the inner anterior corner the largest ; below with two subequal denticles. 

 Third joint with a distinct denticle on the upper and a slightly larger one 

 on the lower side, the latter is accompanied by a minute sharp granule. These 

 two joints are above and below rather densely punctated. The fourth joint 

 is more swollen and larger than the third, with a depressed, anteriorly and 

 posteriorly sharply serrated process, and a little spine on thfe median ante- 

 rior lower edge. Fifth joint somewhat thinner than the previous, with a 

 quite similar process than on the preceding joint, but slightly shorter, and 

 also with a denticle on the lower 'side. Sixth joint, or movable claw, long, 

 with the upper and lower inner edges serrated. 



Tarsi of first pair of feet slighly shorter than the preceding metatar- 

 sus. All other feet with compressed, and on the upper side finely granular, 

 femoral joints. Caudal seta slender, with rather elongated, hairy joints ; its 

 length equals that of the whole body. 



Body including the seta, above, dark brown, on the cheliceres and on the 

 cephalic portion of the thorax shining blackish brown ; feet chesnut ; lower 

 side, deepest brown on the cheliceres and on the posterior end of the abdomen, 

 dark brown on the first joint of cheliceres and on the anterior part of the 

 abdomen, and lighter brown on the coxse of the feet and on the sternum.

The number and distribution of the denticles on the second joint of the 

 cheliceres, the broad abdomen, the form of the first lower abdominal seg- 

 ment, and the slightly longer limbs distinguish the present species from the 

 previous.
