lsengere end 5te Led, Randtornerne bredt lancetformige, 
med 2 Par standee Tsender i det basale Parti, Yderdelen 
raed 6 Par Saugtakker. Gangfodderne tset besatte med 
korte Haar, forlioldsvis mindre forlsengede, neppe mere 
end 3‘/ 2 Gang kengere end Legemet, det terminale Afsnit 
omtrent halvt saa langt som 2det Lasgled, Podleddet bety-

Bemaerkninger. Denne Idle Art horer aabenbart 
til en anden Gruppe af SI. Nymphon end de 4 sidst be- 
skrevne, og viser i enkelte Henseender (Saxlemm ernes og 
Polernes Porm) en vis Lighed med de i Begyndelsen af 
dette Arbeide opforte After, der grupperer sig ora N. 
gracilis. Den skiller sig imidlertid kjendelig fra disse ved 
Podleddets smale Porm og Mangelen af de i Inderkanten 
af samme hos hine Arter fsestede staerke Torner, i hvilken 
Henseende den viser storre Overensstemmelse med de fol- 
gende 3 Arter. Ligeledes afviger Randtornerne paa de 
falske Fodder fra den for hine Arter ssedvanlige Byg- 
ning. 
Beskrivelse. Den horer til de mindre Arter af Skegten, 
da Legemets Lsengde kun er ‘d mm , med en Spandvidde af 22™™. 
Pormen er idethele (se PI. IX, Fig. 3) temmelig 
underseetsig, ialfald mere end hos Plerheden af Shegtens 
Arter. Kroppen (Fig. 3 a) er af den ssedvanlige cylindrisko 
Porm, med Sidefortsatserne omtrent saa lange som Kroppen 
er bred og skilte ved tydelige, omend ikke meget brede 
Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er neppe kengere end de 2 
folgende Segmenter tilsammen og har e.n temmelig kort og 
tyk Hals; Pandedelen e'r kun ganske svagt udvidet. 
Gieknuden (Fig. 3 b, 3 a) er sserdeles lav og af af- 
rundet Porm ; Lindserne er vidt adskilte, og 0iepigmentet 
viser for liver Lindse en lignende b;egerdannet Form som 
hos Artcrne af SI. Cordylochele. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 3 a) er kjendelig kortere end Hoved- 
segmentet og af regelnnessig cylindrisk Form. 
Saxlemmerne (se Pig. 3) er forlioldsvis sinaa og af 
en lignende Bygning som hos N. gracilis og beskegtede 
Arter. Haanden (Pig. 3 d) er noget kortere end Skaftet, 
af aflang oval Porm og temmelig tret iiaaret, navnlig ved 
Basis af Fingrene. Disse sidste er kjendelig kortere end 
Palmen og bevaffmede i Inderkanten med smaa Tsender • 
af ens Udseende; Spidserne er jevnt indadkrummede og 
krydser hinanden, naar Saxen lukkes. 
, Folerne (Fig. 3 e) er forlioldsvis korte og undersset- 
sige samt tret haarede, navnlig i Yderkanten. Af Leddene 
er 2det og 3die omtrent lige store. Sidste Led er af 
elliptisk Form og noget lsengere end nsestsidste; begge til- 
sammen omtrent af 3die Leds Lsengde. 
longer than the 5th joint, marginal spines broad-lance- 
olate, with 2 pairs of strong teeth at the base, outer 
part with 6 pairs of serrations. Ambulatory legs densely 
beset with short hairs, relatively less elongated, hardly 
more than 3 l /a times longer than the body, terminal sec- 
tion about half as long as the 2nd tibial joint, propodal 
joint considerably longer than the tarsal joint, rather nar- 
row, and somewhat curved, without distinctly prominent 
spines on the inner edge ; terminal claw uncommonly short, 
scarcely half as long as the propodal joint; auxiliary claws 
of about half the length of the claw itself. Length of 
body 3”™; extent 22™“. 
Remarks. This small species evidently belongs to 
another group of the genus Nymphon than the 4 last 
mentioned species, and in some points (for instance in 
the form of the chelifori and palpi) it shows a certain 
resemblance to the species described in the first part of the 
present work as grouping around N. gracilis. It is, how- 
ever, well distinguished from them by the narrow form of 
the propodal joint, and by the absence of the strong spines 
occurring in those species on the inner edge of this joint- 
in which respect it more closely agrees with the 3 suc- 
ceeding species. Moreover, the structure of the marginal 
spines on the false legs differs from that usually met with 
in the first named species. 
Description. It belongs to the smaller species of the 
genus, as the body’s length is only 3™“, with an extent of 2 2™ m . 
The form is, on the whole, (see PI. IX, fig. 3) rather 
thickset, at least, more so than in the bulk of the 
species of the genus. The trunk (fig. 3 a) has the usual 
cylindric form, with the lateral processes about as long 
as the body is broad, and separated by distinct, though 
not very wide intervals. The cephalic segment is hardly 
longer than the 2 succeeding segments taken together, and 
has a rather short and thick neck; the frontal part is but 
very slightly expanded. 
The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 3 b, 3 a) is exceedingly 
low and rounded in form; the lenses are widely separated, 
and on each of them the ocular pigment exhibits a calyx- 
shaped form, as in the species of the genus Cordylochele. 
The proboscis (see fig. 3 a) is appreciably shorter 
than the cephalic segment and is regular cylindric in form. 
The chelifori (see fig. 3) are comparatively small, and 
similar in structure to those of N. gracilis and related 
species. The hand (fig. 3 d) is somewhat shorter than 
the scape, oblongo-oval in form, and rather densely hirsute, 
in particular at the base of the fingers. The latter are 
appreciably shorter than the palm, and are armed on the 
inner edge with small teeth of uniform appearance; the 
points are evenly incurvated, and cross each other when the 
chela closes. 
The palpi (fig. 3 e) are comparatively short and 
thickset, and also densely hairy, particularly on the 
outer edge. Of the joints, the 2nd and 3rd have about 
the same size. The last joint is elliptic in form, and 
somewhat longer than the penultimate one; both taken 
together are about the length of the 3rd joint.
