242 A. S. HmsT : Oriental SoUfugcE. [Voi,. II, 



Legs. — Tarsi of second and third legs with four pairs of spines, 

 tarsi of fourth legs with five pairs of spines, bristles of tarsus of 

 fourth leg stout and a little curved. 



Measurements in mm. — Length of body 34; width of head 

 11-5; length of patella of palp 23-5 ; of tibia of palp 15-5 ; of tar- 

 sus of palp 35. 



Locality. — Seistan. Two males (one of them mutilated) col- 

 lected by Col. MacMahon. 



Remarks. — ^This new species agrees with G. citrinus, Pocock, and 

 G. schach, Birula, in the absence of ''cylinder-bristles" from the 

 ventral surface of the palp, but differs from them in having the 

 distal segment of the tarsus of the fourth legs armed with a pair of 

 spines. 



Galeodes festivus, sp. nov. 



cf . Colour. — Pale sandy yellow; head with a pair of dark 

 lateral patches ; abdomen with the anterior and posterior margins 

 of the terga darkened ; mandibles fawn-coloured above and with well 

 marked stripes; patella, tibia and tarsus (with the exception of its 

 distal extremity) of maxillipalp deeply infuscate, the patella almost 

 as dark as the tibia; femur of maxillipalp with the distal third 

 darkened ; fourth pair of legs with the distal segments strongly in- 

 fuscate ; the anterior legs paler. 



Mandibles. — Lower jaw with two minor teeth, the posterior 

 one being minute. Blade of the flagellum narrower as compared 

 with the length than is the case in G. agilis, Pocock. 



Palpi. — Patella about twice as long as the width of the head, 

 and armed below with three rows of spines, some of which exceed 

 the height of the segment; tibia with six pairs of spines, the distal 

 pair alone exceeding the height of the segment; ''cylinder- 

 bristles" fairly slender, subcylindrical and with the basal rings 

 rather high. 



Legs. — Tarsi of second and third legs armed with seven spines, 

 the posterior basal spine being absent. Tarsi of fourth legs with 

 five pairs of spines. Bristles of tarsi of fourth pair of legs broader 

 and less sharply pointed than is the case in G. agilis. Blade of ex- 

 ternal malleolus less than half the width of the head. 



Measurements in mm. — Length of bod}^ 42; width of head 10; 

 length of palp 62 ; of first leg 45 ; of fourth leg 61 ; of patella of 

 palp 21*5; of tibia of palp 15 ; of tarsus of palp 375. 



Loc^/i/y.— Seistan, a single male specimen collected by Gol. 

 MacMahon. 



Remarks. — This species is closely aUied to G. agilis, Pocock, 

 differing from it in the shape of the bristles of the tarsi of the 

 fourth legs. . . ,
