This small species may be distinguished from A'^. pfefferi, Loman, with which it occurred in two localities, as follows, (i) The trunk is less compact and the cephalon less expanded anteriorly (cf. Figs. 16 a and 19 a). (2) The legs are more slender and setose (cf. Figs. 166 and 196) and the tarsus is consistently longer in proportion to the propodus (one- half and one-third respectively).

(3) The scape of the chelophore is longer and more slender (cf. Fig. 17 a and b); the palm is much shorter and there are fewer spin- ules on the fingers of the chela (cf. Fig. ij e and d). Even in very small specimens these differences are apparent, and when the trunk length is only 1-4 mm. there are already 15-16 spinules on the fingers of the chela in A'^. pfefferi (Fig. 17 «, cf. Fig. 176). (4) The male oviger is more slender and segment 6 is relatively short—half as long as, instead of subequal to, segment 4 (Figs. 20 a and 18 a).. Fig. 20. Nymphon paucidens, : a.
