IN THE BRITISH AJSTD COPENHAGEN MUSEUMS. 237 



Each of these bodies is composed of very small rings, placed close together, the two 

 small ones on the seventh sternite consisting of 20 each, and the single bigger one on 

 the eighth sternite composed of 50. No spines were observed placed within these 

 rings as in other species of this group, but nevertheless in all probability they 

 are present. 



Antennm. — The terminal hair extends in a slight degree beyond the galea, which 

 has live short distal teeth. 



Pal]}S (PI. XXIX. figs. 5 h-c). — The maxillce are smooth in the middle, but laterally 

 slightly granular ; the palps are distinctly granular, with the exception of the fingers 

 and part of the hand below. The rather short hairs are moderately clavate on the 

 trochanter and femur, slightly so on the tibia, and only obtuse on the hand. The 

 trochanter-, which has a short, well-defined stalk, is 1"8 as long as wide; the anterior 

 surface is distinctly convex, while the posterior surface is only slightly convex below, 

 but above is fairly distinctly produced. Femur has a short, not well-limited stalk, 

 beyond which it is of almost equal width throughout. It is scarcely 3 "7 as long as 

 wnde ; anteriorly it is almost straight ; posteriorly slightly convex basally and 

 terminally, but straight between. The tibia, which is little, but yet distinctly, wider 

 than the femur, has a fairly short and well-defined stalk and is scarcely three times as 

 long as hroad ; the anterior outline beyond the stalk is very slightly convex, while the 

 posterior beyond the small condylus and fairly well-marked basal elevation is straight 

 and then slightly convex. The chela is about 3'9 as long as wide ; the hand, which is 

 distinctly narrower than the trochanter is long, is only a little shorter than, but 1-3 

 as broad as, tibia ; it is distinctly twice as long as wide, somewhat wider than deep, and 

 about I'l as long as fingers, which do not gape when closed. The immovable finger 

 has anteriorly only a single " spot^' placed between the basal and the median tactile 

 hairs, but posteriorly three spots (fig. 5 c) ; the movable finger only bears three spots, 

 placed close together posteriorly. 



Coxm (PI. XXIX. fig. 5^). — The first two pairs are not in any marked degree difiTerent 

 from those of Ch. rufus Balz. {cf. text-fig. 64), but the third is less distinctly triangular, 

 as the inner margin is rounded and not pointed ; the fourth pair differ distinctly in 

 possessing a markedly less concave posterior margin. 



Legs. — Proximal joints at least with scale-shaped granules. The hairs of the dorsal 

 side of the femur, the tibia, and basally even the tarsus of the fourth pair of legs are more 

 or less distinctly clavate, while the corresponding hairs of the first pair are obtuse and 

 dentated ; hairs of ventral side pointed and more or less simple ; the trochanters as 

 well as the trochantins possess ventraily a very long and slender hair. A tarsal 

 " tactile " hair, scarcely one-fourth removed from the end and almost twice as long as 

 this distance, is present. The trochantin of the first pair of legs is somewhat wider 

 than the femur proper, and the articulation is like that previously described 

 [cf. above) ; the tarsus is a little longer than the tibia and 4'2 as long as deep. The
