Abdomen of the male wider than in livrbxt!!. outline concave, penultimate segment widest at its distal end. Coxae of fifth pair of feet in broad contact with third abdominal segment. Seventh seg- ment of sternum shows but little. The marginal depression on the carpus near the articulation with the hand is wide and deep. In some specimens the carpus is finely.

The hand varies in much the same way ; in some specimens finely granulate ; in others, thrown up in rug;e as on the carpus. In the latter case the hand is always much smoother than the carpus in the same specimen. Fingers brown or horn-color, shading to clear white at the tips. There is a large tooth at the base of the dactyl of the lai-ge hand. The color on the immovable finger does not extend beyond the line of color on the movable finger ; while in Herbstii it usually extends considerably beyond. This species closely resembles E. Herbstii, as shown by the above description, and is easily confounded with it. The most important distinctive character seems to be the much more distinct distal groove on the carpus, but this varies. In Herbstii it is sometimes.
