58 MR. C. J. WITH ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF 



Abdomen. — The fairly long and slender abdomen, whicli has probably all 

 the tergites with the exception of the first and the eleventh longitudinally 

 divided, has the sclerites of the abdomen smooth and the dorso-ventral 

 membrane between the sternites and tergites striated longitudinally; the 

 tergites bear along their hindmost margin from 12-14 fairly long or 

 long, almost pointed or simple hairs. The eleventh tergite possesses at 

 least a single pair of " tactile " hairs, while the corresponding sternite 

 has two. 



AntenncB. — The rather short and slender galea, which extends somewhat 

 beyond the terminal hair, has in distal third about six rather short branches, 

 decreasing in length towards the tip. The fiagellum consists of three hairs, 

 of which the anterior has a few marginal branches. 



Palps (PL 8. figs. 9-12). — The maxillce are completely smooth and so 

 are the palps, with the exception of the minutely and indistinctly granular 

 anterior surfaces of the femur and tibia. The fairly long hairs are stiff, 

 pointed, and almost simple (a few may be obtuse). The trochaiiter, which is 

 about 1-5 as long as wide, is anteriorly slightly convex and posteriorly a 

 trifle produced ; dorsally it is prolonged into a rounded, somewhat conical, 

 not very deep protuberance. The femur, which has a rather short and fairly 

 well-defined stalk (beyond which it is somewhat attenuated towards the end), 

 is about 2-3 as long as wide ; the anterior outline is slightly convex and then 

 a trifle concave, while the posterior is beyond the stalk not very abruptly 

 convex and then very slightly so. The tiUa, which has a fairly long and 

 not very well-defined stalk, is longer and wider than the femur, and is about 

 2*2 as long as wide ; anteriorly it is beyond the stalk moderately convex and 

 then terminally slightly concave, while posteriorly it is beyond the rather 

 low condylus and elongated not very well-marked basal elevation first a 

 trifle concave and then slightly convex. The chela, which is about 3*1 as 

 lono- as wide, is I'l as broad as the trochanter is long ; the hand, which is 

 somewhat longer than the tibia and distinctly 1*3 wider, is I'l as long as 

 the fingers, which are 1-4 as long as the hand is wide, and which gape a 

 trifle when closed ; the lateral as well as the dorsal outlines of the hand are 

 slightly convex, while the ventral is almost straight. The fingers bear 

 apparently no accessonj teeth anteriorly, but posteriorly about five each 

 distally ; anteriorly nine and three (rather large) " spots " are observed on 

 the immovable and movable finger respectively, and posteriorly only two 

 basal ones on the immovable finger (cf. figs. 11 & 12). 



Coxce. — The second and third pairs are enlarged towards the extremity, 

 most distinctly the latter, while the fourth pair are trapezoidal with the inner 

 margin about as long as the hinder. 



Legs. — The proximal joints are smooth. The fairly long or long hairs are 

 dorsally pointed and stiff, with a few terminal teeth, those of the ventral side 

 are more slender and almost or completely simple ; dorsally, in the middle
