The ocular eminence is furnished with u'regular hairs. The '' flagellum " is very variable. (i.) The Ehagodinae include the two genera, Bhagodes (Ehax) and Dinorhax. The first has twenty-two species, which in- habit Africa and Asia. The single species of Dinorhax belongs to East Asia. These creatures are short-legged and sluggish. (ii.) The Solpuginae contain two genera —Solpuga with about fifty species, and Zeriana with three. They are all inhabit- ants of Africa, and some occur on the African shore of the Mediterranean. (iii.) The Daesiinae number about forty species, divided among several genera, among which the principal are Daesia, Gluvia, and Gnosippvs. They are found Fig. 220.—Chelicerae and j^ tropical regions of both the Old and HageUei, oi A, RjMffodes ; -"^ ° B, Solpuga; and c, the iNew World.
