the tibia of 

 the palp, scopulate, but not bilobed at the apex, the papal bulb 

 arising from the base of its lower side. 



This new genus is proposed for the reception of the species,
