New South African Spiders. 81 



metatarsus. Anterior row of eyes (viewed from above) with its 

 posterior margin forming a straight line ; the lateral eyes rather 

 small, transverse. Posterior row with its anterior margin form- 

 ing a straight line ; the median eyes slightly transverse, their 

 distance apart about their own diameter less than the distance 

 between the anterior lateral eyes and their distance from the 

 posterior lateral eyes equal to their own diameter ; the latter eyes 

 distinctly oval, scarcely larger than the medians, their distance apart 

 equal to the width of the anterior row ; distance between the 

 posterior and anterior lateral eyes about 1^ times the long diameter 

 of the latter. 



Pcdipalps with a broad band of short spines on inner side of tarsus 

 extending right to the base ; the 4-5 spines on inner side of tibia 

 short and stout ; patella not spined ; tarsus with small basal 

 patch of spinules above, the tibia without distal patch of spinules 

 above. 



Legs. Tibia of first leg equalling the metatarsus, its length 

 subequal to the width of the posterior row of eyes ; tibia with 

 a distal patch of 10-14 small spines occupying -J-f of the length of 

 the inner surface ; metatarsus with a basal patch of spinules occupy- 

 ing about i of the length of the upper side, the tibia with a slightly 

 smaller distal patch above. Third leg with about 28 spines in the 

 anterior and in the posterior band on the metatarsus; patella with 

 a dense patch of short red spinules in distal part of upper surface,! 

 the distal patch on the tibia extending over about i the dorsal length ; 

 metatarsus without apical spines below. Fourth leg with the patch 

 of red spinules on the patella very large, nearly reaching distal 

 margin ; the infero-posterior apical tuft on the metatarsus composed 

 of about 10 subequal spiniform setae arranged in a regular transverse 

 row, the under side of the metatarsus with 2-3 spines along the 

 middle ; tibia also with several spines below. 



Labium with 8 apical teeth. 



Total length 33 mm. ; length of carapace lOf , width 9i ; length 

 of metatarsus of first leg 3f ; width of ocular area 3f .
