Bemserkninger. Nmmerende Form stemmer idethele 
saa vel med den af Professor Lilljeborg givne Diagnose af 
sin N. glaciate, at jeg maa betragte begge som identiske. 
Arten staar paa en Maade midt imellem N. brevitarse og 
N. grossipes, men er ganske sikkert forskjellig fra begge. 
Beskrivelse. Legemets Lmngde bos fuldt udviklede 
segbserende Hanner er omtrent 4 1 / 3 '" m , med en Spandvidde 
a f 34 "™_ Arten opnaar saaledes en betydeligere Storrelse 
end N. brevitarse, men staar dog i denne Henseende langt 
tilbage for N. grossipes. 
Forinen er (se PI. VI, fig. 1) noget mindre under- 
ssetsig end hos N. brevitarse, skjondt Fpdderne ikke er 
fuldt saa lange som hos denne Art. Kroppen (Fig. 1 a. 
1 b) er iinidlertid kjendelig slankere, med forboldsvis be- 
tydelig lamgere og ogsaa noget videre adskilte Sidefortsat- 
ser. Hovedsegmentet er noget lamgere end de 2 folgende 
Segmenter tilsammen og liar en tydelig begrsendset og tem- 
melig smal Hals. Pandedelen er forboldsvis stserkt ud- 
videt i Enden og oventil i Midten, som smdvanlig, noget 
rendet'ormig fordybet. 
0ieknuden (Fig. 1 c), der er beliggende dobbelt saa 
langt Ira Panderanden som fra Hovedsegmentets bagre Rand, 
er kun lidet ophoiet og stumpt tilspidset i Enden. Lind- 
serne er forholdsvis store og af ssedvanligt TTdseende. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 1 a, 1 b) er forholdsvis kort og tyk, 
paa langt nmr ikke af Hovedsegmentets Lsengde og tem- 
melig staerkt nedadrettet. 
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er af middelmaadig Storrelse og 
bar Skaftet noget lamgere end Haanden. Den sidste (Fig. 
1 d) er temmelig bred, oval, eller aflang trckantet og besat 
med korte Haar. Fingrene er omtrent af Palmens Lsengde 
og viser den ssedvanlige Form og Bevsebning. 
Folerne (Fig. 1 c) bar 2det og 3die Led af ens Lsengde 
og Endepartiet omtrent saa langt som 3die Led. Sidste 
Led er af aflang oval Form og noget lamgere og smalere 
end nsestsidste. 
De lalske Fodder bos Hannen er temmelig stserkt 
forlamgede, lige udstrakte, kjendelig lamgere end Legemet, 
og bar 4de Led noget kortere end 5te, der omtrent er af 
Endepartiets Lsengde. Randtornerne (Fig. 1 f) er bredt 
lancetformige og bar, ligesom bos de foregaaende Arter, 
nsermere Basis et Par stserke Tsender, medens den spyd- 
formigt tilspidsede Endedel er meget fint og regelmsessigt 
saugtakket i Kanterne. 
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 1) er temmelig spinkle, skjondt 
neppe fuldt 3 Gauge laengere end Legemet og besatte med 
spredte tynde Burster. lste Ltegled er omtrent af Laar- 
leddets Lsengde, hvorimod 2det do. er omtrent 1 / 5 laengere 
og ikke fuldt dobbelt saa langt som det terminate Afsnit. 
Tarsalleddet (se Fig. 1 g) er stmrkere forlamget end hos 
N. brevitarse og af lineser Form. Fodleddet er lidt kortere, 
temmelig kraftigt, men neppe krummet, og i Inderkanten 
bevsebnet med et betydeligt Antal (omtrent 9) stserkt for- 
lsengede Torner. Endekloen er forboldsvis kort, kun lidt 
Kemarks. The present form agrees, on the whole, so 
closely with the diagnosis given by Professor Lilljeborg of 
bis N. glaciate, that I cannot but regard the two as iden- 
tical. 4 he species ranks, in a sense, midway between _A. 
brevitarse and N. grossipes, but is different, without doubt, 
from both. 
Description. The length of the body in fully devel- 
oped ovigerous males is about 4 1 / 2 "’", the extent 34’”"'. 
Hence the species attains a more considerable size than 
N. brevitarse. but in that respect falls far, behind N. 
grossipes. 
The form (see PI. VI, fig. 1) is somewhat less thick- 
set than in N. brevitarse, though the legs are not quite 
as long as in that species. The trunk (fig. la, lb) is, 
however, appreciably more slender, with the lateral pro- 
cesses relatively a good deal longer and farther apart. The 
cephalic segment is somewhat longer than the 2 following 
segments taken together, and has a distinctly defined and 
rather slender neck. The frontal part is comparatively 
greatly expanded at the extremity, and above in the middle, 
is, as usual, somewhat canalicularly hollowed. 
The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 1 c), located twice as 
far from the frontal margin as from the posterior edge of 
the cephalic segment, is but litlte elevated, aud obtusely 
pointed at the end. The lenses are comparatively large 
and of the usual appearance. 
The proboscis (see fig. 1 a, 1 b) is comparatively 
short and thick, not nearly attaining the length of the ce- 
phalic segment, aud is strongly directed obliquely downwards. 
The cbelifori (ibid.) are of moderate size and have 
the scape somewhat longer than the hand; the latter (fig. 
1 d) is rather broad, oval, or oblong trigonal, and beset 
with short hairs. The fingers are about as long as the 
palm, and exhibit the usual form and armature. 
The palpi (fig. 1 c) have the 2nd and 3rd joints of 
equal length, and the terminal part about as long as the 3rd 
joint. The last joint is oblongo-oval in form, and somewhat 
longer and slenderer than the penultimate one. 
The false legs in the male are considerably elon- 
gated, when fully extended, of greater length even than 
the body, and have the 4th joint somewhat shorter than 
the 5th, which attains about the length of the terminal 
part. The marginal spines (fig. 1 f) are broadly lanceo- 
late and have, as in the foregoing species, nearer to the 
base, a pair of strong teeth, whereas the hastiform acu- 
minate terminal part is very finely and regularly serrated 
on the edges. 
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 1) are rather slender, 
though hardly quite attaining 3 times the length of the 
body, aud are beset with scattered fine setm. The lsttibial 
joint is about same length as the femoral one, whereas the 
2nd is about 1 / 5 longer and not quite twice as long as the 
terminal section. The tarsal joint (see fig. 1 g) is more pro- 
longed than in N. brevitarse, and is linear in form. The 
propodal joint is a trifle shorter, rather powerful, but very 
little if at all curved, and is armed on the inner edge with 
a considerable number (about 9) of very elongate spines.
