A separate family, Chalimvroidoe, which ought, it seems, to be 

 located in the neighbourhood of the Theraphosoidce , is formed un- 

 doubtedly by the singular genus Chalinura Dalm. '), remarkable for 

 its small size, its long legs and its four mamillae, of which the ex- 

 terior ones are longer than the abdomen , two-jointed , with the se- 

 cond joint much the longer and thread-like. Only one species, Ch. 

 Umgipes Dalm., is known: a single specimen was found in a piece of 

 copal, from what locality imported is not known, but probably from 

 some one of the tropical lands of the' Old World. 



The sub-order Laterigradce , which I had united in a single fa- 

 mily, Thomisoidce , to which however must probably be added the 

 fossil family ArchwoidcB C. Kocn 2 ), has by Cambridge 3 ) been resolved 



1) r Aranea (Chalinura) longipes. Ch. pallida, abdomine ovato, caudae setis 

 lateralibus abdomine longioribus , filiformibus , pubescentibus ; pedibus elongatis. 



Hob. — Specimen unicum Copalo inclusum, pedibus mutilatis. 

 Parva, longitude- corporis (absque setis) lin. 2; — tota pallida, nisi forte co- 

 lor morte mutatus. 



Cephalothorax rotundatus, inaequalis, superficie tamen lsevi , impressione dor- 

 sali ; muticus , pallens , pube depressa obsitus ; tuberculo antico valde elevato, ocu- 

 los gerente. — Oculorum numerus et dispositio mihi non satis certo constant, ob 

 ipsius Copali asperitatem ; 4 enim discoidales valde distincti , quorum antici ma- 

 ximi approximati ; laterales vero 4 minuti, postice positi; talis vero oculorum dispo- 

 sitio in Araneis omniiio inconsueta, quare in dubium vocari potest. — Palpi pe- 

 diformes, mediocres, articulo apicali incrassato, ovato, acuminato. Abdomen ova- 

 tum , convexum , dorso seriebus duabus e punctis 3 1.4 inipressis. Papilla? anales 

 4; quarum interiores breviores, conicae; exteriores vero productse, toto abdomine 

 multo longiores, biarticulatre ; articulus primus cylindricus , papillis interioribus 

 paullo longior ; secundus longissimus, filiformis, attenuatus, intus manifeste pu- 

 bescens. Pedes valde elongati, sed plures in nostro specimine jam in ipso Co- 

 palo imperfecti ; adsunt tamen femora omnium, primi paris excepta. Femora se- 

 cundi et 4:ti paris toto corpore sunt manifeste longiora; tertii vero illo breviora; 

 pedes omnes graciles, mutici, subnudi, tarsis (4:ti saltern paris) attenuatis, 

 muticis.
