fortsatserne tennnelig forlaengede saint skilte ved biede 
Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er betydelig kortere end hos 
N. longitarse, neppe laengere end de 2 f 0 lgen.de Segmentin' 
tilsammen. Halsen er vistnok tydeligt begrtendset og staerkt 
indknebet, men paa langt user ikke af den enormo Laengde 
som hos hin Art, hvorimod Pandedelen er kjendelig storre, 
omtrent 3 Gauge bredere end Halsen. 
0ieknuden ligger her neppe mere end dobbelt saa 
langt fra Panderanden som fra Hovedsegmentets bagre 
Rand. Den er noget ophoiet og synes, naar Dyret sees 
fra Siden (Pig. 1 b), afrundet i Spidsen. Seet forfra eller 
bagfra (Pig. 1 c), viser den sig noget afsmalnende mod 
Enden, der er tvaert afkuttet. med Sidehjornerne uddragne 
i Form af smaa tandformige Premspring. Lindserne, der 
har en noget elliptisk Porm, ligger omtrent ved Midteu 
af 0ieknudens Hoide. 
Snabelen (Pig. 1 a, 1 b) er staerkt forlaenget, neppe 
kortere end Hovedsegmentet, horisoiitalt fortilrettet og af 
den sredvanlige cylindriske Porm. 
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er ualmindelig spinkle og svagt 
byggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og omtrent af Sna- 
belens Laengde, Haanden adskilligt kortere, test haaret, og 
meget smal, med forholdsvis kort Palm og staerkt forlaen- 
gede Fingre. Disse sidste (Fig. 1 c), der ei kjendelig 
laengere end Palmen, er saerdeles smale og teinmelig staei kt 
krnmmede i sit ydre Parti, endeude med meget tynde ind- 
boiede Spidser. Taenderne i Inderkanten er laengere og 
mindre taetstillede end hos de foregaaende Arter og omtrent 
af ens Udseende paa begge Pingre. 
Folerne (Fig. 1 f) ndnuerker sig ligeledes ved sin spinkle 
Form og er neppe kortere end Saxlemmerne. Af Leddene 
er 2det og 3die omtrent af ens Laengde, hvorimod de 2 
ydre Led er meget nlige i Stcrrelse, idet, uligt hvad Til- 
Mdet er hos de fleste ovrige Arter, nmstsidste Led her 
er betydelig, naesten dobbelt saa langt som sidste. Begge 
disse Led tilsammen er noget laengere end 3die Led. 
De falske Fodder hos Hannen (se Fig. 1 a) er noget 
mindre staerkt forlaengede end hos foregaaende Art, neppe 
synderlig laengere end Legemet, og har oto Led storst. 
Dette Led er desuden udmaerket ved Tilstedevaerelsen langs 
Inderkanten af en Raekke eiendommelige knndeformige 
Udvaexter, liver forsynet med en kort, omboiet Borste. 
Endedelen (Fig. 1 g) er noget kortere end 5te Led og 
har lste Led temmelig bredt ved Basis og noget sammen- 
trykt fra Siderne samt tset besat med korte stive Haar, 
der ligeledes er faestede til smaa knudef'ormige Premspring. 
Randtornerne paa de ydre Led (Pig. 1 h) fork older sig 
noget uligo, idet de ved Enden af Leddene er grovt sang- 
takkede i hele sin Laengde, medens de paa Midten af Led- 
dene er mere lancetdannede og har 2 Par smaa Tsender 
ved Basis, de ovrige Saugtakker meget brede, pladefor- 
mige. 
the lateral processes rather elongated and also separated by 
broad intervals. The cephalic segment is considerably 
shorter than in N. longitarse , scarcely longer than the 2 
succeeding segments taken together. The neck is indeed 
distinctly defined and greatly constricted, though not nearly 
the prodigious length met with in that species, whereas 
the frontal part is appreciably larger, about 3 times the 
breadth of the neck. 
The oculiferous tubercle in this animal lies hardly 
more than twice as far from the frontal margin as from 
the posterior edge of the cephalic segment. It is some- 
what elevated and, when the animal is viewed laterally 
(fig. 1 b), seems rounded at the point. Seen either anter- 
iorly or posteriorly (fig. 1 c), it appears tapering somewhat, 
towards the end, which’ is transversely truncated with the 
lateral corners produced as small dentiform projections. 
The lenses are somewhat elliptic in form, and are located 
about midway up the tubercle. 
The proboscis (see fig. la, lb) is exceedingly elong- 
ated, scarcely shorter than the cephalic segment, directed 
horizontally forward, and of the usual cylindric, form. 
The chelifori (ibid.) are uncommonly slim and feeble 
in structure. The scape is slender cylindrical and about 
same length as the proboscis, the hand a good deal shorter, 
densely covered with hair and very narrow, with relatively 
short palm and greatly elongated fingers. The latter (fig. 
1 e), which are appreciably longer than the palm, are par- 
ticularly slender, and rather sharply bent in the outer part, 
terminating in very fine incurvate points. The teeth on 
the inner edge are longer and less closely arranged than 
in any of the preceding species, and are well-nigh similar 
in appearance in both fingers. 
The palpi (fig. If), likewise distinguished by their 
slender form, are but very little, if at all, shorter than the 
chelifori. Of the joints, the 2nd and 3rd are about equal 
in length, whereas the 2 outer ones are very unequal in 
size, in so far, that the penultimate joint, unlike whatis the 
case in most of the other species, is, in this animal, con- 
siderably. indeed almost twice as long as the terminal one. 
Both these joints taken together are somewhat longer than 
the 3rd. 
The false legs in the male (see fig. 1 a) are not 
quite so prominently elongated as in the preceding species, 
very little, if at all, longer than the body, and have the 
5th joint largest. This joint is, moreover, characterised by 
the presence along the inner edge of a series of peculiar 
tuberculiform excrescences, each of which is furnished with 
a short recurvatc bristle. The terminal part (fig. 1 g) is 
somewhat shorter than the 5th joint, with the 1st joint 
rather broad at the base and somewhat compressed from 
the sides, and closely beset with short, stiff hairs, which 
are also secured to small tuberculiform projections. The 
marginal spines on the outer joints (fig. 1 h) vary some- 
what in character, as those at the end of the joints are 
coarsely serrate throughout the whole of their length, 
whereas those at the middle of the joints are more lance- 
olate in form and have 2 pairs of small teeth at the base; 
the rest of the denticles are very broad and lamellar.
