fortsatserne temmelig forlængede samt skilte ved brede
Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er betydelig kortere end hos
N. longitarse. neppe længere end de 2 følgende Segmenter
tilsammen. Halsen er vistnok tydeligt begrændset og stærkt
indknebet, men paa langt nær ikke af den enorme Længde
som hos hin Art, hvorimod Pandedelen er kjendelig større,
omtrent 3 Gange bredere end Halsen.
Øieknuden ligger her neppe mere end dobbelt saa
langt fra Panderanden som fra Hovedsegmentets bagre
Rand. Den er noget ophoiet og synes, naar Dyret sees
fra Siden (Fig. 1 b), afrundet i Spidsen. Seet forfra eller
bagfra (Fig. 1 e), viser den sig noget afsmalnende mod
Enden, der er tvært afkuttet, meel Sidehjørnerne uddragne
i Fonn af smaa tandformige Fremspring. Lindserne, der
har en noget elliptisk Form, ligger omtrent ved Midten
af Øieknudens Hoide.
Snabelen (Fig. 1 a, 1 b) er stærkt forlænget, neppe
kortere end Hovedseguientet, horisontalt fortilrettet og af
den sædvanlige cylindriske Form.
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er ualmindelig spinkle og svagt
byggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og omtrent af
Snabelens Længde, Haanden adskilligt kortere, tæt haaret, og
meget smal, med forholdsvis kort Palm og stærkt
forlængede Fingre. Disse sidste (Fig. 1 e), der er kjendelig
længere end Palmen, er særdeles smale og temmelig stærkt
krummede i sit ydre Parti, endende med meget tynde
ind-boiede Spidser. Tænderne i Inderkanten er længere og
mindre tætstillede end hos de foregaaende Arter og omtrent
af ens Udseende paa begge Fingre.
Følerne i Fig. 1 f) udmærker sig ligeledes ved sin spinkle
Form og er neppe kortere end Saxlemnierne. Af Leddene
er 2det og 3die omtrent af ens Længde, hvorimod de 2
ydre Led er meget ulige i Størrelse, idet, uligt hvad
Tilfældet er hos de fleste øvrige Arter, næstsidste Led her
er betydelig, næsten dobbelt saa langt som sidste. Begge
disse Led tilsammen er noget længere end 3die Led.
De falske Fodder hos Hannen ise Fig. 1 a) er noget
mindre stærkt forlængede end hos foregaaende Art, neppe
synderlig længere end Legemet, og har 5te Led størst.
Dette Led er desuden udmærket ved Tilstedeværelsen langs
Inderkanten af en Række eiendommelige knudeformige
Udvæxter, hver forsynet med en kort, ombøiet Borste.
Endedelen (Fig. 1 g) er noget kortere end 5te Led og
har lste Led temmelig bredt ved Basis og noget
sammentrykt fra Siderne samt tæt besat med korte stive Haar,
der ligeledes er fæstede til smaa knudeformige Fremspring.
Randtoruerne paa de ydre Led (Fig. 1 h) forholder sig
noget ulige, idet de ved Enden af Leddene er grovt
saug-takkede i hele sin Længde, medens de paa Midten af
Leddene er mere lancetdannede og har 2 Par smaa Tænder
ved Basis, de øvrige Saugtakker meget brede,
pladefor-mige.
the lateral processes rather elongated and also separated by
broad intervals. The cephalic segment is considerably
shorter than in N. longitarse, scarcely longer than the 2
succeeding segments taken together. The neck is indeed
distinctly defined and greatly constricted, though not nearly
the prodigious length met with in that species, whereas
the frontal part is appreciably larger, about 3 times the
breadth of the neck.
The oculilerous tubercle in this animal lies hardly
more than twice as far from the frontal margin as from
the posterior edge of the cephalic segment. It is
somewhat elevated and, when the animal is viewed laterally
(fig. 1 b|, seems rounded at the point. Seen either
anteriorly or posteriorly (fig. 1 c), it appears tapering somewhat,
towards the end, which is transversely truncated with the
lateral corners produced as small dentiform projections.
The lenses are somewhat elliptic in form, and are located
about midway up the tubercle.
The proboscis (see fig. la, 1 b) is exceedingly
elongated, scarcely shorter than the cephalic segment, directed
horizontally forward, and of the usual cylindric form.
The chelifori (ibid.) are uncommonly slim and feeble
in structure. The scape is slender cylindrical and about
same length as the proboscis, the hand a good deal shorter,
densely covered with hair and very narrow, with relatively
short palm and greatly elongated fingers. The latter (fig.
1 e), which are appreciably longer than the palm, are
particularly slender, and rather sharply bent in the outer part,
terminating in very fine incurvate points. The teeth on
the inner edge are longer and less closely arranged than
in any of the preceding species, and are well-nigh similar
in appearance in both fingers.
The palpi (fig. 1 f), likewise distinguished by their
slender form, are but very little, if at all, shorter than the
chelifori. Of the joints, the 2nd and 3rd are about equal
in length, whereas the 2 outer ones are very unequal in
size, in so far, that the penultimate joint, unlike whatis the
case in most of the other species, is, in this animal,
considerably, indeed almost twice as long as the terminal one.
Both these joints taken together are somewhat longer than
the 3rd.
The false legs in the male (see fig. 1 a) are not
quite so prominently elongated as in the preceding species,
very little, if at all. longer than the body, and have the
5th joint largest. This joint is, moreover, characterised by
the presence along the inner edge of a series of peculiar
tuberculiforin excrescences, each of which is furnished with
a short recurvate bristle The terminal part (fig. 1 g) is
somewhat shorter than the 5th joint, with the 1st joint
rather broad at the base and somewhat compressed from
the sides, and closely beset with short, stiff hairs, which
are also secured to small tuberculiforin projections. The
marginal spines on the outer joints (fig. 1 h) vary
somewhat in character, as those at the end of the joints are
coarsely serrate throughout the whole of their length,
whereas those at the middle of the joints are more
lanceolate in form and have 2 pairs of small teeth at the base;
the rest of the denticles are very broad and lamellar.
