ENNA.—TRICLARIA. 233 
formed by the hind-central pair. Each fore-lateral eye is its own diameter’s distance from the hind- 
central eye on its side. 
Legs long, laterigrade, dull brownish-yellow, immaculate, clothed with fine hairs; spines slender, moderately 
strong ; terminal tarsal claws three, the superior pair with several denticulations at the hinder part. 
Palpi moderate in length and strength, similar in colour to the legs; radial joint of a somewhat tumid form, 
longer and much stronger than the cubital, with a short, deep red-brown, slightly curved, tapering, but 
obtusely-ending, rather prominent apophysis at its extremity on the outer side; digital joint rather long, 
tapering, oval, narrower than the radial. Palpal organs neither very prominent nor complex. 
Falces dark reddish-yellow-brown ; fangs neither very long nor strong. 
Mazxille and labium similar in colour to the falces; sternum dull yellow. 
Abdomen dull brownish-yellow, marked on each side of the median line of the upperside with a broad longi- 
tudinal irregular deep brown band meeting and coalescing with a series of several strong angular bars, 
or chevrons, of the same colour as the spinners on the hinder half; along the middle of the fore part 
are two dark brown lines in a long wedge form, the point directed backwards. The sides are marked 
with some dark brown horizontal streaks. There appears to be some variation in these markings in 
different examples, the dark brown preponderating and obscuring the paler ground-colour. The under- 
side is a dingy yellow-brown, the spinners dull yellowish, and the upperside of the abdomen is covered 
with longish, prominent, slender, dark hairs. 
The female resembles the male in colours and markings. The genital aperture is well marked and of 
characteristic form.

TRICLARIA, C. L. Koch. 
Triclaria connexa, sp. n. 
Adult male, length 54 lines. 
This species is intermediate in size between 7’. extensa (anted, p. 174) and 7’. habilis (antea, p. 173), to both 
which it bears a close general resemblance. From both, however, besides size, the distinct markings of 
the legs (a mixture on the femora of longitudinal and annular markings) distinguish it readily. The 
apophysis also at the outer extremity of the radial joint of the palpus is different in form: in 7’. extensa 
it is more curved and more prominent, and its extremity has a decidedly hooked form, which is absent 
in the present species; in 7’. habilis the radial apophysis is much shorter, broader, and has a somewhat 
notched termination. The structure of the palpal organs also differs in all the three species. 
Females of various sizes, but all immature, agreed in the distinct markings on the legs.

In the description, /. ¢., of this species the legs are stated to be annulated with 
dark yellow-brown. ‘This isa mistake, arising from the belief (when the description 
was made) that several females accompanying it, in which the annulations were 
distinct, were of the same species. 1t appears to me now most probable that these 
females are of the species just before described, 7’. connexa, and that the absence of 
annulation in 7. hadilis is normal and not owing to the faded condition of the 
specimens.
