Denkschriften der Medicinisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft zu Jena denkschriftender16medi Year: 1879 222 T. V. HODGSON, 222 large ovoid eyes, the anterior pair are close together. Above the eyes the tubercle is truncated to terminate in a short spine. The abdomen is rather long, directed upwards, and bears about its middle two branched spines and a few setae more distally. In the mid dorsal line are three long slender branched spines ot some considerable elevation. The length of the entire body is i mm and its breadth is 0,5 mm. The proboscis is small, ventral, directed downwards, forming a rounded cone. The cheliferi are well developed, the scape is single-jointed, short with a strongly developed branched spine about its middle and others distally. The chela are fairly well developed turned vertically downwards, the dactyli about as long as_ the spinous palm, and curved like a pair of callipers, without teeth. The palps are not perfectly developed and it is difficult to say how many joints there should be. It was injured in removal for detailed examination, but in its present condition it consists of a short Joint with a couple of minute seta distally, then follows a longer Joint and the remainder of the appendage is bent to a considerable angle to the preceding portion. At the bend there is a small Joint quite triangulär in shape and carrying on its outer margin a spinous setae. The rest of the limb is not divided up into joints but if the arrangement of the setae may be taken as a guide there should be three. The proximal third is stout, dorsally and distally it bears two long spinous setae. The middle third is much more slender and devoid of setae, while the distal third is slightly tapering, with a long spinous seta at its base and half a dozen at the distal extremity. Ovigers none. Legs are not long, but armed throughout with spines which are for th
