Synopsis of Species *. 



a. Hand I'l as long as finger or shorter. 



a\ Second thoracic tergite with two white spots. Ocular spots. 

 Chela is 3'5 as long as wide ; hand at least 1*1 as long as tibia. 



Femur IV. 2-5 as long as deep Q. Ch. nobilis, sp. n., c? ■ 



b^. Second thoracic tergite uni color. 



a\ Real eyes. Chela at least 3-4 as long as wide, c? tergites 

 not serrated and fingers of palps scarcely gaping. Femur IV. 

 2'7-3 as long as deep. 

 a\ Fingers 1"25 as long as hand, which is distinctly shorter than 



the tibia. Maxillae almost smooth 4. Ch. proximus Ell. 



V. Fingers not more than 1*1 as long as hand. 



a*. Tibia 1-2 longer than the hand. Maxillae distinctly 

 granular all over. Femur 5-4 (J') or 4 (?) as long as 

 wide and the hand as long as finger. Hairs distinctly 

 clavate. VII.-IX. sternites {^) with spinous areas not 



circular and with spines apart 5. CA. rufus Balz, 



6*. Tibia as long as hand. Maxillae almost smooth. Femur 

 3-7 as long as wide and hand about I'l as long as finger. 

 Hairs slightly clavate. VII.-VIII. sternites ( S ) with a 

 single one or a pair of circular areas with spines (?) close 



together 7. Ch. canesirinii Balz., ^ . 



h'. Ocular spots. Chela 2'8-3 as long as wide. Tergites of S 

 with hindmost margin serrated, and fingers of palps distinctly 

 gaping. Femur IV. 2-2*2 as long as deep, 

 a'. Trochanter beneath with long conical process . . 10. Ch. satanas, sp. n., ^ . 

 b\ Trochanter beneath without a conical process . . 9. Ch. segmentidentatus Balz. 



b. Hand at least 1"2 as long as finger. 



a\ Femur with basal anterior apophysis; hand I'l as wide as tibia 



and 1-7 as long as finger 12. Ch. exilimanus Balz. 



* CheUfer emigrans Tullgr. (23. pp. 35-36, fig. 5), from Brazil, certainly belongs to this group. It is 

 similar to Oh. insignis, sp. n., by number of tergal hairs in front of row, but differs by wider abdomen and 

 more slender palps.
