124 DE. J. G. DE MAN" ON THE PODOPHTHALMOTJS 



in the adult, these hairs are nearly wanting, being probably worn 

 off, so that the inner surface of the palm appears glabrous. 

 The inner surface of the fingers is always clothed with rather 

 long hairs. 



The meropodites of the antepenultimate and penultimate pairs 

 of the ambulatory legs are rather enlarged, so that those e. g. 

 of the antepenultimate pair are only twice and a half as 

 long as broad. The dactylopodites are lanceolate and much 

 depressed.

MacropTitJialmus tomentosus is a rather rare species, and has 

 hitherto been recorded only from the Philippine Islands, the 

 Aru Islands, and New Caledonia.

Two male specimens were collected along with the preceding 

 species. 



This species is most closely allied to Macrophthalmus japonicus, 

 de Haan, and I have already enumerated the distinctive characters 

 of both species in my note quoted above. In the form and struc- 

 ture of the cephalothorax both species completely resemble one 

 another. In these specimens the inferior margin of the palm 

 is rounded and granular, whereas in M. japonicus it is rather 

 acute. The upper margin of the mobile finger is smooth, while 

 in M. japonicus it is granular. The inner surfaces of the palms 

 and fingers are densely clothed with hairs.
