than patella and tibia; trochant rs of the fourth leg very long, visi- 

 ble from above. Femoral, tibial and metatarsal spines on the four 

 pairs; patellary- spines on the third and fourth; metatarsus of the 

 fourth with spines to base. 



Integument entirely covered with thick pubescence. 

 Nearest xElurops Thorell, agreeing with that genus in having the upper 



part of tlie frons so prominent that the anterior eyes are hidden from 



above; and differing from it m that the tibia of the fourth leg is at least 



as long as the metatarsus with thn tarsus.

Ceplmlothorax moderately long, almost parallel; thoracic part a third the 

 longer, not dilated; cephalic part plane and a little inclined, limited 

 by a very slight depressioh. 



Clypeus very obliquely inclined, scarcely half as wide as the middle eyes. 



Eyes of the face very unequal, scarcely sepai'ated, in a'straight line. Doi'- 

 sal eyes very convex, scarcely smaller than the lateral, and a little 

 nearer together. Qua'irangle a third wider than long; dorsal eyes 

 further from each other than from the lateral borders. 



Sternum moderately wide, contracted in front. Anterior coxae freparated 

 by the width of the lip; fourth coxae a little the longest. 



Falces a little shorter than the face, and narrower, not robust, and in- 

 clined. 



Legs (i) 3,4,1,2; the firsthand second pairs almost equal and much shorter 

 than the other's; (i)4-3,l,2. Tibia and patella of the first a third 

 shorter than the cephalothoraxand almost equal, of the same length 

 as the tarsus and metatarsus which are equal. ( 6 ) Femur, patella^ 

 tibia and metatarsus of the third longer and much more robust than 

 those of the fourth pair, ornamented with long hairs, which are very 

 thick and disposed in longitudinal lines; ( $ ) third and fourth legs 

 a little more alike. Tibia and patella of the fourth a little longer 

 than the metatarsus, tibia of the fourth longer than the patella, 

 parallel and cylindrical. Very long femoral, patellary ( ? on the 

 posterior pairs), tibial and metatarsal spines; on the fourth pair met- 

 atarsal spines throughout the length of tlie articulation.
