anteriorly, where they are minutely granular. The trochanter and the anterior surface 

 of the femur are beset with a number of moderately long, stiff, and not completely 

 simple hairs ; the posterior surface of the femur and the tibia as well as the protuberance 

 of the latter are densely covered — almost shaggy — with long, slender, and completely 

 simple hairs ; similar but shorter hairs cover the hand. The trochanter, which is 

 almost 1'5 as long as wide, is anteriorly very slightly convex and posteriorly is produced 

 into a fairly prominent and rounded basal tubercle ; dorsally it is prolonged into a very 

 deep, conical, obtusely pointed protuberance ; observed from the front this protuberance 

 is most similar to an acute-angled triangle, with the proximal margin slightly convex 

 and the opposite a trifle concave ; the trochanter is as deep as long and much deeper 

 than the femur is. The femur has a rather short and well-defined stalk, beyond which 

 it is attenuated towards the end. It is 2-2 as long as wide ; the anterior outline 

 beyond the stalk is almost straight, while the posterior is first rather abruptly convex 

 and then slightly so ; the dorsal outline beyond the stalk is abruptly convex and 

 then very slightly so, with a fairly pronounced terminal concavity ; the femur is 

 distinctly deeper than wide. The tihia, which has a long and slender, not 

 very well-defined stalk, is longer and wider than the femur, and is 2"3 as 

 long as wide ; anteriorly it is slightly convex, and posteriorly beyond the well- 

 marked condylus and fairly distinct basal elevation almost 

 straight and then moderately convex ; the ventral margin is 

 almost circular, and the dorsal anterior surface is prolonged into 

 a deep, rounded, somewhat conical protuberance. The chela, 

 which is three times as long as deep, is 1"2 as broad as the 

 trochanter is long; the hand, which is somewhat longer than, 

 but 1'4 as wide as, the tibia, is VI as long as wide but only 1*2 

 as long as deep, 1"4 as deep as broad, and scarcely 1'3 as long 

 as fingers, which are almost 1-4 as long as hand is wide but a 

 trifle shorter than it is deep, and which gape widely when 

 closed ; the lateral outlines are moderately convex, while the 

 dorsal is very suddenly raised, being almost perpendicular on 

 the stalk, and then slightly convex; the ventral margin is less 

 suddenly raised and then almost straight. The marginal teeth 

 are fairly well developed, where the fingers touch each other in 

 their terminal fifth, but more proximally are very \o\y or almost 

 obsolete ; accessory teeth were not observed posteriorly, but 

 anteriorly the immovable finger has five and the movable seven 

 near to the tip. Anteriorly the immovable fiinger has about 15 "-sjiots" and the 

 movable four (cf, fig. 82), while the immovable posteriorly has seven spots.

 preceding species. The fourth pair are somewhat triangular, as the inner and hinder
