Tipper side of body finely granular, of clieliceres nearly smooth, length 

 of the five terminal joints of cheliceres very nearly equalling that of the 

 first nine abdominal segments ; second joint of cheliceres on the upper ante- 

 rior edge luith six very small denticles, of which only the two middle ones are 

 pointed, fourth and fifth joints more swollen than the two preceding ones; 

 edge between the central and lateral eyes swollen, rounded, not cay^inated ; 

 length of one of the last feet almost exactly equals the cephalothorax and the 

 abdomen ; first lower abdominal segment very large, ivith the median 

 posterior edge produced, but still truncated, and depressed. 



Hah. — Moiilmein, (in the Martaban province). 



The cephalothorax is comparatively small, its length being only slight- 

 ly more than half that of the abdomen ; it is convex, anteriorly somewhat nar- 

 rowly romided, with the cephalic portion behind the ocular tubercle trans- 

 versely rugose, further on rugosely granular, the granulation being considerably 

 stronger than on the thoracic portion. Ocular tubercle and central eyes 

 small, black. Cephalic groove with slightly raised margins. Edges begin- 

 ning a short distance behind the central eyes and extending to the laterals 

 broadly rounded and swollen. Median and lateral thoracic grooves and 

 impressions narrow, but distinct and shining smooth. Prosternum narrow, 

 subcarinate ; the sternum rather elongately trigonal, anteriorly obtusely 

 rounded, with the sides posteriorly sloping. 



The first nine upper abdominal segments very finely granular, with 

 crenulated posterior margins ; the muscular rounded pits are distinct on the 

 first eight segments, the three last narrow segments are smooth. Sides 

 punctured, and with small scattered elongated tubercles, of which a median, 

 row slightly exceeds the others in size. On the lower side the two first 

 segments are strongly rugose at the sides, the others only punctated, the 

 median portions being smooth, except on the narrow second and third segments 

 on which the punctuation extend almost to the centre. The first segment is 

 largest, with the posterior part centrally produced, but with the edge truncate. 

 The first pair of feet is entirely smooth, the second and third have the femoral 

 joints, and the last all the joints, scrobiculately punctated, the punctuation 

 extending even to the hinder sides of the coxas. 



The cheliceres are sparely hairy, except on the inner sides and near the 

 tip. Each first joint has anteriorly a strong sharply pointed process. 

 The second joint has on the upper margin six denticles, four being on the inner 

 edge, — the two lower obtuse, the two upper pointed and longer, — the fifth and 

 sixth are on the anterior edge, both very small and indistinct, the last is 

 distant from the rest ; the anterior half of the joint is transversely rugose ; 

 the lower anterior edge has two subequal very small denticles. The third
