CHELIFERID.Ii. 
Hagen publishes (Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H. xi. pp. 323-325) a notice of the 
occurrence of a species of Chelifer adhering to flies, and also under the elytra 
of beetles. He thinks that the Chelifer attaches itself in this way to the 
bodies of insects in order to be transported from place to place. B. P. Mann 
(/. c. p. 325) mentions an instance of Chelifer being found under the elytra 
of Alaus oculatus. Hagen’s remarks are partially reproduced in Anier. 
Natural, ii. p. 216, where Chelifer cancroides is figured. 
According to Hagen (Proc. Bost. Soc. N. II. xi. p. 435), Chelifer muri- 
catus — cancroides. Hagen has determined 9 American species: — I of 
Chthonius, resembling C. maculatus (Menge) ; 4 of Chelifer ; 2 of Chernes, I 
new ; and I of Pelorus. 
[Cypiiophtiialmida5.] 
G. Joseph has discovered, in the Lueger cave in Carniolia, 
a small Arachnidan, allied in its general structure, to the Pha- 
langiidse, but which he regards as the type of a new family. 
It has an oval body, convex above, nearly flat beneath, covered 
with a very hard skin. The abdomen is of 8 segments. The 
palpi are filiform and six-jointed ; the chelae are three-jointed j 
and the mouth is adapted for sucking, the maxillae being repre- 
sented by small pyramidal bodies, each bearing a peculiar hook- 
like process, terminated by a spongy knob, whilst within the 
mouth there is a narrow, ribbon-like membrane, probably repre- 
senting the tongue. The eiglit legs are six-jointed, two joints 
forming the tarsus, which is terminated by a single claw. The 
eyes are supported upon conical processes, springing from the 
sides of the cephalothorax. Respiration is performed through 
two stigmata, placed in the lateral angles of the first abdominal 
segment. The sexual orifice in the $ is situated between the 
fourth pair of hypopodia, and bounded behind by an obtuse 
process of the first abdominal segment, from which point, also, 
the penis of the 6 is protruded. (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1 808, 
pp. 241-250 and 269-272.)
