Pal])s {cf. PL XXX. figs. 14 b-c). — The maxillcB are smooth and glossy ; the palps 

 are minutely and not very distinctly granular above, below very indistinctly ; the short 

 hairs are obtuse or dentated. The trochanter, which is 1-5 as long as wide, is anteriorly 

 moderately convex and posteriorly very slightly produced ; dorsally it is very slightly 

 raised (in contradistinction to Balzan's description, but similar to his fig. 13). The 

 /emwr has an extremely short stalk, beyond which it is distinctly widened out to a point 

 somewhat behind the tip. It is twice as long as wide ; the anterior outline is at first 

 very slightly convex and then distally concave, while the posterior and especially the 

 dorsal outlines (on account of the very short and clumsy shape it is very difficult sharply 

 to distinguish between these two margins) are at first rather abruptly convex, then 

 very slightly concave, passing again finally into a slight convexity. The tibia, which 

 has a short well-marked stalk, is somewhat longer and broader than the femur, and 

 scarcely twice as long as broad ; it is much deeper than wide ; the anterior outline, 

 beyond the stalk, is abruptly convex, almost protuberant, and then almost straight ; the 

 posterior outline, beyond the fairly prominent condylus and slightly marked basal 

 elevation, is at first for a short distance almost straight and then slightly convex ; the 

 dorsal outline is slightly produced and the ventral is moderately convex. The chela, 

 which is 2'7 as long as wide, is scarcely 1"1 as broad as trochanter is long ; the hand, 

 which is about as long as but 1'3 wider than the tibia, is 1*5 as long as wide, but only 

 1"1 as long as deep, almost 1*4 deeper than wide, and 1*2 as long as fingers, which are 

 I'l shorter than hand deep and do not gape when closed; the lateral outlines of the 

 hand as well as the ventral are gradually and moderately convex, while the dorsal out- 

 line just beyond the stalk is very high and very steep, even slightly inclining backwards 

 and then slightly convex. The fingers bear anteriorly a few accessory teeth distally, 

 and posteriorly a number from the middle to the tip ; the number and arrangement 

 of " spots " could not be investigated on account of the black colour of the chela. 



Coxce. — The second and the third pair are slightly enlarged, the former being very 

 slightly narrowed basally. The fourth pair are quadrangular in shape, slightly 

 widened out, and with the inner margin somewhat shorter than the slightly concave 

 hinder, not well limited from it. 



Legs {cf. PI. XXX. figs. 14 e-f). — The proximal joints are very indistinctly 

 granular only. The fairly long hairs are dorsally dentated and obtuse (sometimes 

 slightly clavate), but ventrally pointed and more or less clumsy ; a short tarsal 

 " tactile " C?) hair, scarcely three-fourths removed from base and a little longer than its 

 distance to the tip. The legs are very short and clumsy ; the tibial part of the femur of 

 the first pair of legs is a little deeper than the trochantin, and the tibia is distinctly 

 (1-1) longer than the tarsus, which is scarcely 3 as long as deep. The femur of the 

 fourth pair of legs is 2-2 as long as deep, 1'3 as long as the tibia, and 1'2 lower than 

 the tarsus is long.
