FROM THE INDIAN REGION. 501 
GAGRELLA IMPERATOR, Ni. Sp. 
2. Cephalothorax somewhat semilunar. Scutum bears two 
spines, placed on the first and on the second segment; the foremost 
shorter and directed forwards and upwards ; the hindmost more 
perpendicular. The body is higher towards the spine, and 
behind it slopes gradually. It is very dilated in the gravid 
females, and the articulations are well developed. The body and, 
especially, the top of the scutum are finely granular above. 
Cephalothorax less densely granular; the coxe and the spine with 
fewer and larger granules. Ventral segments and articulations 
smooth. Cephalothorax presents the usual depressions. Frontal 
eminence well marked; lamina frontalis distinct and the procursus 
rather long, separated at their outer ends, and spinous. 
Tubercle low and, seen from the side, as high as long. The 
front area is higher than the back and not perpendicular. 
Seen from the front, it is broader than high and narrowed at its 
base. Five small teeth on each side of the groove. Diameter 
of the eyes larger than the distance between their lower edge 
and the base of the tubercle, but less than their distance apart. 
Basal joint of the antenne almest smooth above. Procursus 
max. internus two-branched and yellow, the lower edge with a 
few granules. 
Femora of the palps shorter than the tarsi and longer than the 
patelle + tibiz. Femora toothed below. Tibie twice and a 
half as long as broad. Both tibie and patelle are granular, 
chiefly on their inner areas. . 
Femora of the legs, as usual, granular. Tibie 2 have false 
articulations. | 
F. I=8 (35), (=17 (ce. 80), INT =84 (85), IV =12 (45). Se- 
cond joint of the antenna 17 mm. long. Body 83 mm. 
Colour a little different in the three specimens—one com- 
pletely yellow, and soft as if in the condition for ecdysis; the 
two others light brown, but more or Jess spotted with yellow. 
Spines somewhat darker. Coxe brown. 
Three specimens ( 2 ) from the Andamans. 
Var. DENTATA. 
Granules larger. Tubercle surmounted by large teeth and 
provided with a row of granules under the eyes. Basal joint of 
the antenne granular. 
One female from the Andamans.
