hâve appended a comparative table setting forth the main charac- 
ters of the armature of the two species, and also certain other 
details which may be worthy of record. 
Génital armature of the males of : 
Infèrior 
claspers. 
Superior 
claspers. 
Ph. papatasii. 
Pielatively long witli lu o 
large terminal spines. 
Central distal spine fain- 
tly dilaled, latéral spi- 
nes equal in length. 
A bdominai 
hairs. 
Erecl. 
Ph ? duboscqui (N° 2 / 57 ).. 
Holatively short witli four 
or more terminal spines. 
Central distal spine broa- 
dly spalhuliform. latéral 
spines niarhedly une- 
(jual in length. 
Erect. 
In regard to the number of spines at the distal end of the infe- 
0 
rior claspers in P. duboscqui onlv four arç présent in the example 
submitted to me by Dr. E. Roubaud, but there are unmistakable 
traces of one or two others having been broken away in the pré¬ 
paration, so that the total number may be five or six. Annax- 
dale (i) States that the infèrior appendages (claspers R. N.) in Ph. 
papatasii bear « about six short chitinous spines at the tip ». Now 
it is perfectlv clear that his specimens were not Pli. papatasii as 
the infèrior appendage in this species never has more than two 
spines which are also stronger and more markelv dilated dis- 
tally. Clearly therefore the material supplied to ànnandale as 
Ph. papatasii must be referable to some other species. 
Should the species herein referred to as Ph. dubosqui , prove 
eventually to be a new and undescribed one I would venture to 
propose the spécifie name Roubaudi.

Abdominal hairs chiefly recumbentj a few, however, were semi- 
erect but these had evidently been displaced.
