EDV. ELLIXGSEX 



Africa. This variety from Fernando Po differs only in unessential 

 particulars from the typical species and presents its general ap- 

 pearance, particularly what concerns the shape of the palps. The 

 most important differences are the following: cephalothorax, espe- 

 cially in gT , less in Q , is very glossy and on the central part 

 before tlie first transverse groove only dispersedly granulated or 

 quite smooth. The coxa of the palps is smooth and glossy (but 

 tliis may also be met with in European specimens). The rest of 

 the palps, too, is rather glossy and in all more minutely granu- 

 lated tlian in the typical form, or even in part smooth. The galea 

 is more divided, but very changing in its construction in the dif- 

 ferent specimens or even in the same animal, sometimes with 

 teeth (or branches) along great part of the under side, of which 

 the most posterior ones are rather long, the rest gradually de- 

 creasing in length towards tlie extremity; sometimes the point is 

 divided in several, rather long, divergent branches; sometimes 

 the construction of the galea is reminding of the galea of Ch. 

 scor-pioides.

Olielifer rnlbidiis no v. sp. 



Xo eyes, l)ut indistinct ocular spots may be found. 



Cephalothorax blackish red, behind the posterior transversal 

 groove yellow^ish grey with a dark spot in the middle, the sclerites 

 and the palps (except the fingers) blackish red, the fingers light 

 reddish, legs and the interstitial parts greyish white. 



Cephalothorax about as long as broad behind; the posterior 

 half nearly parallelsided , from the anterior transversal groove 

 rapidly narrowing and rounded, the short front margin straight; 

 tlie surface nearly opaque, strongly and densely granulated; tw^o 

 strong transversal grooves, the anterior one in the middle, the 

 posterior one somewhat nearer to the hind margin than to the 

 first groove. The hairs short, thick, somewhat dentated in the point. 



Abdomen: the tergites slightly glossy, strongh^ shagreened
