IX. — Descriptions of two new Species of Scorpions brought 
by Emin Pasha from the inland parts of East Africa . By 
R. I. Pocock, of the British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 
[Plate I. figs. 1 and 2.] 
Buthus Eminiiy sp. n. (PI. I. fig. 2.) 
Colour . — Trunk ochraceo-fuscous ; keels of tergites and of 
cephalothorax black ; the ocular tubercle and the antero-lateral 
regions of the cephalothorax infuscate ; a fuscous patch on 
each side of the tergites. Legs and palpi ochraceous beneath, 
the upper surface of humerus and brachium and anterior sur- 
face of the legs feebly infuscate ; tail ochraceous above, the 
inferior keels irregularly blackened ; vesicle clear ochraceous, 
aculeus black in its second half. 
Cephalothorax slightly wider than long, its anterior border 
very lightly concave ; the anterior keels well developed, 
marked by smooth and rounded granules which anteriorly 
become lost amongst the similar though smaller granules 
which adorn the antero-lateral parts of the cephalothorax ; 
ocular tubercle deeply cleft, very finely granular, the sides of 
it, which are continuous with the anterior keels, are granular 
in front and behind, smooth in the middle ; sides of cephalo- 
thorax beset with larger and smaller granules ; running 
obliquely backwards and inwards from the direction of the 
lateral eyes there are about three subparallel series of large 
granules ; the posterior keels well developed, granular, short 
and parallel, their anterior ends not connected with the very 
feebly developed external median keels and separated by a 
slight interval from the internal median keels, which are 
strong and granular ; the areas defined by the anterior and by 
the internal median and posterior keels beset with larger and 
smaller granules. 
Tergites . — Thefirstsix furnished with three strongly granular 
keels, which in the posterior half of the body project somewhat 
beyond the margin of the plate ; finely granular throughout 
and furnished in addition between the keels and especially at 
the sides w 7 ith many coarse granules ; the seventh tergite fur- 
nished like the preceding with fine and coarse granules ; the 
lateral keels well developed, strongly granular, complete 
behind, united in front ; the median prominence elongate, 
granular, and subcarinate. 
Sternites mostly smooth, sparsely punctured and hairy ; 
the first finely granular antero-laterally ; the last more coarsely
