 of 3rd 18, of 4th 26 (all measured from base of femur); patella 

 and tibia of 1st 7*5, of 4th 8'2 ; protarsus of 4th 8. 



d . Total length 15 ; length of carapace 7*6, of 1st leg 24, of 

 2nd leg 22, of 3rd leg 21, of 4th leg 29 ; patella and tibia of 1st 

 leg 8-5, of 4th 8'8 ; protarsus of 4th 9-2. 



Loc. Seir. 



In size and colouring this species approaches L. ferox of Lucas, 

 but may be at once recognized by its higher head, slightly pro- 

 curved anterior line of eyes, of which the medians and laterals are 

 subequal. A considerable number of Transcaspian species of this 

 genus have been established, and the specdes that has been here 

 described as new may perhaps belong to one of them ; but until 

 reliable figures of the generative organs of both males and females 

 have been published, or until the specific characters have been 

 set forth in tabular form, the satisfactory identification of the 

 species will remain an almost hopeless task.

$ . Colour. Upper surface of head strongly iiifuscate, with 

 median lanceolate pale stripe extending back from the black ocular 

 tubercle; mandibles yellow, with a pair of faint fuscous stripes 

 above ; femur of palp yellow, lightly iufuscate above at the tip ; 

 upperside of tibia iufuscate, except for the two extremities which 

 are pale ; protarsus iufuscate almost to its extremity ; tarsus 

 lightly infuscate above ; distal half of femur and proximal two- 

 thirds of protarsus of 4th leg, and in a lesser degree of the 2nd 

 and 3rd legs, infuscate. 



Width of cephalic plate almost equal to length of tibia of 

 palp and exceeding the protarsus and half the tarsus of that 

 appendage, equal to the protarsus of the 4th leg and exceeding 

 the protarsus and half the tarsus of that appendage. 



Mandibles with inferior fang armed with 5 teeth ; 3 small teeth 

 between the two terminal large teeth. 



Legs and palpi short ; palpus about three and a half times as long 

 as the width of the head ; 4th leg about four and a half times the 

 length ; spine-armature of legs as in normal Q. arahs (see Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xvi. p. 77).
