:width of the tubercle or of the labium. Labium almost as long as 

 wide, densely spinulose. 



Mandibles robust, the curvature of the upper and anterior 

 surface studded amidst the hairs with a number of smooth round 

 jet-blacic granules ; the lower half of the outer surface almost 

 naked, the inferior margin granular behind and armed internally 

 with 11 blunt teeth. 



Legs longish, robust, 4, 1, 2, 3; the 4th exceeding the 1st by a 

 little less than the length of its tarsus ; patella and tibia of 4th 

 only slightly longer than of the 1st (26 mm. : 2.5-3) ; the patellae of 

 the two about equal, but the femur, tibia, and protarsus of the 

 4th respectively longer ; the 4th leg also stouter than the 1st, its 

 femur, patella, and tibia being noticeably thicker, the distal end of 

 its femur a little wider than the patella, which is also wider than 

 the tibia, the width of the patella less than half its length and 

 about equal to its height, the width and height of the tibia about 

 equal and just about one- third of its length, the protarsus distinctly 

 although not very much longer than the tibia (17'5 and lo"5 mm.). 

 The legs unarmed except for a few spines at the apices of the pro- 

 tarsi ; the setae on the legs are few in number and not long ; there 

 is a curious brush of hairs on the upperside of the coxa and tro- 

 chanter of the 1st and 2nd legs. 



Palp reaching almost to the apex of the tibia of the 1st leg; 

 the area on the inner surface of the maxilla lying between the 

 suture and the oral fringe normally hairy, the whole appendage 

 unarmed ; tibia and tarsus about equal in length, the tarsus longer 

 than that of the other appendages. 



Abdomen elongate, oval. Posterior spinner equal to length of 

 3rd protarsus. 



c? . Carapace broader and flatter than in the $ ; legs longer ; 

 mandibles smaller but more noticeably tubercular; patella aud 

 tibia of 1st leg longer than of 4th ; the legs also considerably 

 more bristly than in the 5 , especially on the posterior tarsi and 

 protarsi, the posterior tibiae also relatively thicker. Length of 

 carapace equal to that of tibia -f protarsus of 3rd leg and only 

 slightly excelling tarsus and protarsus of 2nd ; its width equalling 

 femur of 4th ; in 5 length of carapace almost equals that of 

 tibia, protarsus, and tarsus of 3rd leg, and tarsus and protarsus + 

 three-quarters of the tibia of the 2n(i. Palp as in the following 

 species, H. crassipes, except that the spine of the organ lies a little 

 nearer the bulb and the triangular tooth is a little more pro- 

 minent. 



Measurements in millimetres. — S • Total length 47 ; length of 

 carapace 21-3, width 18-8 ; width across cephalic sulci 11 ; length 

 of 1st leg 66, of 2nd 58, of 3rd 51, of 4th 71 ; patella and tibia 

 of 1st 26-5, of 4th 25-5 ; length of tibia of 4th 15-3, width 5. 



5 . Total length 54 ; length of carapace 27, width 22 ; abdomen, 

 length 27, width 18 ; length of sternum 11*5, width 10 ; 1st leg 

 65, 2nd 56, 3rd 53, 4th 73-5 ; patella and tibia of 1st 25, of 4th 

 27 ; length of tibia of 4th 15-3, width 5.
