clavate or even obtuse. The trochanter, which has a rather short and distinct 

 stalk, is 1'6 as long as wide ; the anterior surface is moderately but somewhat 

 irregularly convex, while the posterior has the ventral margin slightly produced, 

 and dorsally distinctly so into a low conical protuberance, so that the trochanter 

 appears bigibbose. The femur has a short fairly well-limited stalk, beyond which 

 it is only slightly widened out towards the end. It is four times as long as wide ; 

 anteriorly beyond a low basal elevation it is first moderately concave and then 

 almost straight, while posteriorly it is slightly convex basally and terminally, but 

 almost straight between. The tibia, which is as long as, but distinctly wider than, 

 the femur, has a long well-defined stalk, and is 2-6 as long as wide. The anterior 

 outline is moderately convex, while the posterior beyond the only slightly pronounced 

 basal elevation is first straight and then slightly convex. The chela is 2'8 as long as 

 wide ; the hand, which is distinctly wider than the trochanter is long, is almost 

 1'2 as short as and 1'5 as wide as the tibia; it is 1'4 as long as broad, as wide as 

 deep, and scarcely 1"1 shorter than the fingers, which gape considerably when closed : 

 the outlines of the hand are strongly convex. The immovable finger bears marginal 

 teeth in the distal half, while the movable has only blunt teeth terminally ; anteriorly 

 the immovable finger has a single '■'■spot" beneath the median hair, and posteriorly 

 three spots {cf. figs. 7 d-e), while the movable finger has two spots anteriorly, but 

 three posteriorly. 



Coxce (PL XXIX. fig. If). — The second pair, and still more markedly the third 

 pair, have short interior margins and consequently appear triangular ; in the fourth 

 pair the rather short interior margin gradually merges into the concave posterior 

 one ; it is distinctly enlarged towards the extremity, appears triangular, and has the 

 postero-exterior corner produced backwards as a short point. 



Legs (PI. XXIX. figs. T g-i). — The proximal joints are granular; dorsally the 

 legs bear rather short hairs, which are distinctly clavate in the fourth pair of legs, 

 but only moderately or slightly so in the first pair ; ventrally they are pointed, and 

 more or less simple, in the fourth pair of legs as well as terminally in the first pair ; 

 trochanters and trochantins with usual " tactile " hairs ; a tarsal " tactile " hair, 

 I removed from the base, perhaps present. The trochantin, which is less deep than 

 the femur proper, is articulated to it in the usual way (fig. 7 h, cf. Ch. rufus Balz.) ; 

 the tibia is scarcely 1-1 as long as the tarsus, which is about 4-5 as long as deep. 

 The femur of the fourth pair of legs, which is very abruptly raised beyond the stalk 

 and somewhat attenuated towards the end, is almost twice as long as deep, 1-2 as 

 long as tibia, and 1-2 lower than tarsus long. The legs are, as a whole, exceedingly 

 short and clumsy.
