to or even slightly smaller than the posterior laterals, and distant 

 from them by about an eye's diameter or less ; the area formed by 

 the posterior median and anterior lateral eyes distinctly, sometimes 

 only very slightly, narrower behind than in front ; distance between 

 the posterior and anterior lateral eyes considerably exceeding the 

 long diameter of the latter ; the distance between the former pair of 

 eyes also distinctly and generally considerably exceeding the width 

 of the anterior row of eyes. 



Pedipalps with a band of 11-18 short, close-set spines along the 

 whole length of the inner side of the tarsus, and an internal row of 

 2-4 (rarely only one) stout spines on the tibia ; tarsus with a tiny 

 basal patch of 10-20 minute spinules above, the tibia with a tiny 

 apical group of 2-8 such spinules above. 



Legs. Length of tibia of first leg at least equal to that of the 

 metatarsus, and very slightly (large ? ) or more considerably 

 (smaller ? ? ) exceeding the width of the anterior row of eyes, but 

 always decidedly less than the width of the posterior row ; tibia with 

 an internal band of 7-20 spines, occupying the distal third at least, 

 the upper side with a tiny apical patch of minute spinules ; metatarsus 

 with a tiny basal patch of spinules above, occupying T V--j of the 

 length. Second leg with a broad band of spines on outer surface of 

 tarsus and 4-12 spines on inner surface of tibia. Third leg with 0-3 

 posterior and a number of distal anterior spines on the tarsus, 16-23 

 spines in the anterior and posterior bands on the metatarsus, a 

 number of distal spines on each side of the tibia, and a band of 11 or 

 more stout spines on the anterior side of the patella ; the latter also 

 with a number of slenderer distal spines and spinules above (quite 

 absent in leipoldti} ; metatarsus with an apical patch of spines or 

 setae below. Fourth leg with a number of anterior spines on the 3 

 distal segments ; the anterior patch of red spinules on the patella 

 very large, extending over more than -| and up to f of the length of 

 the anterior side ; infero-posterior apical tuft of metatarsus composed 

 of 4-9 similar spiniform setae arranged in a transverse row, as in 

 leipoldti. 



Labium with 4-8 apical teeth. 



Measurements of large 5 . Total length 36 ; length of carapace 

 11'9, width 10-g- ; length of metatarsus of first leg 4 ; width of ocular 

 area 5. 



$ . Colour. Carapace dark brown, the cephalic region and the 

 granules black ; cheliceras brown ; abdomen black, only the genital 

 segment below, the lung-books and the spinners pale yellowish ; pedi- 

 palps and 2 anterior pairs of legs black, but their tarsi, the distal part
