49, CiiELiFER DEPBESSIMANUS, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. figs. 35 a-d.) 



Female. 



Cephalothorax. — Rather indistinct ocular spots. The cephalothorax, which is 

 distinctly longer than wide, has the anterior transverse stride broad, almost straight, 

 and fairly prominent, whilst the posterior is almost obsolete. The integument appears 

 polished and is completely smooth with moderately long hairs. 



Abdomen. — The very long slender abdomen has all the tergites with the exception 

 of the first and the eleventh longitudinally divided, but not very distinctly so. The 

 sclerites are smooth, and along the hindmost edge of each tergite is a row of about 14 

 moderately long hairs, in addition to one or two lateral and a single median hair in 

 front of the row on each side ; the " tactile " hairs were missing in the specimen 

 examined. 



AntenncB. — The moderately long, slender galea, which extends somewliat beyond the 

 terminal hair, has six inferior! y placed teeth distally. 



Palps (PL XXXI. figs. 35 a-h). — The palps are almost smooth except on the 

 anterior surface, v^hich is minutely and rather indistinctly granular. The long or 

 moderately long hairs are stiff and not completely simple ; long, slender, completely 

 simple hairs are only observed posteriorly just behind the tip of the femur and in the 

 middle of the tibia. The trochanter, which is 1-5 as long as wide, is anteriorly slightly 

 convex and posteriorly produced into a rounded and rather low basal tubercle ; dorsally it 

 is prolonged into a not very deep, somewhat conical, and rounded protuberance ; the 

 trochanter is deeper than wide, but scarcely as deep as the femur. 'Y\i.Q femur has a 

 short well-defined stalk, beyond which it is attenuated towards the end. It is twice 

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

 the posterior beyond the stalk is very abruptly convex, almost perpendicular, and then 

 almost straight ; the dorsal outline is almost exactly like the posterior. The tihia^ 

 which has a rather short but well-defined stalk, is a little longer and wider than the 

 femur, and is 1'9 as long as wide; the anterior outline is very strongly convex, almost 

 semicircular in the middle, and then a trifle concave, while the posterior beyond the 

 prominent condylus and slightly marked basal elevation is almost straight and then 

 strongly convex ; the dorsal as well as the ventral outlines are moderately convex. 

 The cliela, which is 2'7 as long as wide, is almost 1'2 as broad as the trochanter is 

 long ; the hand, which is somewhat longer and about 1*3 as wide as the tibia, is I '6 as 

 long as wide but 1"9 as long as deep, IT as wide as deep, and is 1"6 as long as the 

 fingers, which are 1"1 as long as hand is wide, but 1-2 as long as it is deep, and do 

 not gape when closed ; the lateral outlines are moderately convex, while the dorsal and 

 ventral are almost straight. Anteriorly each finger has a single accessory tooth, while
