Segmenter tilsammen, og liar paa Midten eu streik Ind- 
knibning, der danner on meget kort, men tydelig Hals. 
Det ydre Parti, idler Pandedelen, er sserdeles stserkt ud- 
videt og massivt, 3 Gauge bredere end Halsen og djbt 
rendeformigt fordybet elter Midten af den ovre Flade, med 
Sidedelene stserkt opsvulmede. Halesegmentet er horizon- 
tal, af smal cylindrisk Form og stumpt afrundet i Spidsen. 
0ieknuden er yderst liden og rudimcntter, saa at den 
let forbisees, og mangier ethvert Spor af Pigment eller 
Synselementer. Naar Legemet sees fra Siden (Fig. 3 a), 
tager den sig ud som et lidet konisk tilspidset Fiemspiing 
ved Basis af Halsdelen. Forfra eller bagfra seet (Fig. 3 c) 
viser den sig imidlertid at danne en tvserstillet, bredt af- 
rundet Flig. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 3 a) er omtrent af Hovedsegmen- 
tets Lsengde og noget skjaevt nedadrettet. Den afsmalnes 
successivt mod den stumpt afkuttede Spids og faar derved 
et udprseget koniskt Udseende. 
Saxlemmerne (se Fig. 3 a, 3 b) er meget kraftigt ud- 
viklede og, lige udstrakte, omtrent af Kroppens Laengde, 
naar Snabelen og Halesegmentet fraregnes. Skaftet er af 
cylindrisk Form, dog kjendelig indknebet mer Basis, og 
rundtom besat med smaa, pigformige Haar. Haanden 
(Fig. 3 d) er lidt kortere end Skaftet og udmserker sig fra 
samme hos de pvrige Nymphonider v'ed sin eiendommelige 
Form. Palmen er forholdsvis kort, stserkt indknebet ved 
Basis og af udprseget trekantet Form. Den er noget op- 
svulmet paa Midten og paa den ydre Flade besat med 
lignende pigformige Haar som paa Skaftet, isser henad 
Basis af den ubevsegelige Finger. Begge Fingre er meget 
smale og forlsengede, omtrent dobbelt saa lange som Palmen 
og af udprseget klodannet Form. De mangier ganske de 
ssedvanlige Tamder i Inderkanten og er overordentlig stserkt, 
naisten halvcirkelformigt krummede, endende i sylskarpe 
Spidser, der krydser hinanden, naar Saxen lukkes. Selv 
i dette sidste Tilfmlde er der dog altid mellem Fingrene 
en vid Aabning, livad der har givet Anledning til den af 
Heller anvendte Artsbensevnelse „hians“. 
Folerne (Fig. 3 e) er betydelig kortere end Saxlem- 
merne og af et lignende Udseende som hos SI. Nymphon. 
De er temmelig bet besatte med korte Haar, der navnlig 
i det ydre Parti er meget fine, og har 2det Led lsengst, 
de 3 folgende hastigt aftagende i Storrelse. Sidste Led 
er meget smalt og sammen med nsestsidste lsengere end 
3die. 
De falske Fodder er hos begge Kjon omtrent af ens 
Lsengde og, lige udstrakte, ikke fuldt saa lange som Lege- 
met (se Fig. 3 a). De er hos Hannen (Fig. 3 t) tset 
besatte med eiendommelige pigformige Burster, der tor det 
meste er mere eller mindre stserkt ombpiede og noget 
ment is of very considerable size, even appreciably longer 
than the 3 succeeding segments together, and has a strong 
constriction in the middle, which forms a very short but 
distinct neck. The outer portion or frontal part, is par- 
ticularly greatly expanded and massive, 3 times broader 
than the neck, and deeply, canalicularly hollowed along 
the middle of the upper surface, with the lateral parts 
strongly tumefied. The caudal segment is horizontal, nar- 
row cylindric in form, and bluntly rounded at the point. 
The ocular tubercle is extremely small and rudiment- 
ary, so that it is easily unobserved, and it is deficient in 
the slightest trace of pigment or visual elements. \V hen 
the body is viewed laterally (fig. 3 a) the tubercle appears 
like a small, conically acuminated projection at the base 
of the cervical portion. Viewed anteriorly or posteriorly 
(fig. 3 c), it shows itself to be a transversally placed, 
broad rounded lobe. 
The proboscis (see fig. 3 a) is about the length of the 
cephalic segment, and is somewhat obliquely directed down- 
wards. It becomes gradually narrower towards the bluntly 
truncated point, and in this way acquires a distinguished 
conical appearance. 
The chelifori (see fig. 3 a, 3 b) are very powerfully devel- 
oped, and, when straightly extended, are about the length 
of the body if the proboscis and caudal segment are de- 
ducted. The scape is cylindric in form, but appreciably con- 
stricted near the base, and is beset roundabout with small 
spiniform hairs. The hand (fig. 3 d) is a little shorter than 
the scape, and distinguishes itself from the same feature 
in the other Nympho nids by its peculiar shape. The 
palm is relatively short, strongly constricted at the base, 
and of distinguished trigonal form. It is somewhat tumefied 
in the middle and, upon the outer surface, is beset with 
similar spiniform hairs as upon the scape, especially to- 
wards the base of the immobile finger. Both fingers are 
very narrow and elongated, about twice the length of the 
palm and of distinguished claw-shaped form. They are 
entirely deficient in the usual teeth on the inner margin, 
and are extraordinarily strongly bent, almost semi-circularly, 
terminating in points sharp as awls, which cross each 
other when the chela is closed. Even in that last case 
there is always left a wide opening between the fingers, 
which feature has been the cause of the designation „hians“ 
being given to it by Heller, as a specific name. 
The palpi (fig. 3 e) are considerably shorter than 
the chelifori, and are similar in appearance to those of the 
genus Nymphon. They are rather densely beset with short 
setse, which, especially in the outer portion, are very del- 
icate; the 2nd joint is the longest, and the 3 succeeding 
ones diminish rapidly in size. The last joint is very nar- 
row, and, together with the penultimate one, is longer 
than the 3rd. 
The false legs are about equal in length in both 
sexes, and, straightly extended, are not quite as long as 
the body (see fig. 3 a). In the male (see fig. 3 f) they are 
densely beset with peculiar spiniform bristles, which are gener- 
ally more or less strongly recurvate and somewhat flexuous,
