convex, while the ventral is moderately so. The chela, which is 2*7 as long as wide, is 

 about 1-2 as broad as the trochanter is long ; the hand, which is longer and I'S as wide 

 as the tibia, is 1"7 as long as wide, scarcely as wide as deep, and 1-6 as long as the fingers, 

 which are only a trifle longer than the hand is wide ; the lateral outlines are slightly 

 convex, while the dorsal and ventral ones are almost straight. The immovable finger 

 possesses anteriorly seven proximal " spots " in a longitudinal row, while the movable 

 has none (tigs. 37 e-f), and posteriorly the immovable finger has two "spots" and the 

 movable a single one. 



Coxm. — The second and third pair are like those of the preceding species {cf. text- 

 fig. 83), while the fourth are of a more triangular appearance with the inner and hinder 

 margins, of which the former is much the longer, gradually merging into each other. 



Legs. — The fairly long or rather short hairs are generally more or less stifi" and not 

 quite simple ; the femur has dorsally a terminal, long, slender, completely simple hair ; 

 the tarsal " tactile " one is one-tenth removed from the base and at least as long as the 

 tarsus. The legs are moderately long and slender ; the tibia of the first pair is 1'2 as 

 long as the tarsus, which is 4'3 as long as deep ; the femur of the fourth pair is 2'4 

 as long as deep, 1*2 as long as tibia, and 1"2 lower than the tarsus is long. 



Colour. — The palps are reddish brown and the cephalothorax as well as the tergal 

 sclerites are pale yellowish brown ; the rest of body more or less yellowish. 



Measurements. — Cephalothorax 0-805 (0-690) ; abdomen 3-56 (1-49) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-368 (0-253); femur 0-640 (0-285); tibia 0-667 (0-335) ; hand 

 0-713 (0-425), depth 0-437 ; finger 0-450 mm. 



Leg I.: femur 0-456 (0-160), trochantin 0-091 (0-175) ; tibia 0-365 (0-106); tarsus 

 0-299 (0-072) mm. 



Leg IV. : femur 0-631 (0-266) ; tibia 0-540 (0-152) ; tarsus 0-329 (0-091) mm. 



Variation. — Another female mounted with the above mentioned was much paler 

 and had the hairs of the comparatively short abdomen well preserved ; along the 

 hindmost margin twelve hairs in addition to six in front of the row in the median 

 tergites ; the tenth and last tergites as well as the corresponding sternites with two 

 pairs of tactile hairs each. The palps were somewhat less slender, but in the main as 

 described. 



Male. 



Abdomen &c. — The abdomen is exceedingly long and slender, the galea scarcely 

 extends beyond the terminal hair, and the teeth are wanting or obsolete. 



Palps (PL XXXI. fig. ol g). — The trochanter is much more distinctly bigibbo&e 

 than in the female, as the posterior tubercle is much longer and more conical and as 

 the dorsal protuberance is very deep and conical. The femur, which is 2-3 as long as 

 wide, is almost straight anteriorly, and posteriorly less abruptly convex. The tibia, 

 which has an exceedingly long slender stalk, is 1-9 as long as wide ; the anterior
