Hirst on new Opiliones from similar granule on its ventral surface. Femur only with a conical setiferous granule, which is situated near the proximal end below. Patella quite smooth and without either granules or processes. Tibia and tarsus strongly armed. Tibia with three spines on its inner side, the first and second being long, but the apical one shorter; on the outer side it has four spines, the second one from the proximal end being the longest and the first one next in size ; several much smaller spines are placed in the middle of the ventral surface. Tarsus with four spines on each side, but those of the apical pair are very- small, especially the one on the outer side, which is practi- cally obsolete. (Fig. 3.). Pseudobiajiies japonicus, sp. n. External view of palp. Legs.—Number of tarsal segments 8, 17-19, 7, 8. Measurements in mm.—Total length 3'5; length of palp (from base of femur) about 6, of first \^g 9"0, of second 14*75,. of third 11, of fourth 14-75. Colour.—Ground-colour whitish. Cephalothoraeic area of scutum marked with a broad median fuscous band and also with a dark marginal line on each side; abdominal segments of the scutum (with the exception of the last one) dark at the sides but pale in the middle ; the two anterior free segments are also darkened at the sides, but the last has only a dark spot in the middle^ Anal operculum wholly dark ; the rest of the ventral surface whitish. Proximal segment of cheli- cera and the base of the second segment slightly darkened dorsally. Femur and patella of palp slightly darkened at each end ; the tibia and tarsus rather deeply infuscate (dark grey) and contrasting rather strongly with the other segments of the appendage. The principal markings of the legs are as follows :—Femora somewhat darkened at the distal end ; patellae usually entirely greyish above ; ti
