BemarJcs. — The described species is in most respects very similar to the preceding, 

 but it seems, nevertheless, as far as can be judged with only a single specimen at one's 

 disposal, to be well characterised by the shorter and more distinctly clavate hairs 

 especially of the femur, by the shorter finger, by the longitudinal row of spots 

 anteriorly on the movable finger, and by the second thoracic tergite, which has two 

 white spots. From Ch. bicolor Balz. and Ch. alhomaculatus Balz. it differs in colour 

 and in the shape of the femur and hairs.

Female. 



Cephcdothorax. — Ocular spots almost obsolete. The cephalothorax, which is of 

 almost equal length and width, is provided with two transverse grooves, of which the 

 anterior is fairly prominent and slightly curved backwards in the middle, while the 

 posterior is indistinct. The integument is distinctly and coarsely granular, except on 

 the two large white spots of the second tergite, and is provided with short obtuse hairs. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen is fairly long and slender, and has all its tergites except 

 the eleventh longitudinally divided by a broad band. The sclerites are granular, and 

 the tergites bear 8-10 hairs along the hindmost margin as well as a lateral hair on 

 each side, but there is no median hair in front of the row ; the hairs are slender, 

 fairly long or long, obtuse or even slightly clavate. The eleventh tergite has a pair of 

 rather shorr, tactile hairs. The abdomen has behind the first pair of sclerites and in 

 front of the vulva an area with about 30 short hairs placed close together. 



Aiitennce. — The short galea, which has only about six distal teeth, scarcely extends 

 beyond the terminal hair. 



Palps (PL XXX. figs. 19 a-c). — The maxillce are smooth in the middle and 

 granular laterally ; the palps are fairly distinctly granular, but the lower side, the 

 hand, and of course the fingers are less distinctly so, and are, indeed, more or less 

 smooth. The fairly long hairs are obtuse in the trochanter and femur, but pointed 

 and dentated on the hand. The trochanter, which is I'o as long as wide, is moderately 

 convex anteriorly, but posteriorly is scarcely produced below, and dorsally has a very 

 low rounded protuberance. The femur has a short and well-defined stalk, beyond 

 which it is somewhat widened out and then in a slight degree attenuated. It is 2'2 

 as long as wide ; the anterior outline is slightly convex and then concave, while the 

 posterior, beyond the not very sudden basal convexity, is almost straight and then a 

 trifle convex. The tiUa, which has a short well-marked stalk, is almost as long as and 

 somewhat broader than the femur, and twice as long as wide ; anteriorly, beyond the 

 stalk, it is strongly convex and then slightly concave, while the posterior outline 

 beyond the prominent condylus and insignificant basal elevation is at first almost
