82 A RE-EXAMINATION OF AUSTRALIAN PYCNOGONIDA, 



Abdomen is long and narrow and slightly expanded at 

 the apex. 



Cheloijliores are as described by Haswell. 



Palps consist of ten joints, not of nine as stated by 

 Haswell. As Loman has suggested, the single basal joint 

 in the original description really consists of two joints. The 

 most proximal is short and thick, the next is quite small. 

 The remainder agree with Haswell's- description, except of 

 course that in numbering the joints allowance must be 

 made fo'r the missing segment. 



Ovigers are ten jointed. Unfortunately they are miss- 

 ing in the case of the spirit specimen. The length of the 

 joints agrees with Haswell's account. 



Legs. — ^Genital openings, female, occur on the coxae of 

 all legs. For the rest, there is nothing to add to HaswelFs 

 description.
