Beskrivelse. Hos fuldvoxne Individer gaar Legemets 
Lsengde op til 4 1 //"", med en Spandvidde at' 39”"", og denne 
Art opnaar altsaa en meget betydeligere Storrelse end lore- 
gaaende. 
Legemsformen er (se PI. Ill, Fig. 4) idethele betydelig 
slankere end hos P. circular is. Selve Kroppen er mindre 
bred, nsesten cylindrisk, og liar Rygsidcn ganske glat, nden 
Spor af den hos foregaaende Art paa do 2 midtre Segment ei 
forekommende Pignckke (se Fig. 4 a). Sidefortsatserne er 
forholdsvis lamgerc og skilte ved bredere Mellemrum. Ved 
Enden bar de, som hos foregaaende Art, en Krands af Pigge, 
men som er forholdsvis kortere og heller ikke saa regel- 
nnessigt ordncde. Sovedsegmentet er noget lsengere end de 
3 t'olgende Segmentin' tilsammen og har en tydelig, skjondt 
meget kort Hals. Pandedelen er, som hos foregaaende Art, 
sterkt fortykket og oventil ved Enden bevtebnet. med korte 
pigformige Fortsatser. Forkanten er temmelig dybt udran- 
det mellem lnsertionen for Saxlemmerne. Plalesegmentet er 
forholdsvis noget kortere end hos P. circularis og mere op- 
rettet, forovrigt af en lignende Form. 
Gieknuden, der ligger noget bag Midten af Hovedseg- 
mentet, er sserdeles lav og stumpt tilrundet (se Fig. 4 a), 
de 4 Lindser er temmelig store og alle af ens Storrelse. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 4 a, 4 b, 4 c) forliolder sig i sin 
Bygning ganske som hos foregaaende Art, men er stserkere 
nedadrettet og ligeledes forholdsvis noget st 0 rre. 
Saxlemmerne er hos fuldt udviklede Exemplarer (se 
Fig. 4 a, 4 b) af meget betydelig Storrelse, lige udstrakte 
nsesten af Legemets Lsengde og stserk chitiniserede navnlig 
i dot ydre Parti. Skaftet er forholdsvis tykt, cylindriskt, 
og oventil, saavel ved Enden som lsengere bagtil, bevrobnet 
med Here stserke pigformige Fortsatser. Ilaanden or sser- 
deles kraftigt udviklet, noget lsengere end Skaftet og nsesten 
lige nedadrettet, dannende en skarp Vmkel med Skaftet. 
Af Form er den (Fig. 4 d) aflang tnangulaer, successivt ud- 
videt mod Enden og er besat med korte Pigge og Haar. 
Fingrene er, som hos foregaaende Art meget korte, afstum- 
pede i Spidsen og stserkt indadrettede. Enhver at dem har 
i Midten af den stserkt chitiniserede Inderkant et knudefor- 
migt Fremspring, som paa den ubevsegelige Finger synes at 
vaere dobbelt. Hos ganske unge Exemplarer (se Fig. 4 g) 
observeres en fuldkommen analog Forskjel i disse Lemmers 
Bygning som hos foregaaende Art Fingrene mangier dog 
laris, with 4 strong spines on the posterior part of the in- 
ner edge; terminal claw shorter than propodal joint, ialcifoim 
curvate. Colour yellowish brown. Length of body 4'/ 2 ” ,ra , 
extent 39’"’”. 
Remarks. The present species obviously belongs to the 
same genus as the preceding one, but is readily distinguished 
by its much more slender form of body and, in particular, 
by the greatly elongated ambulatory legs, which likewise de- 
viate as to armature. Also in the structure ol the chelifori 
and false legs, well marked differences occur. 
Description. In full-grown specimens the length of 
the body reaches 4 '/a”"”, with an extent ot 39 , this 
species attains, therefore, a much more considerable size 
than the preceding one. 
The form of the body (see PL III, fig. 4) is, on the 
whole, a good deal slenderer than in P. circularis . The 
trunk itself is less broad, almost cylindrical, and has the 
dorsal surface quite smooth, without a trace of the series ot 
spines (see fig. 4 a) observed on the 2 medial segments in 
the preceding species. The lateral processes are relatively 
longer, and marked off by wider intervals. At the extremity 
may be observed, as in the foregoing species, a wreath of 
spines, but relatively shorter, neither are they so regularly 
arranged. The cephalic segment is somewhat longer than the 
3 following segments taken together, and has a distinct, 
although very short neck. As in the preceding species, the 
frontal part is very considerably tumifieated and armed above, 
at the extremity, with short spiniform projections. The ante- 
rior edge is rather deeply emarginate between the insertions 
of the chelifori. The caudal segment is relatively some- 
what shorter than in P. circularis and is more erect; 
similar in form otherwise. 
The oculiferous tubercle, located somewhat posteriorly 
to the middle of the cephalic segment, is exceedingly low 
and obtusely rounded (see fig. 4 a) ; the 4 lenses are rather 
large and uniform in size. 
The proboscis (see figs. 4 a, 4 b, 4 c) does not, in its 
structure, differ from that of the preceding species, although 
it points more abruptly downwards, and is relatively some- 
what larger. 
The chelifori in fully developed specimens (see figs. 4 a, 
4 b) attain a very considerable size, being, when fully ex- 
tended, almost as long as the body, and are highly chitmized, 
especially in the outer part. The scape is comparatively 
thick, cylindrical, and armed above, both at the extremity 
and farther back, with several strong spiniform projections. 
The hand is most powerfully developed, somewhat longer 
than the scape, and directed well-nigh straight downwards, 
forming an acute angle with the scape. In 1mm (tig. 4 d) 
it is oblongo-triangular, expanding gradually towards the 
end, and beset with short spines and hairs. As in the pre- 
ceding species, the fingers are very short, obtuse at the 
tips, and strongly incur vate. Each of them has, in the 
middle of the highly chitmized inner edge, a nodular 
projection, apparently double on the immobile finger. In 
very young specimens (see fig. 4 g) may be observed a 
difference in the structure of these limbs, perfectly analogous
