New Arachnida. 39 



??(?<?. Carapace coloured and marked exactly as in lativittata, 

 n. sp. Posterior median eyes smallish, their distance apart at least 

 equalling or even slightly exceeding their own diameter ; the anterior 

 row slightly procurved, as wide as or slightly wider than the second 

 row, the median eyes slightly larger than the laterals. Abdomen 

 ahove and at the sides blackish grey to nearly black, with some scat- 

 tered black dots ; upper surface with a narrow, median, yellow stripe, 

 which is tranversely dilated at its anterior end like a T and provided 

 in the posterior of its length with paired lateral branches directed 

 obliquely outwards and backwards ; the stripe and its lateral branches 

 bordered with deep black; a black spot also on each side of the 

 anterior dilation. Under surface, and frequently also the lower part 

 of the sides, pale yellowish, marked as in lativittata. Vulva, legs, 

 cliclicercB, and sternum as in lativittata, the coxae often with infuscate 

 markings. Legs with the basal spines on metatarsus I not or only 

 just reaching the mesial spines. 



Measurements. $ 3 5-6J mm., $ ? 6-9 mm. in length. 



This species so closely resembles lativittata that practically the 

 only difference between the two is the substitution of a broad, 

 straight-edged yellow band in the latter in the place of the tree- 

 shaped band on the abdomen of the former.

Types. 19 ? ? and 7 $ $ (No. 9428 ; September, October) from 

 Hanover. 



$ ? . General colour above and below pale yellow to ochraceous. 

 Carapace, only slightly infuscated on the 2 darker bands, but provided 

 here with black hairs ; the cephalic portion of the median yellow 

 band strongly constricted at its hind end, provided with a pair of 

 ( )-shaped lines, which are generally fused anteriorly (sometimes 

 almost entirely) with the dark lateral bands but sometimes reduced 

 to a pair of posterior spots or even almost absent ; the thoracic 

 portion of the yellow median band constricted near hind end of 

 median stria and thence parallel-sided or even widened again 

 posteriorly ; infuscate lateral border generally absent or indistinct, 

 the margin then broadly yellow. Posterior median eyes smallish, 

 very slightly less than their own diameter apart ; the anterior row at 

 least as wide as or, if anything, slightly wider than the second row, 

 the lower margins in a slightly recurved or nearly straight line, the 

 median eyes largest. Abdomen with a broad, pale yellow, uninter- 

 rupted median line above, which is narrower posteriorly and ex-
