of first leg and about f or more of the length of the metatarsus of 

 fourth leg. Anterior row of eyes (seen from above) with its posterior 

 margin forming a slightly recurved line, the lateral eyes large, trans- 

 versely oval ; the posterior row markedly recurved, the median eyes 

 large, oblique, slightly larger than the anterior medians, their distance 

 apart distinctly exceeding the distance between the anterior lateral 

 eyes and their distance from the posterior lateral eyes less than i 

 their own diameter ; the lateral eyes oval, almost equalling or slightly 

 smaller than the posterior medians, their distance apart subequal to 

 the width of the anterior row ; distance between the posterior and 

 anterior lateral eyes subequal to the long diameter of the latter. 



Pcdipalps with a small distal group of about 4 spines on inner 

 side of tarsus and a single apical spine on inner side of tibia ; patella 

 not spined ; basal patch of red spinules on tarsus occupying -J or 

 more of the dorsal length, the tibia with tiny distal patch above. 



Legs. Tibia of first leg slightly longer than the metatarsus, its 

 inner surface with a distal patch of 8-11 small spines occupying ^ 

 or less of the length ; basal patch of spinules on metatarsus long, 

 occupying quite f of the dorsal length ; the distal patch on the tibia 

 small, occupying about 1 of the length of the dorsal surface. Third 

 leg with 15-16 spines in both anterior and posterior band on the 

 metatarsus ; patella with a small patch of spinules in distal part of 

 upper surface ; the distal patch on the tibia occupying less than ^ of 

 the dorsal length ; metatarsus without apical spines below. Fourth 

 leg with 7-9 spines on the distal half of the inner surface of the 

 tibia ; infero-posterior tuft on metatarsus composed of 10-12 subequal 

 spiniform setas regularly arranged in a transverse row.
