transverse furrows; eyespots not evident; setae clavodentate.Tergites 1-10 and sternites 4-10 divided;surfaces of tergites finely granulate to scaly, sternitessmooth; dorsal setae clavodentate, ventral setaedenticulate. Tergal chaetotaxy 15:16:15:18:18:20:18:17:16:14:12:2; sternal chaetotaxy ?:(2)18(2):(2)14(2):22:21 :22:21 :20: 16: 12:2; presence of tactilesetae on tergite and sternite 11 uncertain, as lateralsetae are missing. Genitalia large and heavy but otherwisenot describable, as the abdomen has beenseparated from the cephalothorax in this specimenand the genital region is damaged.Chelicera with 4 setae on hand, all acuminate, esshort, less than Ih as long as bs; flagellum of 3 setae;both galeae are broken from the movable fmgersof this specimen.Palp (Fig. 23) more slender than that of N. stercoreus:trochanter 1.95, femur 3.05, tibia 2.4, andchela (without pedicel) 3.15 times as long as broad;hand (without pedicel) 1.65 times as long as deep;movable finger 1.09 times as long as hand. Surfacesfinely granulate, except chelal fingers smooth; mostsetae short, denticulate. Trichobothria as shown inFig. 24; on movable finger the distance between tand st is about 2 times the distance between b andsb; on fixed fmger est lies distad of middle, nearlyat same level as ist; eb, esb, ib and isb close togetheron base of finger, at or distal to level of lastmarginal tooth. Fixed fmger with 45 and movablefinger with 47 cusped marginal teeth; each fingerwith 5-7 internal and external accessory teeth.Venom apparatus well developed in movable finger,with nodus ramosus midway between trichobothria tand st; only a short venedens and vestigial venomduct in fixed finger.Legs rather slender; leg IV with entire femur 4.22324Figs. 23-24.-Neoallochemes(?) incertus, new species, holotype male: 23, left palp, dorsal view; 24, right chela, lateral view(darkened areoles are underneath).145
