third branch. 
" Fore legs of the male very slender, short, and pectoi-al ; the femur as long as the remainder of 
the limb, curved outwardly about the middle, and clothed beneath with long silky hairs ; 
tibia very slender, scaly, clothed within with short hairs, as is also the tarsus, which is not 
above one fifth of the length of the tibia, very slender, simple, and exarticulate : of the 
female considerably longer than those of the male, slender and pectoral ; femur thickly 
clothed beneath with short silky hairs ; tibia slender, gradually thickened towards the tip, 
finely scaly ; tarsus gradually thickened, short, with several pairs of minute spines near 
the tip beneath, indicating the very short articulations, the three terminal ones being- 
extremely short, last joint without any claws or their appendages. 
" Hind legs moderately long and slender, scaly ; tibia with a few very minute spines, arranged 
wide apart in two rows, tibial spurs very short ; tarsi equal in length to the tibia, with 
several rows of minute spines on the under surface, basal joint about half the length of the 
tarsus, terminal joint furnished with long setae on its upperside at the tip ; claws small, 
much curved ; paronychia bilaciniated, finely setose, the outer lacinia curved, broader, and
