is 1)11 ilio iniuM' side, soinetimos even on tlie upper surface, pro- 

 vided w'itli scattered «^-ranules, especially in tlie male, less in the 

 l'eiiKile. The trans versai j2;roove (if it may l)e called so) of cepha- 

 lothorax is ver\- much approached to the hinder margin and is 

 very little conspicuous, sometimes rather disappearing. The shape 

 of the hand may differ; Simon says: « manu longe et regulariter 

 ovata »...,« ad apicem longius attenuata » — the liand may 

 be only slightly convex on the inner and the outer side, and it 

 may be only little narro\\ ing towards the fingers. — Arolium is 

 (as, I suppose, usual in Olpium) considerably longer than the 

 claws.

Note . There is no reason , I think , to support E. Simon's 

 genus Minniza; the inconspicuous transversal depression of cepha- 

 lothorax and the slender body , often , indeed , very narro^^' , is , 

 I suppose, too little to constitute generic difference.

On one specimen of this species A^ere seen 4 distinct eyes, 

 on the other specimens the posterior eyes were very indistinct or 

 hardly to be seen, a fact sometimes met with in Chthonius Avith 

 4 eyes. To TuUgren's description I shall add, that the fingers of 

 the palps on the inner margin of the fixed finger as A^■ell as 

 that of the moveable one, are provided ^\■ìih a row of small, rather 

 truncated teeth, sitting close together, the margins thus appearing 

 rather crenulated. — Cephalothorax has a little tooth in the middle 

 of the depressed front margin.
