EDV. ELLINGSEN 



Oliolifer jiiig'iilatus*; nov. sp. 



Very distinct ocular spots, covered with granulated skin. It 

 can scarcely be doubted, that this species is a blind one, yet, it 

 must, on account of its general appearance and its affinity to, 

 for instance, Ch. Simoni, necessarily be classed in the subgenus 

 Chelifer s. s. 



Ceplialothorax dark brown, somewhat more palish behind the 

 first transversal groove, the somites brown; palps reddish brown, 

 liand with lingers the darkest; the other parts greyish white. 



Cephalothorax longer tlian loroad in the middle; two transversal 

 grooves: the anterior one a])out in the middle and very deep; 

 before reaching the lateral margin it is curving forwards, and thus 

 cephalothorax in this place is being somew^hat depressed and 

 distinctly angularly widened, attaining here its greatest width; 

 before the middle of this groove there is a shallow cavity. The 

 posterior groove is less distinct and somewhat nearer to the hinder 

 margin than to the first groove. The surface is slightly glossy, 

 densely and coarsely granulated, with short, slightly davate hairs. 



Abdomen: the tergites nearly opaque, strongly granulated, all 

 divided longitudinally except the last one; along the hinder margin 

 of each tergite a row of rather long, davate hairs, before this 

 another row, less dense, of similar hairs; all the hairs are placed 

 on large, but low, pale and shining knobs; on the last somites 

 some very long, pointed hairs. The stern ites are different in males 

 and females. gT : glossy , minutely shagreened , the six posterior 

 sternites, except the last one, divided longitudinally, all sternites 

 along the hinder margin with a row of the usual, long, pointed 

 hairs; on the above mentioned six sternites there is along the 

 hinder margin of each a narrow area, covered with short and 

 thick hairs or rather bristles, sitting close together; this area is 

 nearly attaining the lateral margins of the sternites. 9 • "tbe 

 sternites are similar to those of the male, but are lacking com- 

 pletely the bristled areas, mentioned above. 



The palps are very different in the two sexes. Being in the 

 female about as long as the body, they are in the male conside- 

 ral^ly longer. Coxa in both sexes smooth and glossy. The upper 

 surface of femur and tibia is somewhat opaque, the rest of the 

 palps being more or less glossy, particularly the hand and the
