244 ^- ^- Hirst : Oriental Solifugce. [Voi.. II, 



tubercle black ; abdominal terga infuscate ; the ventral surface of 

 the abdomen a dirty greyish colour ; mandibles marked with faint 

 stripes ; palp pale yellow in colour. 



Mandibles. — Lower jaw with two minor teeth which are close 

 together and followed by a slight gap. Blade of flagellum some- 

 what longer and narrower than is the case in G. indicus. 



Palpi. — Patella slightly more than twice the width of the head 

 (in G. indicus, the patella of the palp is considerably more than 

 twice the width of the head). Spines of the tibia six in number, 

 the first and third alone exceeding in length the height of the seg- 

 ment ; '' cylinder-bristles" long and slender as in G. indicus. 



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

 the posterior basal spine having disappeared. Tarsi of fourth legs 

 with four pairs of spines, the distal segment without spines; 

 bristles of pad of tarsus narrower than in G. indicus. Blade of 

 external malleolus about half the width of the head. 



M eastirements in mm. — Length of body 24'5 ; width of head 

 6-5 ; length of palp 39 ; of first leg 29 ; of fourth leg 41*5 ; of patella 

 of palp 14; of tibia of palp I0'25 ; of tarsus of palp 3. 



Locality. — Chitral, a single male specimen collected by Mr. 

 F. J. Daley. 



Remarks. — The male of this species differs from that of G. 

 indicus, Pocock, in its much paler colour and shorter palpi. 



Galeodes chitralensis fallescens, sub-sp. nov. 



This sub-species structurally resembles the typical form, except 

 in the armature of the lower jaw, which is armed with three minor 

 teeth (it is probable that the lower jaw of the typical form is also 

 normally armed with three teeth) ; the terga of the abdomen, how- 

 ever, are pale yellow in colour. 



Measurements in mm. — Length of body3i'5; width of head 

 7*5 ; length of palp 46-5 ; of first leg 32*5 ; of fourth leg 49 ; of 

 patella of palp 16*25 J of tibia of palp 12 ; of tarsus of palp 3. 



Locality. — Sambalpur, Central Provinces, India ; a single male 

 specimen collected by Mr. V. Ball. 



Galeodes fischeri, sp. nov. 



Co/owr.— Closely resembling that of G. indicus obscurior, Pocock. 



5 . Mandible with the lower jaw armed with three minor 

 teeth. Flagellum similar to that of G. indicus. 



Palpi. — Shorter than in G. indicus, the patella about twice 

 the width of the head ; '' cylinder-bristles" of tibia sparse, slender 

 and very short, usually measuring considerably less than a quarter 

 of the length of the spines, whilst in G. indicus they are often more 

 than half the length of the spines. 



Legs. — Proximal segment of tarsus of second and third legs 

 provided with three spines anteriorly, the posterior side with a 

 single spine, distal segment with a single spine, situated on the
