NEW SPECIES OF GONTLEPTES. 153 



lateral spines of the cephalothorax and the much less robust and 

 scarcely dentated hind legs. 

 Falkland islands (T. Havers). Four specimens. B.M. 



This interesting little novelty is intermediate between the pre- 

 ceding species and G. muticus of Koch. 



We have a second new species from the same locality, but, 

 unfortunately, only of the female sex, so that it is hardly satis- 

 factory to describe it. 



3, GoNYLEPTEs FUNESTis, n. sp. (figs. 5, 5 o, profile). 



Colours : piceous ; streaked below with reddish testaceous ; the tips of 

 the tubercles and spines of cephalothorax orange ; the legs at the ter- 

 minations of the joints, the basal joints of palpi, a longitudinal streak 

 on the femoral joint, the tips of the spines and the greater part of the 

 chelae of cheliceres testaceous ; the spines and tubercles on the hind 

 legs entirely orange; the tarsi clothed with silky pale testaceous pi- 

 losity ; cheliceres and palpi olivaceous (excepting the basal joints). 



Male. Above, oculiferous tubercle moderately prominent, with two 

 slightly divergent short central spines ; two series of minute granules 

 in front of transverse suture, the anterior series composed of four, the 

 posterior of three : central area of cephalothorax separated into five 

 divisions by the sutures, and trisegmentate behind ; the two fi-ont di- 

 visions bear an orange tubercle and three minute blackish granules, 

 the third a series of four minute granules, the fourth two central . 

 orange tubercles and two minute granules, the fifth four minute gra- 

 nules ; the margin is rugose, and its outer edge granulose ; the three 

 segmentations are granulose, the two central granulations on the se- 

 cond and third segmentations being lengthened into acute spines ; 

 hind margin bearing on each side a long, robust, curved, depressed 

 spine directed backwards ; legs granulose and denticulated, the den- 

 ticles very minute in the first two pairs and confined to the antero- 

 inferior margin of the femora, longer in the third pair, and extend- 

 ing along the tibiae ; coxae of hind legs obtusely trispinose externally, 

 the two lateral spinous processes projecting outwardly, the supero- 

 terminal one almost perpendicularly, also a minute acute terminal 

 spine on the iufero-internal margin ; femora and tibias prominently 

 tuberculate, the lateral tubercles on both sides elongated into obtuse 

 spinous processes, most developed at the proximal extremity of the 

 femora ; palpi subcylindrical, with long slender spines ; cheliceres 

 cylindrical, pilose, pincers serrated internally ; ventral surface of ce- 

 phalothorax smooth. 



Length of cephalothorax 4^ lines, of entire body (incUiding closed che- 

 liceres) 6 lines; relative length of legs 1, 3, 2, 4. 



Chili (Reed). One specimen. B.M.
