crush with their powerful pincers. When irritated they eject an Table-case 
offensive acid secretion, which is the product of two large glands No - 21 * 
opening on the end of the last abdominal segment. The female, 
after laying her eggs, carries them about attached to the underside 
of her body. 
Tribe- TARTARIDES. 
The carapace of the cephalothorax is segmented posteriorly; 
it sometimes bears a pair of lateral eye-specks, but these are 
often obsolete or absent. The tail is short and is unsegmented 
in the male sex, whilst in the female it has three or four joints. 
The Pedipalpi belonging to this tribe, which contains the 
single family Schizomidae, are small in size and show traces of 
degeneration. 
They live under 
stones and vege- 
tation in the 
tropical parts of 
Africa, Asia and 
America. Two 
genera ( Schizo - 
mus and Trithy- 
reus ) are known. 
Drawings of a 
Tartarid ( Schizo - 
mus crassicau- 
dus ), to illustrate 
the morphology 
of the group, are 
placed in Table- 
case 21. 
Sub-order II. 
AMBLYPYGI. 
The cephalo- 
thorax of these 
Pedipalpi is wider 
than long. All 
the segments of 
the legs of the 
first pair, with the exception of the basal three, are sub-divided so 
as to form a long flagellum.
