Abdomen. — The long and slender abdomen has apparently all the tergites, except 

 part of the eleventh, longitudinally divided. The sclerites have rather indistinct scale- 

 shaped granulations, and the tergites bear along their hinder margin 8-10 more or less 

 long and slender distinctly clavate hairs, in addition to two lateral hairs distinctly in 

 front of row and two median indistinctly so. The eleventh sternite has a pair of 

 rather short "tactile" hairs; similar ones probably found on corresponding tergite. 



Antenn(e.— The fairly slender galea, which has about six terminal teeth, extends 

 slightly beyond the terminal hair. 



Pal/ps (PI. XXX. figs. 13 a-h). — The maxillm are almost smooth. The palps are 

 indistinctly granular and striated above, below smooth but not polished. The hairs, 

 which vary much in length, are more or less strongly clavate, at least in the three 

 proximal joints, and basally in the hand, with the exception of a few which are 

 only dentated ; the clavate ones of the hand pass gradually into the pointed and more 

 or less simple ones of the fingers. The trochanter, which is 1"4 as long as wide, is 

 moderately convex anteriorly and slightly produced posteriorly ; dorsally it is prolonged 

 into a fairly high, somewhat rounded protuberance. The femur has a short and well- 

 defined stalk, beyond which it tapers towards the extremity. It is 2-3 as long as wide ; 

 anteriorly it is just beyond the base a trifle produced and then almost straight, and 

 posteriorly the outline beyond the rather abrupt basal convexity is almost straight and 

 then slightly convex. The tibia, which has a short not very well-defined stalk, is as 

 long as and a little wider than the femur, and just twice as long as broad ; the anterior 

 outline beyond the stalk is rather abruptly and strongly convex and then in a slight 

 degree concave, but the posterior beyond the very small condylus is almost straight and 

 then moderately convex. The chela, which is 2*6 as long as wide, is about 1"1 as broad 

 as the trochanter is long; the hand, which is scarcely as long as the tibia, but l*o 

 broader, is lb as long as wide, almost IT as wide as deep, and 1'3 as long as fingers, 

 which are somewhat longer than the hand is wide and which do not gape when closed ; 

 the lateral and the dorsal outlines are moderately convex, while the ventral is only 

 slightly so. Anteriorly the immovable finger has a single accessory tooth distinctly 

 beyond the middle ; posteriorly both fingers possess a single distal tooth (fig. 18 i). 

 Anteriorly the immovable finger has the median tactile hairs placed the one above the 

 other, and somewhat behind the lower there is a large " spot " ; posteriorly both 

 fingers have three spots, arranged as shown in figure. 



Coa;ce. — The fourth pair are trapezoidal, only in a slight degree widened out towards 

 the end, much longer than broad, and have the interior margin shorter than and fairly 

 well separated from the posterior. 



Legs. — The proximal joints are smooth. The long hairs are dorsally in the fourth 

 pair of legs strongly clavate and slightly curved, and in the first pair only slightly 

 convex ; the ventral hairs are pointed and more or less simple. The tarsal " tactile 

 hair a little more than two-thirds removed from the base and as long as the distance to
