længere end det terminale Afsnit, Tarsalleddet forholdsvis
kort. Fodleddet derimod ualmindelig stort, næsten ’/, Gang
længere end Tarsalleddet og noget fortykket paa Midten,
Inderkanten bevæbnet med en tæt Rad af tynde Torner;
Endekloen omtrent halvt saa lang som Fodleddet,
temmelig kraftig: Bikløerne overordentlig smaa og rudimentære.
Legemets Længde äl/s"™; Spandvidde 48""".
Bemærkninger. Denne Art er især udmærket ved
Forholdet af det terminale Afsnit paa Gangfødderne og
navnlig ved Fodleddets stærke Udvikling, hvad der har
givet Anledning til Artsbenævnelsen. 1 Ligeledes er den
rudimentære Beskaffenhed af Bikløerne særdeles
charac-teristisk. I sin almindelige Habitus’ viser den nogen Lighed
med de med A’, grossijies beslægtede Former, men synes
dog i visse anatomiske Character at slutte sig nærmere til
de 2 følgende Arter.
Beskrivelse. Det eneste foreliggende Exemplar, der
synes at være en Hun, bar en Længde af o1/2’nm, med en
Spandvidde af 48""’. Den hører saaledes til de
middelstore Arter.
Legemets Fonn er (se PI. X, Fig. 1), om ikke
ualmindelig spinkel, saa dog kjendelig smækrere end hos
foregaaende Art, navnlig hvad de forskjellige Lemmer angaar.
Selve Kroppen (Fig. 1 a) er af sædvanligt Udseende, med
Sidefortsatserne temmelig lange og skilte ved tydelige,
skjøndt ikke meget brede Mellemrum. Hovedsegmentet er
omtrent saa langt som de 3 følgende Segmenter tilsammen
og har en tydelig og temmelig smal Hals; Pandedelen er
kun ganske svagt udvidet og neppe bredere end Kroppen
paa Midten.
Øieknuden (Fig. 1 b) er ikke meget ophøiet og viser,
forfra eller bagfra seet, 2 stærkt fremspringende
Sidehjor-ner, hvorved Enden faar Udseendet af at være noget
udrandet i Midten. Lindserne er ikke meget store og ligger
noget nærmere Enden end Basis af Øieknuden.
Snabelen (se Fig. 1 a) er af regelmæssig cylindrisk
Form og kjendelig kortere end Hovedsegmentet.
Saxlemmerne (ibid.) er forholdsvis meget smaa og
svagt byggede. Skaftet er smalt cylindriskt og mod Enden
temmelig tæt haaret. Haanden (Fig. 1 c) er betydelig
kortere end Skaftet og ligeledes ualmindelig smal, samt
tæt haaret, navnlig ved Basis af Fingrene. Disse sidste
er omtrent af Palmens Længde og, som hos foregaaende
Art. forsynede i Inderkanten med smaa ensudviklede
Tænder, og med skarpe indkrummede Spidser.
1 Denne er forsaavidt maaske noget uheldigt valgt, som man
nu iahnindelighed ved Haanden forstaar det ydre Parti af
Saxlemmerne. Jeg har imidlertid ikke troet at burde forandre den en
Gang foreslaaede Artsbetegnelse.
as the body, 2nd tibial joint narrow linear in form, about two
and a half times as long as the terminal section, tarsal joint
comparatively short, propodal joint, on the contrary,
uncommonly large, almost a half longer than the tarsal joint
and somewhat tumeficated in the middle, inner edge armed
with a dense series of thin spines, terminal claw about
half as long as the propodal joint, rather powerful; auxiliary
claws remarkably small and rudimentary. Length of body
5Vs""; extent 48™.
Bemarks. This species is especially distinguished by
the relations in the-terminal part of the ambulatory legs, and,
in particular, by the great development of the propodal joint,
which has suggested the specific designation. 1 Moreover,
the rudimentary nature of the auxiliaiy claws is especially
characteristic. In its general habitus it exhibits some
resemblance to the, with N. grossipes related forms, but
seems, however, in certain anatomical characters, to have
more in common with the 2 following species.
Description. The only specimen before me,
apparently a female, has a length of 51//"", with an extent
of 48""". It belongs therefore to the middle-sized species.
The body (see Pl. X, fig. 1), though not perhaps
exceptionally slender, is at least appreciably slimmer
than in the preceding species, more especially as regards
the different limbs. The trunk itself (fig. 1 a) has the
usual appearance, with the lateral processes rather long,
and separated by distinct, though not very wide
intervals. The cephalic segment is about as long as the
3 following segments taken together, and has a distinct
and rather narrow neck. The frontal part is but very
slightly expanded and hardly broader than the trunk in
the middle.
The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 1 b) is not very
elevated. and exhibits, viewed anteriorly or posteriorly. 2
strongly projecting lateral corners, which gives to the
extremity the appearance of being somewhat emarginate
in the middle. The lenses are not very large and lie
somewhat nearer the extremity than the base of the
oculiferous tubercle.
The proboscis (see fig. 1 a) is regular eylindric in
form and appreciably shorter than the cephalic segment.
The chelifori (ibid.) are comparatively very small
and feeble in structure. The scape is narrow-cylindric
and, towards the extremity, rather densely hirsute. The
hand (fig. 1 c) is considerably shorter than the scape and
likewise exceedingly narrow, also densely hairy, especially
at the base of the fingers. The latter are about as
long as the palm, and, as in the preceding species, are
provided on the inner edge with small, uniformly developed
teeth, and with sharp incurvated points.
1 Perhaps not the most appropriate one, the „hand" being now
generally taken to signify the outer part of the chelifori. Meanwhile
I have not seen fit to change the specific appellation originally
proposed.
