MR. H, WALLIS KEW ON THE 



It belongs to the subgenus Chernes ; and the male (text-fig. 48), 

 in sharp contrast with that of Chelifer latreillii, is but little 

 specialized. The genital area of this sex is only moderately con- 

 spicuous, the second genital plate being short ; the fourth pair of 

 coxa^ difier only a little from those of the female, and there is no
