76 AUSTRALIAN OPILIONES 
of the carapace produced medially and at each outer margin of 
the chelicera to form three spines. The anterior margin of the 
carapace at each side of the eyemound is armed with a row of four 
erect spines. A well-defined ridge extends from each anterior 
corner of the cephalothoracie carapace along the lateral margins 
to area V. Areas Land II each with a median pair of small erect 
spines, area ПІ with a median pair of larger spines, area IV 
with a median pair of small widely-spaced tubercles. Areas I-IV 
otherwise smooth, Area V and free tergites I-III with each a 
single transverse row of small tubercles. Sternites smooth except 
for a single transverse row of minute setose tubercles. Genital 
operculum smooth, wider at base than length in ratio of 3:2. 
Sternum as in Fig. 17. Maxillary lobes of coxae ІІ produced 
anteriorly by a strong tubercle. 
Chelicerae. Small. Basal segment constricted proximally, distal 
portion rounded; with a strong spine on the inner and a small 
spine on the median disto-dorsal surfaces. Dorsal surface of the 
second segment with a large proximal tubercle and numerous 
scattered small tubercles. 
Pedipalps. As in Figs. 19, 20. Robust. Coxa below with a 
strong spine on the distal surface. Trochanter below with a strong 
median spine and two smaller spines on the inner surface, and a 
stout spine on the mid-dorsal surface. Femur armed below with a 
stout medio-proximal bifid spine, four spines along the lateral 
margin, the first and third being short, and a row of small granules 
along the inner margin extending to a strong spine rising from 
the latero-distal margin; dorsal surface with a line of four rather 
small spines. Patella with two large and one small spine on the 
inner surface, but otherwise smooth. Femur strongly concave 
below and armed along the outer margin with three spines, two 
strong and one small; these are preceded by two tubercles on the 
proximal surface; inner lateral margin with three strong spines. 
Tarsus concave below, armed along the outer margin with three 
spines of which the most proximal one is very broad at the base, 
inner margin with three uniform strong spines. Tarsal claw 
strong. 
Legs. Coxae below as in Fig. 17. Coxa I with a strong bifid 
spine on the distal region of the proventral surface, followed by a 
large single spine at mid-way and smaller spine at three-quarters, 
remainder of the ventral surface with scattered tubercles. Coxa IL 
with a strong spine on the retroventral surface and three lines of 
small tubercles on the ventral surface, and a transverse ridge on 
the dorsal surface which extends over the lateral margin of the
