INDIAN AND BURMESE SCORPIONS. 249 
tion of a few patches and streaks which are quite smooth ; the first 
six upper abdominal segments thickly granulated with prominent 
central keels, each segment with two clearly impressed yellow spots 
on the hinder margin and a sub-marginal broad stripe on each side ; 
seventh segment with black granulations on the anterior central part, 
and with yellow ones elsewhere, lateral keels very distinct, mesial 
keel indistinct posteriorly. Legs above marbled with brown which 
nearly covers the fulvous yellow ground-colour, except on the ter- 
minal portions of the tibial and metatarsal joints and the whole of 
the tarsal which are falvous without marks; the cephalo-thorax 
beneath is fulvous yellow, the pectoral combs yellow, and the first 
four abdominal segments shining yellow, with the posterior edges 
paler and duller yellow ; fifth abdominal segment dull fulvous yellow, 
finely granulated; under side of legs dull fulvous yellow; first four 
joints of the tail fulvous above, infuscated below; fifth joint en- 
tirely dark brown or blackish ; sixth joint black suffused with red- 
dish; sting reddish yellow at base and deep red at the tip; axillary, 
humeral, cubital and basal portion of the radial joints of the cheli- 
ceres fulvous, with one or two very minute brown marks in some, 
absent in other specimens; terminal portion of radial joint, the 
whole hand and the basal half of the fingers rufous brown; termi- 
nal half of fingers fulvous yellow ; sides of the abdomen blue; the 
hand is hardly as wide as the radial joint; the two upper keels of 
the fifth caudal segment are sharpand strongly toothed, and there are 
five distinct keels on the under side of the sixth joint of the tail. 
The & resembles the 9 in coloration, except that the first four 
abdominal segments below are deep fulvous, broadly edged pos- 
teriorly and laterally with yellow, and the fifth segment is of the same 
fulvous colour as the other ones and obsoletely granulated. In struc- 
ture it differs remarkably, having a shorter body and a longer tail ; 
the cheliceres are much longer, and the hand is broader than the 
radial joint ; the keels on the upper surface of the fifth caudal seg- 
ment are rounded and obsoletely granulated; it has only one keel 
on the lower side of the sixth joint, and the granulations on this 
are absent. 
In the female the length of the body is rather more than that of 
the first four caudal segments, whereas in the male it equals that 
of the first three segments.
