Bemserkninger. Som ovenfor bemserket, kan jeg ikke 
vsere enig med Wilson og Here senere Forskere, naar de 
anser denne Form kun som en \ arietet af N. grossipes. 1 
Wilson selv har neppe engang havt for sig den rette 
Kroyerske Art, .og at senere Forskere uden videre har 
adopteret denne Forfatters Opfatning, maa bero paa en 
mindre indgaaende Uudersogelse af de her omhandlede For- j 
mer. Som af ovenstaaende Diagnose vil sees, viser nemlig 
nservserende Art, foruden i Lamgdeforlioldet af Halsen og 
de 2 ydre Fodled, ogsaa vel udprmgede Forskjelbgheder i 
Saxlemmeraes og Folcrnes Bygning, hvilket syncs at maatte 
ssette dens specifiske Forskjel fra N. grossipes udenfor al 
Tvivl. Den af Hoek fra Challenger Expeditionen beskrevne j 
Form, der paa Planchen er bensevnt N. armatum, synes 
mig, ialfald at doinme efter Fplernes Udseende, ubetinget 
at maatte hen fores til naervairende Art, og ikke, som Hoek 
i Textou antprer, til N. grossipes. 
Beskrivelse. Legemets Lsengde hos de storste af j 
mig under spgte Exemplar er gaar op til med en Span d- j 
vidde af 95*", og denne Art opnaar saaledes en meget an- 
selig Stprrelse. 
Legemsformen er (se PI. VI, Fig. 3), som ogsaa af 
Kroyer fremstillet, sserdeles spinkel, og navnlig udmserker 
Fodderne sig ved sin ualmindeligo Lsengde og Tyndhed. 
Selve Kroppen (Fig. 3 a, 3 b) er af smal cylindrisk Form, 
med Sidefortsatserne strerkt, forlsengede og skilte ved meget 
brede Mellemrum ; de udgaar her fra den bagre Del af de 
respective- Sementer, medens dcres Basis hos foregaaende 
Art indtager, ialfald paa de 2 midterste Scgmenter, omtrent j 
Midten af Sideflademe. Hovedsegmentot er at betydelig 
Lsengde, vel saa langt, som de 3 folgende Segmented til- 
sammen, .og udnuerket ved den saerdeles smale og forlsengede 
Hals, der er dobbelt saa lang som Pandedelen ; denne sidste 
er derimod her kjendelig mindre end hos K grossipes. 
Gieknuden er (se Fig. 3 a) paa Grand af Halsens 
betydelige Lsengde her mere end 3 Gauge kengere Ijernet 
fra Panderanden end fra Hovedsegmentets bagre Band. 
Den er stserkt ophpiet, lige opadrettet, og gaar i Enden ud 
i en skarp konisk Spids (Fig. 3 c). Lindserne er vel ud- 
viklede og forholder sig som hos foregaaende Art. 
terminal part shorter than the latter joint, marginal spines less 
elongated than in the preceding species. Ambulatory legs re- 
markably slender, from 4’ /a to 5 times longer than the body; 
tarsal joint greatly prolonged and slender; propodal joint 
relatively short, often hardly half as long as tarsal joint, 
straight, inner edge armed 1 with i — 8 elongated spines, 
terminal claw short and powerful, scarcely halt as long as 
the propodal joint; auxiliary claws uncommonly elongated, 
about 2 / 3 as long as the terminal claw. Colour yellowish 
white, with broad, orange-coloured transversal bauds. 
Length of body extent 9o mm . 
Remarks. As stated above, I do not agree with Wil- 
son and several other later naturalists in regarding this form 
as only a variety of N. grossipes. Indeed, Wilson himself 
has hardly had before him the true Kroyer species, and 
that later naturalists should so readily have adopted Mr. 
Wilson’s view, must, I think, arise from a less thorough 
examination of the forms treated of here. As will appear 
from the above diagnosis, the present species exhibits, not 
only in the longitudinal relations of the neck and the 2 outer 
leg-joints, but also in the structure of the chelifori and 
palpi, well marked differences, which would seem to place 
its specific distinction from N. grossipes beyond all doubt. 
The form described by Hoek from the Calleuger Expedition, 
designated N. armatum in the plate, should, I think, to 
judge from the appearance of the palpi, unquestionably be 
referred to the present species, and not, as Hoek in the 
text says, to N. grossipes. 
Description. The length of the body in the largest 
specimens I have examined reaches 9 V,”, the extent 
95 mw , and this species attains, therefore, a very consider- 
able size. 
The body (see PI. VI, fig. 3) is, as represented 
too. by Kroyer, exceedingly slender, and the legs are, in 
particular, distinguished by their remarkable length and 
slimness. The trunk itself (fig. 3 a, 3 b) is narrow cyl- 
indrical in form, with the lateral processes exceedingly 
elongated and marked off by very broad interspaces; they 
issue, in this animal, Irom the posterior part of the respec- 
tive segments, whereas their base in the preceding species 
occupies, at least on the 2 medial segments, about the 
middle of the lateral surfaces. * The cephalic segment is of 
considerable length, quite as long as the 3 succeeding seg- 
ments taken together, and characterised by the exceedingly 
slender ftnd elongated neck, which is double the length of 
the frontal part; the latter, on the other hand, is ap- 
preciably smaller than in N. grossipes. 
The oculiferous tubercle (see fig. 3a,), is here, owing 
to the considerable length of the neck, more than 3 times as 
far from the frontal margin as from the posterior edge of 
the cephalic segment. It is exceedingly protuberant, directed 
straight upwards, and runs out • at .the end to a shaip 
conical point (fig. 3 c). The lenses are well developed and, 
otherwise, are as in the preceding species.
