1 have seen only one female, which was found by Mr. Pease. Pro- 

 fessor Erichson has described a little smaller male (two inches long) ; 

 the description agrees very well. Erichson remarks that the third 

 pair of legs and the fourth possess a hook. 



This species is apparently of the same group as C. pemcUkctus. It 

 differs in the strongly tuberculated hands, the much enlarged lamina 

 of the antennae, and the small areola. This species and A. pellucidus 

 have the lamina of the antenna:* most dilated near the tip. all other 

 species of this group have the greatest dilatation behind the middle 

 and nearer the base.

 at least with the female described by me.
