50 MK. C. J. WITH ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF 



V . Hairs fairly long and pointed. Hand less than I'l as 



long as tibia and less than 1-4 as long as fingers, which 



are of about equal length. 



a'. Abdomen distinctly granular laterally. Femur 2'1 



and chela 3'3 as long as wide ; tibia slightly convex 



and hand almost straight anteriorly 3. Cli. taierensis, sp. n. 



b'-. Abdomen not granular laterally. Femur 2'3 and 

 chela 3'1 as long as wide ; tibia as well as hand 

 distinctly convex anteriorly 4. Ch.funqfutensis, sp. n. 



1. Chelifer vigil, sp. n. (Plate 8. figs. 1 & 2 ; text-fig., p. 51.) 

 cJ . Ocular spots wanting. Cephalothorax somewhat wider than long, with 

 two rather indistinct transverse grooves and distinctly granular. The 

 short, somewhat flattened abdomen with distinctly granular sclerites and 

 with from fourteen to eighteen rather short and distinctly clavate hairs 

 along the hindmost row of each tergite in addition to four in front of the 

 row. Palps more or less distinctly granular, with short, slightly clavate 

 hairs on the anterior surface of the femur. The trochanter has anterior 

 outline distinctly convex and is posteriorly slightly but dorsally distinctly 

 produced ; femur, which is about 3 times as long as wide, is widened out 

 towards the extremity, anteriorly slightly concave and posteriorly almost 

 straight ; tibia 2*8 as long as wide, anteriorly moderately convex and 

 posteriorly slightly so. Chela, which is 4*3 as long as wide, is 1*3 

 narrower than the trochanter is long ; hand, which is about as long as 

 and 1"2 wider than the tibia, is a little wider than deep and 1*3 as long- 

 as finger. Tibia of the first pair of legs 1*2 as long as the tarsus, which 

 is 3*3 as long as deep ; femur IV. 2'7 as long as deep and 1'4 lower 

 than the tarsus is long. 



Cephalothorax. — No trace of eyes or ocular spots was observed. The 

 cephalothorax, which is somewhat broader behind than it is long, has an 

 anterior, fairly prominent transverse groove, which is slightly curved back- 

 wards in the middle, and a posterior very indistinct one. The integument is 

 everywhere strongly granular, with short clavate hairs. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen, which is only a little longer than wide and some- 

 what flattened, seems to have all the tergites with the exception of the eleventh 

 longitudinally divided. The sclerites are distinctly granular and the tergites 

 bear along their hindmost margin from fourteen to eighteen short and distinctly 

 clavate hairs in addition to four in front of the row. 



Antennce. — The terminal hair extends in a slight degree beyond the rather 

 short and clumsy galea, which in its distal half bears at least six short teeth. 

 The Jiagellum consists of three hairs. 



Palps (PI. 8. figs. 1 & 2). — The maxillae are almost smooth in the middle 

 but laterally slightly granular. The three proximal joints of the palps are
