562 MR. R. I. POCOCK ON THE ARACHNIDA, [DcC. 4, 



protogastric and branchial regions in front marked with squamiform 

 tubercles, which, running into definite series, are continued on to the 

 inferior lateral surface of the carapace ; these tubercles become 

 finer as they approach the bases of the legs, and disappear entirely 

 towards the facial region ; there is no distinct line, either of 

 tubercles or denticulations, separating the superior from the inflected 

 regions of the carapace, although close to the external margin of the 

 orbit there is a conspicuous tooth, and separated from this by the 

 distance of one millim. another smaller tooth ; these teeth together 

 with the external suborbital lobe constitute the upper margin of an 

 almost smooth area, which is bounded below by a finely serrate 

 transverse ridge, running outwards from the margin of the epistoma. 

 Anterior half of the gastric region marked with a conspicuous 

 median longitudinal groove, which terminates in front between the 

 slightly prominent epigastric lobes ; front vertical, narrow, with 

 raised margin and feebly convex anterior border ; orbits a little wider 

 than long, with superior border externally finely serrate, internally 

 smooth ; external suborbital lobe obsoletely dentate and separated 

 from the internal suborbital lobe by a space which is about half as 

 great as the space separating the internal lobe from the front. 



Ext. maxilUpedes. Inner margins scantily hairy ; exopodite 

 shorter than the second (ischial) segment and concealed behind it ; 

 ischial segment nearly as wide as it is long ; the third (meral) 

 segment depressed in the middle of its surface, thickly clothed with 

 hair externally, and with its anterior margin excised ; the small 

 apical segments densely hairy and not concealed behind the meral 

 segment. 



Chelipedes externally beset with squamiform tubercles and 

 scantily clothed with short black hairs ; equal in size and identical 

 in shape ; merus triangular ; anterior border slightly concave ; 

 posterior border convex, inferior border flat ; antero-inferior angle 

 denticulate, postero-inferior angle and superior angle spinous ; 

 carpus posteriorly (externally) convex, above anteriorly (internally) 

 armed with three sharp teeth ; propodus convex laterally, with 

 superior and inferior borders slightly convex from before backwards; 

 dactylus gently curved, when closed its teeth are almost in contact 

 with those of the dactylar prolongation of the propodus. 



Legs beset with squamiform tubercles and distally somewhat 

 thickly clothed with black hairs disposed in longitudinal series ; 

 superior angle of the meral segments slightly spinous distally ; pro- 

 podal and dactylar segments furnished above and below with two 

 series of coarse spines. Sternum and postabdomen closely punc- 

 tured.
