536 ME. E. I. POCOCK ON THE 



eyes 4"5, Chela: heiglit of femur 3, length 7*5, lengtli of its 

 longest spine 3 ; width of tibia 3'5, length 10"5, length of longest 

 spine 4 ; length of tarsus 5. Legs : femur of 1st 26, of 2nd 18, 

 of 3rd 19, of 4th 16 ; tibia of 2nd 18, of 3rd 20, of 4th 19. 



Locality. Haiti (one example). 



Easily recognizable from T. Pallasii in being smoother, having 

 the carapace more abruptly sloped in front, the median tubercle 

 nearer the edge, the median spine scarcely overlapped, the spines 

 on tbe palpi much longer ; the legs longer — e. g. the femur of 

 the 2ud considerably exceeds the width of the carapace. 



Tarantula longipes, sp. n. (PI. XL. fig. 5.) 



Colour (dry specimen). Carapace and chelae deep chestnut, 

 the former with a flavous patch above its postero-lateral edge; legs 

 also deep castaneous, paler distally, with two obscure pale sjDots 

 upon the femora ; abdomen variegated with brown and yellow. 



Carapace minutely granular, furnished with only a few coarse 

 granules, the transverse and longitudinal groove deep ; the area 

 in front of the lateral eyes vertical laterally, convex mesially, 

 and sloping downwards and forwards at an angle of about 45°, 

 so that the anterior eyes look forwards ; the distance between the 

 median tubercle and the anterior border only slightly smaller 

 than the longitudinal diameter of the tubercle ; this border, when 

 seen from above, narrow, very slightly emarginate, denticulate, 

 the denticles larger at the side, directed horizontally ; the apex of 

 the median triangular frontal plate invisible from above ; distance 

 between the lateral ocular tubercles a little less than half the 

 median length of the carapace and about twice the distance 

 between either tubercle and the anterior border, and a little more 

 than twice the distance between the tubercle and the lateral 

 border. 



Mandihles granular above, with two tubercles at the distal 

 extremity of the basal joint, of which the external is the 

 larger. 



ChelcB long, slender, the distance between the lateral eyes 

 about half the superior length of the femur, and less than the 

 length of the tarsus ; the latter smooth externally, tbe tibia and 

 femur studded, but not very thickly, with coarse granules ; the 

 spines very long, the longest on the tibia greater than the dis- 

 tance between the lateral eyes, and much greater than the 

 thickness of the tibia, the longest spine on the femur much
