CHELIFERID^ AND GARYPID^ IX THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 69 



palps are coarsely granular, with the exception o£ the smooth fingers and 

 indistinctly granular lower surface. The hairs are extremely short and obtuse. 

 The troclianter, which is about 1'5 as long as wide, is strongly convex in front 

 and posteriorly somewhat produced towards the end ; the ventral tubercle is 

 almost obsolete. The femur, which is 3'2 as long as wide, has a short fairly 

 well-detined stalk and almost straight lateral outlines. The tiUa, which has 

 a short and well-defined stalk (beyond which it is somewhat widened out), is 

 much shorter and a little narrower than the femur, and is 2' 4 as long as wide ; 

 anteriorly as well as posteriorly a not very well-marked basal elevation is 

 found, beyond which outlines are first almost straight and then slightly convex. 

 The cliela, which is about 3*2 as long as wide, is 1"7 as wide as the tibia ; the 

 hand is 1'5 as long as wide, wider than deep, and about 1*1 shorter than the 

 fingers ; the anterior outline of the hand is strongly convex, but the posterior 

 only slightly so. The immovable finger, which dorsally beyond the middle 

 becomes suddenly depressed, has about 25 pointed conical teeth from near 

 base to tip, removed from each other as much as a tooth is wide at the base ; 

 in addition to these 18 conical accessory teeth, more widely apart, are found 

 anteriorly from before middle to tip. The movable finger has about 35 teeth, 

 changing from a low, closely placed one at base to pointed conical ones placed 

 distally and more apart. The immovable finger has anteriorly at least about 

 six ^' spots " placed in the middle in a longitudinal row. 



Coxce (PI. 9. fig. 23). — The coxse, especially the fourth pair, are of an 

 elongated appearance as shown in figures, somewhat resembling those of 

 G . fioridensis, Bks. 



Legs (PL 9. figs. 24 & 25). — The proximal joints are distinctly granular ; the 

 hairs are dorsally most often short and obtuse, ventrally longer and pointed. 

 The arolium extends distinctly beyond the claws. The basal femoral part of 

 the first pair of legs, which is distinctly widened out towards the end and 

 here deeper than the distal part, is about twice as long as deep, I'o as long- 

 as the distal ; the tarsal joints, of which the first is 1"1 as long as the second, 

 is 1-5 as long as the tibia. The femur of the fourth pair of legs is 2-7 as long- 

 as deep, and the tibia is about I'l as long as the tarsal joints. 



Colour. — The palps have trochanter yellowish and the chela reddish brown ; 

 the cephalothorax brown with the posterior portion in the middle yellowish. 

 The first tw^o abdominal tergites with a median and two lateral dark spots, 

 and the following two median and two lateral spots, sometimes in front 

 connected with a transverse band ; the median spots always darker brown 

 than the lateral ; the skin between yellowish.
