protuberance at the anterior apical angle; those of the third pair a small protuberance at the anterior 
apical angle, with a long slender chitinous process rising just behind it; those of the fourth pair have a 
small protuberance about the middle towards the base. 
The tibia of the palpus bears a small projection on the underside near its base, and a broad trifid apophysis 
inclining towards the outer side of the segment at its apex. The lower branch of this apophysis is broad, 
concave, and rounded at its apex; the central and upper branches narrower and acutely pointed. ‘I'he 
palpal organs consist of two lobes, the basal one being produced at its apex into a stout strongly curved 
spur, with a small projection on the inner side near the apex. The other lobe occupies a position within 
the curve of the above-mentioned spur and bears two long, curved, spiniform appendages directed towards 
the base of the apical spurs.

Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6 millim. 
The colours have faded from the single specimen found in our collection. 
Coxe of all four pairs of legs plane, having no processes or conical tubercles. Tibia of the palpus three times 
longer than broad, having, in the middle of the outer side beneath, a very short blunt spur, and at its 
apex a large bifid spur, the outer branch larger, sharp, curving upwards and slightly inwards. At the 
base of this spur springs a thick tuft of stiff bristles curving upwards and forwards. The palpal organs 
have not the usual sinuous spine at their apex.

This genus resembles Anyphena, but differs in having the spiracular rima nearer to 
the genital rima, and the maxille much longer, emarginate on the outer sides, and dilate 
at their apex. ‘The posterior row of eyes is straight, or almost so, and the first pair of 
legs are longer than the fourth. The lower margin of the fang-groove bears five or six 
small teeth.
