almost 1"2 as broad as the trochanter is long ; the hand, which is somewhat 

 longer than, but 1'4 as broad as, the tibia, is 1*6 as long as wide, but 1"5 as 

 long as deep, almost I'l deeper than wide, and 1*4 as long as the finger, 

 which is scarcely 1"1 as long as the hand is deep ; the outlines o£ the hand are 

 straight or slightly convex. Anteriorly, the immovable finger has about seven 

 spots in a longitudinal row, three being placed behind the basal " tactile " 

 hairs, and the movable five basally ; posteriorly the immovable finger has 

 two " spots ■" and the movable three, arranged as shown in fig. 14. 



CoxcB. — The cox8e are very similar to those figured of Ch. nidificator, Balz. 

 (cf. 19. fig. 36 c), the second and the third pair being short and distinctly 

 widened out towards the end, and the fourth pair being trapezoidal and not 

 at all widened out, with the inner margin longer than the somewhat concave 

 hinder. 



Legs. — Pointed, stifi^, moderately long, and not completely simple hairs 

 present, in addition to a long completely simple hair, placed dorsally at the 

 tip of femur IV. ; tarsal " tactile " hair basal and much shorter than the 

 tarsus. The legs are moderately long and slender ; the articulate cavity of 

 the trochantin of the first pair of legs is very wide ; the tibia of the first pair 

 of legs is 1*1 as long as the tarsus, which is 4*8 as long as deep. The/<?m?Y/>' 

 of the fourth pair of legs is 2*7 as long as deep, 1*1 as long as the tibia, and 

 I'l lower than tarsus is long. 



Colour. — The palps are reddish brown with the hand darkest. The cephalo- 

 thorax and tergal sclerites pale brown. 



Measurements. — Cephalothorax 0'920 (0"851) ; abdomen 4*0 (1'6) mm. 



Palps : trochanter 0'483 (0-310) ; femur 0-828 (0-375) ; tibia 0-865 

 (0-414) ; hand 0-897 (0*565), depth 0-610; finger 0-647 mm. 



Leg I. : femur 0-608 (0-190), trochantin 0-137 (0*213) ; tibia 0-486 (0-140) ; 

 tarsus 0-441 (0-091) mm. 



Leg IV. : femur 0-798 (0*296); tibia 0*684 (0*185); tarsus 0*494 (0-114) 

 mm.

Antennce. — The terminal hair extends distinctly beyond the galea, which 

 has three almost obsolete distal teeth. 



Falps. — The granulation is much better marked than in the female, being- 

 very distinctly marked anteriorly, less distinctly posteriorly, and very slightly 

 dorsally. The trochanter appears slightly bigibbose, as the dorsal protu- 

 berance is deeper and somewhat conical. The tihia is scarcely twice as long- 

 as wide, and its posterior outline is beyond the basal elevation first a trifle 

 concave and then distinctly convex, the convexity being much better marked 

 than the anterior one, as well the corresponding one in the female. The chela is 

 2-6 as long as wide ; the hand, which is scarcely as long as the tibia and 1*2 

 as wide, is only 1-5 longer than wide, 1-4 longer than deep, and 1*3 as long 

 as the finger. The immovable finger has anteriorly about five " spots,^' less
