Ocular area. Width behind less tharfor just equal to the length 

 of the metatarsus of first leg and about f-of the length of the fourth 

 metatarsus ; anterior row of eyes (viewed from above) procurved or 

 with the posterior margins of the eyes in a straight line, the lateral 

 eyes strongly transverse, elongate oval ; the posterior row with the 

 anterior margins in a straight or slightly recurved line ; the median 

 eyes small and subrotund, as far apart as, or very slightly further 

 apart than, the anterior lateral eyes and distant about their own 

 diameter or slightly more from the posterior lateral eyes ; the latter 

 oval, much larger than the posterior medians, their distance apart 

 equal to or only slightly less than the width of the anterior row ; 

 distance between the posterior and anterior lateral eyes equal to 

 or a whole long diameter of the latter. 



Pedipalps with a band of about 10-14 short spines on inner side 

 of the tarsus, mostly extending up to the base ; the tibia with 2-3 

 stout spines and the patella mostly with 2-4 slenderer spines or 

 setiform spines on the inner surface ; tarsus with a basal patch of 

 22-40 minute spinules above, the tibia with a distal patch of 11-22 

 such spinules above. 



Legs. Tibia of first leg decidedly shorter than the metatarsus, its 

 length a little less than the width of the posterior row of eyes (by 

 less than the width of a lateral eye) but considerably greater than 

 the width of the anterior row ; tibia with an internal band of 5-9 

 short spines occupying the distal 1-^- of the segment, the upper side 

 with a large apical patch of minute spinules extending over | J of 

 the dorsal length ; metatarsus with a long dorsal band of such 

 spinules occupying --- of the length of the segment. Third leg with 

 13-22 spines in anterior and 22-34 in the posterior band on the 

 metatarsus ; patella with some stout short spinules along anterior 

 side and a number of slenderer ones in distal part of upper surface ; 

 patch of red dorsal spinules on tibia large, occupying nearly the 

 distal half of the dorsal length ; metatarsus without apical tuft of 

 setae below. Fourtli leg with the patch of red spinules on the patella 

 very large, extending over more than ^ (up to ) of the length of 

 the anterior surface ; the infero-posterior apical tuft on metatarsus 

 composed of 6-9 subequal spiniform setae regularly arranged in a 

 transverse row. 



Labium with 5-10 apical teeth. 



Total length 36 mm. ; length of carapace Hi, width 9f ; length 

 of metatarsus of first leg 4-^ ; width of ocular area 4. 



Nests. The nests resemble those previously described (Ann. S. A. 

 Mus., v. 3, pp. 22 and 24) in general appearance, excepting that the
