I therefore propose to call the British-Museum example Lipliistius mammilla7iuSy and briefly to characterize it as follows :— Liphistius mammillanuSj n. sp. Adult female, length 20 lines =42 millims. Abdomen similar in colour to that of Z. desultor (Schiodte), and its upperside similarly covered by a longitudinal series of transverse articulated corneous plates. The spiracular plates are four in number, grouped closely together beneath the fore extremity of the abdomen (fig. 1, hbbh)] and immediately behind them are four mammillary organs, placed two and two, as represented (fig. 1, a a a a); tlie two foremost are much larger than the two hinder ones, of a curved subconical or rather tapering form, composed of several (about twelve) arti- culations or rings, of which the basal one is much the largest; the two hinder organs are somewhat similar in form, though much smaller, and the basal annulation is not nearly so broad.
