262 MK. C. J. WITH ON SOUTH-AMEEICAN CHELIFERIN^ 



19. Cheliper echikatus Ell. 

 1904. EUingsen, (i6) pp. 2-4. 



Cephalothorax strongly graiiulose, with two strong transverse grooves. Abdomen with 

 fairly long strongly clavate hairs. Hairs of palps posteriorly short, strongly clavate, 

 anteriorly very long, somewhat thickened; ih.e femur is 2-5 as long as wide; the tihia 

 with long stalk and strongly convex outlines; Jingers 1"5 as long as hand, which is I'o 

 as wide as tibia. — Patagonia. 



20. Chelifer foliosus Balz. 



1890. Balzan, (lo) pp. 427-428, tav. xiv. figs. 12-12 c"'. 



1891. Balzan, (ii) p. 548. 



Cephalothorax minutely granular, with two distinct grooves. Abdomen vs^ith granular 

 sclerites and with clavate hairs. Hairs of palps long and strongly clavate ; the femur 

 is about 3 as long as wide ; the tihia, which is 2'2 as long as wide, has lateral outlines 

 moderately convex. The hand, which is distinctly longer and 1-2 wider than the tibia, 

 is about 1-2 as long as fingers. — Paraguay. 



21. Chelifer germainii Balz. 



1890. Balzan, (lo) pp. 424-426, tav. xiv. figs. 10-10 c. 



1891. Balzan, (ii) p. 548. 

 1905. EUingseu, (17) pp. 1-3. 



Two distinct eyes. Cephalothorax minutely granular, with two grooves. Abdomen 

 with granular sclerites and distinctly clavate hairs. Palps granular, with distinctly 

 clavate hairs ; the femur is 3T as long as wide ; the tihia, which is 2-4 as long as 

 wide, has lateral outlines moderately convex. The hand, which is somewhat longer 

 and 1'4 wider than tibia, is 1"2 as long as finger. The second thoracic tergite is, 

 according to EUingsen, whitish with a dark spot in middle. — Matto Grosso and Ecuador. 



Balzan and EUingsen refer this species to their subgenus Chelifer ; on account of 

 the structure of flagellum, galea, and colour, I think it is most naturally placed in this 

 group in spite of real ("?) eyes. Until the structure of fingers and legs has been studied, 

 the question cannot be settled definitively. 



22. Chelifer antillarum, sp. n. (Plate XXX. figs. 13 a-b.) 



Cephalothorax. — The ocular spots are very indistinct. The cephalothorax, Avhich is 

 somewhat longer than wide, has the anterior almost straight transverse line fairly 

 distinct, in contradistinction to the slightly concave, almost obsolete, posterior one. 

 The integument is distinctly granular, at least in front, and bears rather short, distinctly 

 clavate hairs.
