articulates witli tlie outer side of coxa about in tlie middle; tro- 

 clianter is very short and irregularly roundish. Femur short and 

 very «roljust, with very short stalk, in front from the stalk rectan- 

 gularly widened and projecting into a short point, the broad 

 anterior side excavated, forming a cavity, in which there is room 

 for the inner part of tibia, when the palps are folded up; the 

 outer contour of femur is nearly semicircular, the whole femur 

 nuu-li narrowed towards the extremity. Tibia with a very short, 

 jjut distinct stalk , much more slender and somewhat shorter 

 than femur, gradually increasing in width towards the extremity 

 and widest there; yet, the distal part is nearly parallelsided. The 

 hand is much reduced, forming only a very short and narrow 

 piece, scarcely as broad as tibia. Fingers rather long, slightly 

 curved in the horizontal plane; the fixed finger is in the proximal 

 half rather broad, ìjut is about midway contracted to the half 

 width (see the figure) ; on the side turning iuA^^ards there is a 

 row of ca. 12 pointed, conical teeth, of which that placed next 

 to the hand is greater than the rest. The moveable finger is 

 distinctly shorter and more slender than the fixed one, provided 

 with a similar row o^ teeth. On the inner margins of both fingers 

 there are also, in the distal half, some acute, conical teeth. 



The mandibles are very small, from above as well as from 

 beneath nearly hidden by respectively cephalothorax and coxa. 

 The trunk is robust, the fingers very small (see the figures). 

 The upper surface is, in the distal half, somewhat granulated, 

 the proximal half nearly smooth; below the whole surface is 

 nearly smooth. Galea short, thick, rounded in the extremity. 



Legs: the coxae of the I. pair are cuniform and wedged in 

 between those of the II. pair; the coxae of II-IV are increasing 

 in size backwards, as are the very legs in strength and length 

 from I-IV. The two first pairs of legs have the two parts of 

 femur about of equal length, the two last pairs and particularly 

 the last one have pars basalis considerably shorter than pars 

 tibialis. Especially the distal part of the legs is provided with short, 

 curved hairs. Claws simple and very tin}^; arolium small. 



Length 1,90 mm; ^^idth 1,17 mm.
