med et sfaerkt chitrniseret kmuleformigt Fremspring. Side- 
hjorncrne af Hovedseguientet mindre uddragne end bos *4.. 
echinata. 0ieknuden lige opadrettet. pyramidal, endende 
i en konisk Spids, Lindserne omtrent ved Midten. Snabelen 
stserkt nedadrettet, neppe mere end halvt saa lung som 
Legemet. Saxlemmerne noget mere end halvt saa lange 
som Snabelen, Skaftet kolleformigt, uden nogen tydelig 
dorsal Fortsats, Endedelen uregelmaessig oval. Folerne 
8-leddede, 2det Led kortere end 4de, Endedelen omtrent 
af dette sidstes Lamgde. Gangfodderne neppe dobbelt saa 
lange som Legemet, uden tydelige Pigge, men med spredte 
Haar, lste Hofteled oventil ved Endeu forsynet med en 
knudeformig Fortsats, alle Hofteled hos Hannen temmelig 
t;nt haarede; Fodleddet forholdsvis endnu kraftigere end 
hos foregaaende Art, noget lortykket paa Midten ; Ende- 
kloen over halvt saa lang som Fodleddet, Bikloerne sser- 
deles smaa. Legemets Lsengde 1.50“ m ; Spandvidde 6”"". 
BemsBrkninger. Jeg antager det for rimeligt, at 
dette er Hodge's Achelia Iwvis, men Beskrivelsen er altfor 
ufuldstsendig til med fuld Sikkerhed at afgjore om saa er 
Tilfieldet. Arten er imidlertid i bogge Kjon meget let at 
kjende fra foregaaende, navnlig ved den fuldstaendige Sam- 
menvoxning af alle Kropsgegm enter, ved Gieknudens Form 
og Gangfoddernes Mangel af Pigge. Ogsaa i Saxlemmer- 
nes og Folernes Bygning er der, som af ovenstaaende 
Diagnose vil sees, vel udprsegede Ditferentser, Foruden 
Han og Hun har jeg af denne Art ogsaa havt Anledning 
til at undersoge ganske unge Individer med tydeligt cheli- 
fonne Saxlemmer. 
Beskrivelse. Legemets Lamgde er hos den fuldt 
udvidlede Hun neppe mere l 1 /-/" 1 , med en Spandvidde af 
6”"”. Hannen er ubetydelig storre. 
I ydre Habitus har denne Art (se PI. XIII, Fig. 2, 
2 a) stor Lighed med foregaaende. Kroppen (Fig. 2 b, 
2 c) er dog om muligt endnu noget plumperc og i hoi 
Grad udnuerket derved. at samtlige Segmenter er fuld- 
stsendig sammenvoxne, uden at det mindste Tegn til nogen 
Tvsersuturer kan opdages hverken oventil eller nedentil. 
Sidefortsatserne er forholdsvis noget kortere etui hos ioie- 
gaaende Art og har ved Enden oventil, som hos denne, 2 
Fortsatser; men disse er her meget ulige, idet den lorreste 
er meget liden, tilspidset og paa Toppen forsynet med en 
kort Borste, modems den bagerste har Formen af en tem- 
melig stor og stserkt chitiniseret konisk Knude uden ter- 
minal Borste. Hovedsegmentet er, som hos foregaaende 
Art, fortil nresten lige afkuttet, men har Sidehjornerne 
betydelig mindre fremspriugende. Halesegmentet er af 
ligneiule Udseende som hos A. echinata. 
Gieknuden (Fig. 2 d) er lige opadrettet, stseikt 
ophoiet og af pyramidal Form, fra Midten af successivt 
setiferous process, and posteriorly with a strongly chitinised 
nodiform protuberance. Lateral corners of the cephalic 
segment less drawn out than in A. echinata. Ocular 
tubercle directed straightly upwards, pyramidal, termin- 
ating in a conical point; the lenses situated nearly in 
the middle. Proboscis directed strongly downwards, 
scarcely more than half the length of the body. Cheli- 
fori somewhat more than half as long as the proboscis, 
scape claviform, without any distinct dorsal process, 
terminal part irregularly oval. Palpi 8-jointed, 2nd 
joint shorter than the 4th, terminal part about same 
length as the last-named. Ambulatory legs scarcely 
twice as long as the body, without distinct spines but 
with scattered setae, 1st coxal joint furnished at the end 
above with a nodiform process, all the coxal joints 
in the male rather densely setous; propodal joint, rela- 
tively still more powerful than in the preceding species, 
somewhat tumeficated at the middle; the terminal claw 
more than half as long as the propodal joint, auxili- 
ary claws particularly small. Length of the body 1.50"“; 
extent b™ M . 
Remarks. I suppose it to be probable that this is 
Hodge’s Achelia lams, but the description is much too in- 
complete to enable this to be determined with perfect 
certainty. The species is, however, in both sexes, very 
easy to distinguish from the preceding one, particularly 
by the perfect accretion of all the segments of the body, 
by the form of the ocular tubercle, and the absence of 
spines on the ambulatory legs. In the structure of the 
chelifori and palpi also, as will be observed from the 
above diagnosis, there are marked differences. Besides 
male and female, I have, also, of this species, had the 
opportunity of investigating quite young individuals with 
distinct forcipated chelifori. 
Description. The length of the body in the fully 
developed female is scarcely more than l 1 //’™ with an 
extent of 6“". The male is inconsiderably larger. 
In external habit this species has (see PI. XIII, 
fig. 2, 2 a) great resemblance to the preceding one. The 
trunk (fig. 2 b, 2 c) is, however, if possible, still more 
thick-set, and in an eminent degree remarkable by the 
fact that all the segments are completely coalesced, without 
it being possible to observe the least trace of any tians- 
versal sutures either above or below. The lateral pro- 
cesses are relatively somewhat shorter than in the pre- 
ceding species, and, like it, have, at the extremity above, 
2 processes, but these are here very unlike, inasmuch 
that the foremost one is very small, pointed, and at the 
top furnished with a short bristle, while the posterior one 
has the shape of a pretty large and strongly chitinised 
conical nodule without a terminal bristle. The cephalic 
segment is, as in the preceding species, almost straightly 
truncated in front, but has the lateral corners considerably 
less prominent. The caudal segment resembles in appear- 
ance that of A. echinata. 
The ocular tubercle (fig. 2 d) is directed straight 
upwards, strongly protuberant, and pyramidal in form,
