80 MR, C. J. WITH ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF 



stalk and almost straight outlines. The tibia, which is about as long as, but 

 wider than, the femur, has a moderately short stalk and slightly convex 

 outlines. The chela, which is at least 3'5 as long as broad, is about 1*2 as 

 long as the tibia, with almost straight lateral outlines ; the hand is a trifle 

 longer than the finger. 



Legs (PI. 10. figs. 52 & 53). — The arolia extend distinctly beyond the claws 

 and are bifurcate. The femur of the first pair of legs has a basal trochantin 

 and a tibia which is of about equal length to the tarsal joints, of which the 

 second is much longer than the first. The femur of the fourth pair of legs 

 is at least twice as long as deep, and the tibia is much longer than the tarsal 

 joints. 



Colour. — The palps are pale reddish brown ; the cephalothorax and, in 

 a less degree, the abdomen are darker brown. 



Measurements. — Cephalothorax 0'56 (0'51) ; abdomen 1'8 (0*75) mm. 



Material, etc. — During a stay in London I examined a single female (?) of 

 this form from Kauai, one of the most western islands of the Sandwich 

 Archipelago, and by E. Simon wrongly identified with Olp. longiventer, 

 Keyserling. As I had the opportunity of examining this interesting species 

 only a few days before leaving, I had no time to furnish a more detailed 

 description ; but the above will certainly be more than sufficient for a sure 

 identification. 



As hitherto no species of Garypi^ius, Dad., has been recorded from Africa, 

 I shall only mention that Dr. Ansorge has collected at Huxe in Benguela 

 a young form of this genus.

Of this most interesting species I have examined a large number of 

 specimens from lUe-et-Vilaine, France, viz. five females and a single male 

 from Le Bosq and fourteen females and five males from Bois de Lupin,-and 

 mention it in this paper on account of the most remarkable structure of the 

 antennge. While the galea of Ch. museo7'um. Leach, is a simple stiletto, and 

 in Ch. corticum, Balzan, somewhat branched in the female but simple in the 

 male (5. tab. xiv. fig. 8), it consists in the female of this species of three 

 independent, pointed and unbranched " galea' J'' one placed somewhat above 

 the other (fig. 54) and slightly extending beyond the terminal hair. 

 When these three " galese " are observed from the sides (fig. 53) they 

 seem to be basally fused, and are perhaps to be regarded as branches only 

 of a trifid galea with an exceedingly short basal part. Li the male only 

 two rather short "galea?" are observed (figs. 56 & 57). The serrula is very
