48 DR. J. a. DE MAN ON THE PODOPliTHALMOUS 



The cephalotLorax has precisely the same form as thab of 

 Actumnus obesus, and is uniformly covered on its upper surface 

 with short yellow hairs. The regions are quite iudistinct, no 

 trace of divisional lines being found ; the upper surface is not 

 uniformly covered with granules as in A. obesus, but only a few 

 acute granules (15-20) are found on the antero-lateral regions, 

 which resemble the six granules with which the antero-lateral 

 margins are armed, but are much smaller. The front, the gastric, 

 cardiac, and intestinal regions are not covered with granules. 

 The frontal margin is divided by a small median incision in 

 two almost straight lobes, and passes laterally continuously ipto 

 the upper orbital margin, not being separated by a cleft irom 

 the internal orbital angles. The frontal or inner part of the 

 upper margin of the orbits makes nearly right angles both 

 with the frontal and the external, somewhat granular portion 

 of the upper orbital margin. The external angle of the orbits 

 is formed by a small, acute, spinuliform granule. The antero- 

 lateral margins are about as long as the postero-lateral, which 

 are smooth and concave ; they are armed with six small, acute, 

 spinuliform granules, which are arranged in three groups, two 

 in each. The inferior margin of the orbits is miuutely granular, 

 and presents a small triangular hiatus close to the external 

 orbital angle. The pterygostomian regions are glabrous and 

 nearly quite smooth, presenting only some minute granules near 

 the inferior margin of the orbits. The outer surface of the 

 maxillipeds, the sternum, and the lateral margins of the abdo- 

 men are clothed with yellow hairs. 



The chelipedes are of unequal size, the right chelipede being 

 the larger in all our specimens. The anterior margin of the 

 arm, which is very short, the antero -internal margin of the \\ rist, 

 and the upper margin of the hand and of the mobile finger are 

 clothed with a row of long yellow hairs. The upper surface of 

 the wrist and the outer surface of the larger hand are covered 

 with similar yellow hairs, disposed between the granules with 

 which they are provided. The larger hand wholly resembles that 

 of A. obesus, its outer surface being covered everywhere with acute 

 granules, disposed irregularly, those of the middle of the outer 

 surface being a little larger than those of the upper ; the 

 under margin presents a longitudinal line of granules on the 

 inner side, and is clothed with a row of long yellow hairs. The
