This species, as regards the sliape of the palps, resembles 

 very much Cheli f 67" longichelifer Balzan, from South America. 



Cheli fer angulatus constitutes, together with Ch. Simoni 

 (including Ch. madagascarensis Ellingsen) and Ch. tenuimanus 

 Balzan (perhajis, also 1)ut a variety of Ch. Simoni) a well limited 

 group, distinguished, as regards the males, by having the bristh d 

 area on some of the sternites , as mentioned in the description. 

 I liave seen this area in Ch. angulatus, Simoni (and madagascar- 

 ensis), and I suppose, tliat it is also found in CJi. tenuimanus. 



OlxeliFer* g-a-ry poides nov. sp. 



Two large, distinct, much elevated eyes, one on each side. 



Gephalothorax blackish l^rown, somewhat paler behind the first 

 groove ; the s-leriles of abdomen brown ; palps blackish brown , 

 the colour increasing in strength towards the extremity, the lower 

 side of the palps paler; the legs and the interstitial parts greyish 

 wliite. 



Gephalothorax considerably longer than wide, nearly parallel- 

 sided towards the eyes, where it is slightly rounded, before the 

 eyes somewhat contracted and protruding , thus getting some 

 resemblance with the cephalothorax of Garypus. Two transversal 

 grooves, the anterior one strong and al)out in the middle, the 

 posterior one less conspicuous and about midway between the 

 first and the hinder margin. The surface evenly and coarsely 

 granulated, with distinct granules, somewhat glossy, with very 

 short, thick, but scarcely davate hairs. 



Abdomen much flattened and contracted and thus rather broad. 

 The tergites nearly opaque, strongly granulated, divided longitu- 

 dinally except the first, along the hinder margins with long, thick 

 hairs, on the two last somites with some few, very long, pointed 

 hairs intermixed. The sternites somewhat glossy, divided longitu- 

 dinally, strongh' granulated, with long, pointed hairs along the 

 hinder margins.
