ON SOME PSEUDOSCORPIONS FROM JAPAN. 



glossy and distinctly granulated, except the fingers; the hairs 

 short, slightly dentated, obtuse^ becoming more and more pointed 

 distally, as they do on the fingers. — Trochanter with a rather long 

 stalk, but with the exception of this about as long as it is broad; 

 the inner side very convex, with two rounded protuberances 

 behind on the upper and the lower edge. Femur with a short 

 stalk, slender, the inner side nearly straight, only slightly sinua- 

 ted next to the extremity, gradually widening behind, the greater 

 central part of the outer side nearly straight, at the extremity 

 somewhat rounded; the femur, on the whole, gradually increases 

 in width towards the extremity. Tibia with a short stalk, shorter 

 and broader than femur, the inner side somewhat convex, the 

 greater, proximal part rather straight behind, somewhat convex 

 towards the extremity. Hand with a distinct stalk, with regularly 

 rounded base, both sides regularly and moderately convex — in 

 the male somewhat more so than in the female — gradually 

 passing into the fingers. Fingers distinctly curved, about as long 

 as the hand or a little longer. 



Mandibles. Galea of the female rather robust with some 

 distinct teeth in the distal third part; in the male considerably 

 more slender, indistinctly dentated at the extremity. 



Legs with obtuse, slightly dentated hairs; the femora of the 

 two posterior pairs of legs moderately strong. 



The shape of the coxæ of the posterior pair of legs it very 

 characteristic in the male, being very elongate and much curved. 

 Claws simple.
