two-thirds, of which the third (counting from behind forwards) is much the largest ; its 

 last article sub-cylindrical, with a curved, acute, movable claw, and a pair of basal, curved, 

 very large spines, each with a small spine at its base. Legs roughened with somewhat 

 acute granules. (PI. 24, fig. 1.) 



Length of body, 1.15"; of palpi, 2.5"; of first pair of feet, 1 ; of second pair, 3.25"; 

 of third pair, 3.75; of fourth pair, 3.50. 



Remarks. — This species was, with others in a bottle, labelled : " Peru, except one from 

 Quito," and, as there were two specimens of it, probably came from the former country.

AFRICAN SPECIES. 



Phrynus annulatipes, n. sp. 



Dorsum, brown, mottled. Ccphalothorax broadly reniform, somewhat truncate in front, 

 with a central depression and more or less obsolete radiating lines, roughly granulated. 

 Eye-eminence roundish, black. Abdomen roughly tuberculate, with a longitudinal, cen- 

 tral crest, which is not pronounced. Legs light brown, annulate with dark brown ; their 

 trochanters and femora, roughened by numerous, bluntish, spinous tubercles, many of which 

 terminate in a rigid hair. Palpi robust ; the coxae roughened with numerous tubercles, 

 tbeir opposing edges with numerous long, slender, hair-like spines, the mandibular pro- 

 cess pronounced ; trochanters with numerous acute, robust, small, thorn-like spines ob- 

 scurely arranged in three patches, also armed with three or four similar larger spines ; 

 femoral article sub-cylindrical, with a flattened anterior face, everywhere roughened by 

 small, often hair-bearing spines, armed — on the anterior-superior margin with four largish 

 and numerous very small spines, two of the former are close together at the proximal 

 end — on the anterior -inferior margin with five largish spines and numerous very small 

 ones, two of the former on the proximal end ; tibial article of similar form and roughness 

 with the last ; the superior anterior margin with numerous very small, and one or two 

 rather small spines, and a pair of very large tuberculate spines confluent at their bases, 

 on its distal end ; the anterior- inferior margin, with numerous very small spines and four 

 small spines, the most distal and largest of which is on the end of the article ; last article 

 somewhat cylindrical-conical, roughened as the last, with a pair of large spines directed 

 forward, and a smaller, robust spine at the base of the upper of these directed backwards. 

 Mandibles tuberculate on their upper surface. Ventral surface smoothish. Ligular process
