beskrevne Art or er denne let kjendelig ved Pandedelcns be- 
tydelige Storrclse, de overordentlig kraftigt byggede Saxlem-

fodder. 
Beskrivelse. Legemets Lsengde, fra Spidsen af Sna- 
belen til Enden af HaJevedhsenget, gaar op til 1 l 1 / 2 fflm , og 
Spandvidden til 70’"“. Naervserende Form opnaar saalcdes 
en meget anselig Storrclse. 
Legemsformen er (se PI. IV, Fig, 1) idethele temmelig 
robust, saavel hvad Kroppen selv atigaar som i Henseende 
til Lemmerne. Kropssegmenterne er skarpt begrsendsede 
fra hinanden, og de fra dem udgaaende Sidefortsatser skilte 
ved tydelige, skjondt snrnle Mellemrum. Rygsiden af Seg- 
menterne er fuldkommon glat, og heller ikke paa Sidefort- 
satserne bemmrkes noget Spor af de kos foregaaende Slsegt 
her forekonnnende pigformige Fremspring. Hovedsegmentet 
(se Fig. 1 a, 1 b, 1 c) bar hos nservsereude Art opnaaet en 
ganske overordentlig Udvikling. Det indtager omtrent Le- 
gemets halve Lsengde, naar Snabelen fraregnes, og er navn- 
lig udmserket ved den colossale Storrclse af Pandedelen. 
Denne sidste, der er meget skarpt afmarkcrct fra den ba- 
genfor liggende Del, er over dobbelt saa bred som den ov- 
rige Krop og har langs Midten en rendeformig Eordybniug, 
medens Sidedelene er stserkt opsvulmede og ved Inscrtionen 
for Saxlemmerne besatte med korte Haar. Det mollem 
Pandedelen og den fodbserende Del af Segmontet liggende 
Parti danner en vel begrsendset cylindrisk Hals, omtrent af 
Pandedelens Lsengde. Halesegmentet (Fig. 1 k), der ikke 
ved nogen tydelig Sutur er skilt fra sidste Kropssegment, 
er forholdsvis meget lidet, horizontal^ og af simpel cylin- 
drisk Form, eller lidt afsmalnende mod Enden, der er stumpt 
tilrundet. 
part. Oculiferous tubercle very low, rounded, with visual 
elements distinctly separated. Proboscis shorter than cephalic 
segment. Chelifori remarkably powerful, with globular, 
inflated, and densely ciliated hand; fingers shorter than 
palm, highly chitinized, with curvate, horny-brown tips; the 
lamelliform projection on the immobile finger dentated 
on the edge ; the mobile finger with a nodular process 
in the middle of the inner edge. False legs in the male 
one and a half times as long as the body; the 5tli joint as 
long as the 2 preceding ones taken together; the 5 joints 
ol terminal part diminishing successively in size, lateral 
spines narrow-lanceolate and finely serrated on the edges; 
terminal claw comparatively short. Ambulatory legs robust, 
hardly 3 times the length of body and densely hairy; 2nd 
coxal joint about as long as the 2 others taken together; 
femoral joint scarcely double the length of coxal part, 1st 
tibial joint shorter than femoral joint; tarsal joint very short, 
broader than long, with numerous spines on the inner edge; 
propodal joint powerfully developed and somewhat curved, 
basal part of inner margin somewhat expanded and armed 
with about 7 closely crowded elongated spines ; terminal claw 
considerably shorter than propodal joint, falciform curvate. 
Colour a uniform yellowish white. Length of body 11 
extent 70 m ”. 
Remarks. From the 2 other species, described in de- 
tail below, this form is easy to distinguish, by the consider- 
able size of the frontal part, the remarkably powerful struc- 
ture ot the chelifori and the less elongated, densely hairy 
ambulatory legs. 
Bescription. The length of the body, measured from 
the tip of the proboscis to the end of the caudal appendage, 
reaches ll 1 // 1 "', and the extent 70“”. The present species 
attains therefore a very considerable size. 
The form of the body (see PI. IV, fig. 1) is, on the 
whole, rather robust, both as regards the trunk itself as well 
as the limbs. The segments of the trunk are sharply defined 
from one another, and the lateral processes issuing from 
them are separated by distinct though narrow intervals. The 
dorsal surface of the segments is perfectly smooth, and neither 
can any trace be detected on the lateral processes of the spini- 
form projections found in the preceding genus. The cephalic 
segment (see fig. 1 a, 1 b, l c) in the present species has at- 
tained a most remarkable development. It occupies about 
half the length of the body, excepting the proboscis, and is 
chiefly characterized by the enormous size of the frontal 
part. The latter, sharply defined from the part behind it 
is more than twice as broad as the rest of the trunk, and 
exhibits along the middle a canalicular depression, whereas 
the lateral parts are very much swollen, and beset, at the 
insertions of the chelifori, with short hairs. The part between 
the frontal and pediferous portions of the segment forms a well 
defined cylindrical neck, about the same length as the frontal 
part. The caudal segment (fig. 1 k) not separated by any 
distinct suture from the last segment of the trunk, is relatively 
very small, horizontal, and plain cylindric in form, or tapering 
a little towards the extremity, which is obtusely rounded.
