. Fig. 60. Achelia hoekii {?): a. Third leg of male: x 20. c. Terminal segments of third leg: x 53. A. communis Bouvier: b. Terminal segments of third leg: x 60. The propodus is higher and more arched, with a distinct heel beset with a number of short stout spines (cf. Fig. 60 b and c). There are no prominent conical tubercles on the first coxae in the female, and just a hint of them in the male. Remarks. The co-types of Achelia hoekii were examined in the Zoological Museum, Hamburg. The Discovery specimens agree in all respects with sketches made of a male and of a female co-type. Loman

The differences (described and figured above) in (i) oviger, (2) walking legs, seem to justify
