Palps (PL XXIX. figs. 4 a-b). — The maocillce are almost smooth in the middle, but 

 granular laterally ; the palps are distinctly granular all over, with the exception of the 

 fingers and part of the hand on the under surface. The hairs are fairly long and 

 moderately clavate on the trochanter and femur; these hairs pass gradually into those 

 of the tibia and hand, which are slightly clavate or obtuse. The trochanter, which 

 has a short and well-defined stalk, is 1"7 as long as wide; the anterior outline is 

 distinctly convex, while the posterior is slightly produced ventrally and dorsally rises 

 into a rather high, strongly rounded protuberance. The femur has a fairly long, 

 badly defined stalk, beyond which it is distinctly widened out to a point somewhat 

 behind the middle. It is about 4 times as long as wide ; anteriorly beyond a low and 

 short basal elevation it is moderately concave, while posteriorly it becomes gradually 

 slightly convex just beyond the stalk and again towards its termination, but between 

 it is almost straight. The tihia, which is distinctly wider and shorter than the femur, 

 has a fairly long and well-defined stalk and is about 3 as long as broad; the anterior 

 outline beyond the stalk is very slightly convex and then towards the tip a trifie 

 concave, while the posterior beyond the condylus and elongated fairly distinct basal 

 elevation is straight or slightly concave and then moderately convex. The chela is 

 3'5 as long as wide ; the hand, which is distinctly narrower than the trochanter is 

 long, is scarcely 1'2 as short as but 1"5 as wide as tibia ; it is 1"S as long as wide, 

 distinctly wider than deep, and scarcely 1"1 as long as fingers, which scarcely gape 

 when closed. Anteriorly no '■'spots" were observed, but posteriorly the immovable 

 finger has three and the movable one, as figured (fig. 4 h). 



Coccce. — The coxse scarcely differ from those of Ch. rufus Balz. {cf. text-fig. 64). 



Legs, — The femora and tibise, at least, with scale-shaped granules ; the hairs are 

 fairly long and dorsally more or less distinctly clavate ; most distinctly so in the femur 

 and tibia of the fourth pair of legs ; ventrally they are pointed and almost or 

 completely simple. The trochanters as well as the trochantins of the legs possess a 

 longer and more slender hair on the ventral surface. A tarsal " tactile " hair is present 

 ^ removed from the base and a little longer than distance to tip. The trochantin of 

 the first pair of legs is somewhat wider than the femur proper and has an articulation 

 like that in the preceding species. The tibia, which is rather short and clumsy, 

 is 1"1 as long as the tarsus, which is 4'4 as long as deep. The femur of the 

 fourth pair of legs is 2'5 as long as deep, 1"1 as long as tibia, and 1"6 lower than 

 tarsus long. 



Colour. — Palps are reddish brown. Cephalothorax is dark brown, with two yellowish 

 spots on second tergite ; the abdominal tergites are lighter brown, each with a 

 yellowish spot on each half. 



Measurements. — Cephalothorax 0"805 (0"647) ; abdomen 1*610 (0"920) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-391 (0-230); femur 0-805 (0-195); tibia 0-713 (0-230); hand 

 0-621 (0-345), depth 0-299 ; finger 0-575 mm.
