less than their own diameter apart ; anterior row of eyes considerably 

 narrower than the second row, procurved, the medians slightly larger. 

 Gliclicercs, covered with fiery red and yellow hairs in front and with 

 3 strong teeth in lower margin, the 2 distal ones subequal. Upper 

 surface of abdomen divided into 3 blackish grey and blackish brown 

 areas by 2 longitudinal yellow lines, which extend with interruptions 

 to hind end of body but converge and unite anteriorly, the posterior 

 part of the upper surface with a series of transverse, angularly 

 undulate bars, bordered posteriorly by white hairs and extending 

 across the median dark band and generally also across the 2 

 yellow T stripes ; the anterior half of the median band strongly con- 

 stricted just behind its middle, the portion before the constriction 

 cuneate, strongly narrowed in front ; the lateral bands black at 

 anterior ends. Under side of abdomen black. Median bar of vulva 

 narrowed behind, about 1-^-1^ times as long as the transverse bar, 

 the cavity on each side long, slightly wider than the median bar, and 

 about 2^3 times as long as wide. Legs reddish yellow to reddish, 

 the femora infuscated in parts ; tibia IV with broad black band at 

 apex and base below, I-III not banded, or III also blackened at 

 apex and base. Tarsi, metatarsi, and tibiae of first 2 pairs of legs 

 scopulate below ; tarsi III and IV with narrow scopula on each 

 side ; metatarsi III and IV thinly scopulate below and more thickly 

 so at the sides. Basal spines in metatarsus I not or scarcely reaching 

 the mesial spines. 



3 3 Colour much as in the $ ; tibia of first 2 pairs of legs equally 

 clothed all round with pale appressed hairs, but without differentiated 

 scopula below ; metatarsi III and IV with scopula in the distal 

 half only.

A rather rare species, somewhat larger than L. darlingi, Poc., 

 which occurs abundantly in the same locality and very closely 

 resembles schreincri in colour and structure. In the specimens of 

 darlingi from the same locality the dark median band is relatively 

 broader and more sharply and evenly defined on each side, and the 

 anterior half of the band is only slightly or not at all constricted 

 behind its middle, the whole anterior half, therefore, forming a 

 larger cuneate mark. One, at least, of the specimens of schreincri 

 was taken from a nest provided with a movable lid, like that of 

 L. domicola, Sim., which occurs abundantly in the same neigh- 

 bourhood.
