Bodij very slightly longer than the metatarsus of the fourth leg and much longer than the tibia of the second or fourth. Scutum without any conspicuous processes (except those on the anterior margin and the ocular tubercle and its pro- cesses) ; the greater part of its surface is covered with granules, each bearing a short stout hair, but anteriorly at the sides a considerable area is smooth and without granules; below this smooth area and close to the margin a group of rather coarse granules is present: on the anterior margin (on either side of the ocular tubercle) three conical processes occur; just behind the ocular tubercle there is a pair of slightly enlarged granules, and in the middle of the last segment (posterior margin) of the scutum a rather large granule is present (a similar granule being present in the middle of the first two of the free abdominal segments). Ocular tubercle with the characteristic processes only moderately developed (fig. 1). Fis:. Sitalces akiyama, sp. n. Lateral view of ocular tubercle and first leg. Chelicera with the two proximal segments about equal in length. First (proximal) segment armed with a longitudinal series of processes on each side below; on the outer side these processes are five in number (not counting two small.
