272 ME. C. J. WITH ON SOUTH-AMERICAN CHELIEEEIN^ 



Leg I.: femur 0-532 (0-160), trochantin 0-122 (0-178); tibia 0-403 (0-114); tarsus 

 0-410 (0-084) mm. 



Leg IV. : femur 0-714 (0-228); tibia 0-631 (0-137) ; tarsus 0-471 (0-108) mm. 



Variation. — A female from La Guayra differed from the described specimen by its 

 smaller size, its less slender palps and legs, and by the colour of the abdomen, which 

 had the longitudinal band of equal breadth throughout and the lateral spot better 

 pronounced. 



Material &c. — Of this species I have examined two males, six females (of which 

 one carried a bundle of eggs), and two young animals from New Granada (Keyserling 

 Coll.). In addition to the above-mentioned badly-preserved specimens, I have had 

 at my disposal a female collected by Dr. Meinert in the month of July on a road, 

 La Guayra. Balzan's specimens are from Venezuela. 



Eemarlcs. — The described specimens differ in a slight degree from Balzan's description 

 by the colour and the proportion of the joints of the palps. It is easily distinguished 

 from CJi. hicolor Balz. by the shape of the femur of the palps with its strongly clavate 

 hairs, and by its colour.

Ce])halotJiorax. — Fairly distinct ocular spots or perhaps real eyes, as they show 

 traces of a curved lens. The cephalothorax, which is distinctly longer than wide, has 

 two prominent, deep, almost straight, transverse grooves. The integument of the head, 

 the first thoracic tergite, and the black spot in the middle of the second are distinctly 

 and coarsely granular, and provided with rather short and moderately clavate hairs, 

 somewhat inclined. 



Abdomen (PL XXX. fig. 17 a). — The fairly long and slender abdomen has all 

 the tergites, with the exception of the hindmost part of the eleventh, divided by a 

 broad longitudinal band. All the tergites are distinctly granular, and the median bear 

 from 12-16 fairly long and moderately clavate hairs (tig. 17 a) along the hindmost 

 margin, in addition to two lateral and two median hairs most distinctly in front of 

 the row. The eleventh tergite bears a pair of short " tactile " hairs. 



Antennce. — The galea extends beyond the terminal hair, and bears about eight short 

 distal branches. 



Palps (PI. XXX. fig. 17 h ; text-figs. 68 & 69). — The maxillae are slightly granular 

 in the middle and behind, but very distinctly so laterally and in front ; the palps are 

 distinctly and coarsely granular all over, with the exception of the almost smooth 

 fino-ers. The palps bear many rather short or moderately long hairs, which are
