Abdomen (PI. XXIX. fig. 6 a). — Rather depressed abdomen, not very much 

 longer than wide. All the tergites, except the eleventh and perhaps the first, are 

 longitudinally divided. The sclerites are distinctly granular, with scale-shaped 

 granules on all the dark-coloured portions, with the exception of the whole first 

 tergite and a very wide longitudinal band, which decreases towards the tip of the 

 abdomen, in correspondence to the gradual development of granulations along the 

 anterior margin ; the eighth and ninth tergites, for instance, are almost entirely 

 granular, while the two following are completely so. The tergites possess along 

 the hindmost margin a row of from 10-12 moderately long and clavate hairs, in 

 addition to 6 in front of the row on the V.-X. segments ; the eleventh tergite has at 

 least one pair of long slender " tactile " hairs. 



The genital area appears almost completely similar to that of Ch. rufus Balz. 

 (cf. text-fig. 64). The sternites are almost smooth in the middle, but slightly granular 

 laterally ; the eleventh bears two pairs of " tactile " hairs ; the IV.-X. sternites are 

 longitudinally divided. This longitudinal line is in the VII.-IX. sternites widened 

 out, so that an almost circular pale area is established (PL XXIX. fig. 6 a) ; within 

 each of these areas spines are placed rather apart from each other in a varying 

 number (from about 15-25), which is always greatest in the eighth sternite and 

 smallest in the seventh. 



Antennce. — The terminal hair extends in a small degree beyond the short galea, 

 with a few short teeth (cf. lo. fig. 16 5, d ). 



Palps (PI. XXIX. figs. 6 i-c). — The maxillce are almost smooth in the middle^ 

 distinctly granular laterally ; the trochanter is distinctly granular above, while the 

 other joints are almost or completely smooth. The short hairs of the trochanter, and 

 the femur partly, are moderately clavate, while those of tibia and hand are slightly 

 clavate or obtuse. The palps are exceedingly long and slender, much longer than 

 the body. The trochanter, w^hich has a fairly long and well-defined stalk, is almost 

 2"3 as long as wide ; the anterior surface is very slightly convex, while the posterior 

 is almost straight, ventrally and dorsally produced into a low rounded protuberance. 

 The femur has a short, not well-limited stalk, beyond which it is gradually, but in 

 a very high degree, widened out towards the end. It is 6*3 as long as wide ; anteriorly 

 beyond a short and low basal elevation it is almost straight, and so it is posteriorly, 

 but for a slightly marked convexity terminally. The tibia, which is as long, but 

 scarcely as wide, as the femur, has a rather short well-defined stalk and is 6 "4 as 

 long as wide ; the anterior surface beyond the stalk is slightly convex, while the 

 posterior beyond the well-marked basal elevation is moderately concave ; the whole 

 joint is very much widened out towards the extremity. The chela is 4*7 as long as 

 wide; the hand, which is 1-7 narrower than the trochanter is long, is 1-5 as short 

 as and 1"6 wider than the tibia ; it is 2*8 as long as wide, somewhat wider than 

 deep, and 1"5 as long as the fingers, which gape a trifle when closed ; the lateral
