Beskrivelse. Det eneste foreliggende Exemplar, der 
synes at vsere en Hun, liar en Lsengde af 5 med en 
Spandvidde af 48”'. Den borer saaledes til de middel- 
store Arter. 
Legemets Form er (se PI. X, Fig. 1), om ikke ual- 
mindelig spinkel, saa dog kjendelig smrekrere end bos fore- 
gaaende Art, navnlig hvad de forskjellige Lommer angaar. 
Selve Kroppen (Fig. 1 a) er af ssedvanJigt Udseende, mod 
Sidefortsatserne tommclig lange og skilte ved tydelige, 
skjondt ikke meget brede Mellemrnm. Hovedsegmentet er 
omtrent saa langt som de 3 folgende Segmenter tilsammen 
og har en tydelig og temmelig smal Hals; Pandedelen er 
kun ganslte svagt udvidet og neppe bredere end Kroppen 
paa Midten. 
Gieknuden (Fig. 1 b) er ikke meget opboiet og viser, 
forfra eller bagfra seet, 2 stserkt fremspringende Sidehjpr- 
ner, hvorved Enden faar Udseendet. af at vaere noget ud- 
randet i Midten. Lindserne er ikke meget store og ligger 
noget mermere Enden end Basis af Gieknuden. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 1 a) er af regelnnessig cylindrisk 
Form og kjendelig kortere end Hovedsegmentet. 
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er forboldsvis meget smaa og 
svagt byggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og mod Enden 
temmelig tset haaret. Haanden (Fig. 1 c) er betydelig 
kortere end Skaftet og ligeledes ualmindelig smal. samt 
tmt haaret, navnlig ved Basis af Fingrene. Disse sidste 
er omtrent af Palmens Lrengde og, som hos foregaaende 
Art, forsynede i Inderkanten med smaa ensudviklede Ten- 
der, og med skarpe indkrummede Spidser. 
1 Denne er forsaavidt maaske noget ulieldigt valgt, som man 
nu ialmindelighed ved Haanden forstaar det ydre Parti af Saxlem- 
merne. Jeg har imidlertid ikke troet at burde forandre den en 
Gang foreslaaede Artsbetegnclse. 
as the body, 2nd tibial joint narrow linear in form, about two 
and a half times as long as the terminal section, tarsal joint 
comparatively short, propodal joint, on the contrary, un- 
commonly large, almost a half longer than the tarsal joint 
and somewhat tumeficated in the middle, inner edge armed 
with a dense series of thin spines, terminal claw about 
half as long as the propodal joint, rather powerful ; auxiliary 
claws remarkably small and rudimentary. Length of body 
.M/s”""; extent 48”’. 
Remarks. This species is especially distinguished by 
the relations in the terminal part of the ambulatory legs, and, 
in particular, by the great development of the propodal joint, 
which has suggested the specific designation. 1 Moreover, 
the rudimentary nature of the auxiliaiy claws is especially 
characteristic. In its general habitus it exhibits some 
resemblance to the, with N, grossipes related forms, but 
seems, however, in certain anatomical characters, to have 
more in pominon with the 2 following species. 
Description. The only specimen before me, ap- 
parently a female, has a length of with an extent 
of 48’™. It belongs therefore to the middle-sized species. 
The body (see PI. X, fig. 1), though not perhaps 
exceptionally slender, is at least appreciably slimmer 
than in the preceding species, more especially as regards 
the different limbs. The trunk itself (fig. 1 a) has the 
usual appearance, with the lateral processes rather long, 
and separated by distinct, though not very wide inter- 
vals. The cephalic segment is about as long as the 
3 following segments taken together, and has a distinct 
and rather narrow neck. The frontal part is but very 
slightly expanded and hardly broader than the trunk in 
the middle. 
The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 1 b) is not very elev- 
ated, and exhibits, viewed anteriorly or posteriorly, 2 
strongly projecting lateral corners, which gives to the 
extremity the appearance of being somewhat emarginate 
in the middle. The lenses are not very large and lie 
somewhat nearer the extremity than the base of the 
oculiferous tubercle. 
The proboscis (see fig. 1 a) is regular cylindric in 
form and appreciably shorter than the cephalic segment. 
The chelifori (ibid.) are comparatively very small 
and feeble in structure. The scape is narrow-cylindric 
and, towards the extremity, rather densely hirsute. The 
hand (fig. 1 c) is considerably shorter than the scape and 
likewise exceedingly narrow, also densely hairy, especially 
at the base of the fingers. The latter are about as 
long as the palm, and, as in the preceding species, are 
provided on the inner edge with small, uniformly developed 
teeth, and with sharp incurvated points. 
1 Perhaps not the most appropriate one, the „hand“ being now 
generally taken to signify the outer part of the chelifori. Meanwhile 
I have not seen fit to change the specific appellation originally pro- 
posed.
