af Legemets Længde, naar Snabelen fraregnes, og er
navnlig udmærket ved den overordentlig stærkt forlængede og
smale cylindriske Hals. Derimod er Pandedelen her
betydelig mindre, idet den neppe er halvt saa lang som
Halsen og heller ikke pia langt nær dobbelt saa bred som
Kroppen paa det tykkeste. Den er som hos foregaaende
Art skarpt afmarkeret fra Halsen, noget fordybet langs
den ovre Side og har Sidehjørnerne stumpt afrundede.
Hale-segmentet viser en lignende Fonn som hos foregaaende Art,
men har Spidsen mere tydeligt indskaaret i Midten.
Øieknuden er ogsaa her (se Fig. 2 a) temmelig lav,
dog noget mere fremspringende end hos den typiske Art
og stumpt tilspidset i Enden. Lindserne er (se Fig. 2 c)
særdeles store, næsten sammenstødende, og det til enhver
horende Pigment, synes her at danne en fælles central
Masse.
Snabelen forholder sig i alt væsentligt ganske som
hos foregaaende Art.
Ogsaa Saxlemmerne er (se Fig. 2 a, 2 b) af en meget
lignende Bygning, om de end i Detailerne viser enkelte
vel udprægede Ditferentser. De er idethele paa langt
nær ikke saa robuste, spm hos den typiske Art, og har
Skaftet temmelig smalt, cylindriskt og ganske glat.
Haanden (Fig. 2 d) er, som hos foregaaende Art, stærkt
opsvulmet, næsten kugleformig, men af forholdsvis ringere
Størrelse og besat med korte, temmelig ens udviklede Haar.
Fingrene, der er adskilligt kortere end Palmen, er mindre
stærkt chitiniserede, med Spidsen kun meget svagt
krummet. Paa den ubevægelige Finger findes ogsaa her et
pladgfprmigt Fremspring, men dette har her en ganske glat,
ikke tandet, Eg, og den tandformige Fortsats i Inderkanten
af denne Finger synes at mangle, eller er ialfald meget
utydelig. Derimod har den bevægelige Finger i Midten
af Inderkanten en tydelig saadan Fortsats.
De falske Fodder er hos Hannen (se Fig. 2 a) stærkt
forlængede og idethele spinklere end hos foregaaende Art.
5te Led er ogsaa her det længste og har i Enden en
lignende børstebesat Lap; men Forskjellen i Længde mellem
dette og det foregaaende Led er dog lier mindre end hos
den typiske Art. Af Endepartiets Led (Fig. 2 c) er det
lste næsten saa langt som de 2 folgende tilsammen og
cylindriskt. Bandtornerne paa de -1 ydre Led (Fig. 2 f)
stemmer i Bygning nær overens med samme hos
foregaaende Art, men synes forholdsvis noget smalere. Endekloen
er ligeledes tyndere og mere forlænget end hos denne Art.
Gangfødderne (se Fig. 2) er, sammenlignede med
samme hos C. malleolata, særdeles spinkle og forlængede,
næsten 4 Gange længere end Legemet, og kun sparsomt
haarbesatte. Af Hofteleddene er 2det stærkt forlænget,
længere end de 2 øvrige tilsammen; Laarleddet er hos
Hunnen dobbelt saa langt som Hoftepartiet og noget
opsvulmet, skjøndt mindre end hos foregaaende Art; I ste
Lægled er neppe kortere end Laarleddet og 2det do. er ’/2
Gang længere og meget smalt. Tarsalleddet (se Fig. 2 g)
er, som hos foregaaende Art, meget lidet, dog længere i
the length of the body, excepting the proboscis, and is chiefly
characterized by th° prodigiously elongated and narrow
cylindrical neck. On the other hand the frontal part is
considerably smaller, being scarcely half as long as the neck
and not, by far, twice as broad as the trunk where thickest.
As in the preceding species, it is sharply marked off from
the neck, somewhat hollowed along the upper side, and has
the lateral corners obtusely rounded. The caudal segment
exhibits a similar form to that of the foregoing species but
has the point more distinctly incised in the middle.
The oculiferous tubercle is also in this animal (see
fig. 2 a) rather low, projecting, however, somewhat more than
in the typical species, and lias the extremity obtusely
acuminated. The lenses (see fig. 2 c) are exceedingly large,
well-nigh contiguous, and the pigment belonging to each
would seem to constitute here a common central mass.
The proboscis is in all essential characteristics
precisely as in the preceding species.
Also the chelifori (see fig. 2 a, 2 b) exhibit a very
similar structure, although with certain well-marked minor
differences. They are, on the whole, by no means so robust
as in the typical species and have the scape rather
narrow, cylindrical, and quite smooth. The hand (fig. 2 d) is,
as in the preceding species, very much swollen, almost
globular, bnt comparatively small in size and beset with
rather uniformly developed short hairs. The fingers, a good
deal shorter than the palm, are less highly chitinised, with
the point only gently curved. On the immobile finger
occurs. too, in this animal, a lamelliform projection, but with
a perfectly smooth, not dentited, edge, and the dentiform
process on the inner edge would seem to be absent or at
least, is very indistinct. The mobile finger has. however,
in the middle of the inner edge, such a process distinctly
developed.
The false legs in the male (see fig. 2 a) are very
elongate and, on the whole, more slender than in the preceding
species. The 5th joint is, also, in the present form the longest,
and has at the extremity a similar setiferous lobe; but the
difference in length between this and the preceding joint
is, however, less than in the typical species. Of the joints
composing the terminal part (fig. 2 c), the 1st is well-nigh
as long as the 2 succeeding ones taken together, and is
cy.-lindrie in form. The marginal spines on the 4 outer joints
(fig. 2 f) correspond in structure, almost quite, with those of
tile preceding species, but would seem to be relatively
somewhat slenderer. The terminal claw is likewise more
slender and elongate than in the said form.
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 2) are, as compared
with those of C. malleotata, excessively slim and elongated,
almost 4 times longer than the body, and but sparingly
beset with hair. Of the coxal joints the 2nd is very elongate,
its length exceeding that of the 2 others taken together; the
femoral joint in the female is twice as long as the coxal
part and somewhat tumid, although less so than in the
preceding species; the 1st tibial joint is hardly shorter than
the femoral joint, and the 2nd is half as long again and very
slender. The tarsal joint (see fig. 2 g) is, as in the preceding
