teeth (PL 10. figs. 45-47). The palps seem to be some>vhat more clumsy, 

 but their hand is only 1'2 as long as the finger. The legs are less slender, 

 but only in a slight degree, as seen when comparing the measurements.

Material. — Of this pretty little species I have examined five males and six 

 females, all collected in Funafuti by Professor Sollas, and by Pocock wrongly 

 referred to Olp. longiventer, Keys. 



Remarks. — This species is easily distinguished from Olp. longiventer. Keys., 

 for instance, by the much shorter and clumsy palps, with the femur 2*5 

 instead of four times as long as wide. This species is related to G. nohilis, 

 With, and shows in the shape of the palps the nearest similarity to it, but its 

 flagellum consists of three hairs instead of four, its basal femoral part is 

 longer, and the areola are not bifurcate.

Ceplialotlwrax (PI. 10. fig. 48). — Eyes placed on the lateral margin, and 

 distant from the front margin less than the diameter of the first pair. 

 The ceplialotlwrax is distinctly longer than wide and narrows somewhat in 

 front of the first pair of eyes, forming a short mcullus, which has the 

 front margin obtuse-angled. Skin without transverse grooves and smooth 

 with simple hairs. 



Abdomen. — The long and slender abdomen has the smooth and polished 

 tergites divided by a longitudinal line from the fourth to the tenth. Long and 

 pointed hairs are present in addition to "tactile" ones in the last two 

 segments. 



A7itennce (PI. 10. figs. 49 & 50).— The^aZm, which extends somewhat beyond 

 the terminal hair, has three terminal branches (fig. 49). The sernda 

 exterior (fig. 50 ; cf. 18. fig. 2, p. 17) has basal tooth distinctly widened out 

 and terminal almost free and fairly slender, while those between are squarely 

 truncate. The flagellum (fig. 50) consists of four hairs, of which the 

 anterior has several marginal teeth, while the two following have a few. 

 Lamina interior with well-divided plate-shaped portion and five more or less 

 distinct dentated lobes in addition to the terminal spine. 



Falps (PL 10. fig. 51). — The palps are smooth, with fairly long pointed 

 hairs. The trochanter is slightly convex anteriorly and somewhat produced 

 behind. The femur, which is about three times as long as wide, has a short
