5th less noticeably excavated ; the lateral keels weak, the median 

 lateral visible on the 2nd and on the hinder half of the 3rd ; the

 below the lateral keels, posteriorly strongly lobate or bluntly 

 dentate, the edge on each side of the anus produced and lobate, 

 as in europcEus. Vesicle moderately large, angled beneath the

4. 4 a. Parabuthus granimanus, sp. n. Upper and lateral views of tail of 



5 specimen from Zeyla, in which the carapace measures 12-5 mm, 

 (nat. size). To compare with figs. 5 & 5a.

4 c, 4 cZ. „ „ Arm and hand of <S specimen in which the 



carapace measures 9-8 mm. ( x 2). to show the basal lobes and 

 granulation (compare with fig, he). 

 5, 5 a. Parabuthus liosoma (Hempr. & Ehrenb.). Upper and lateral views 

 of tail of 5 specimen from Aden, in which the carapace measures 

 11-5 mm. In fig. 5 the fourth and fifth segments are a shade too 

 thick ; but the figure shows very clearly the form of the tail 

 which is typical of P. liosoma (s. s.), and differs strongly from 

 that of P. granimanus. 



5 b. Parabuthus liosoma. Hand and arm (nat. size) of same specimen to 



compare with fig. 46. 

 5 c, 5 d. Parabuthus liosoma. Arm and hand of c? specimen of which the 

 carapace measures 10 mm. ( x 2), to show smoothness and absence 

 of lobes on fingers.
