2 2 . Carapace more or less infuscated laterally and clothed with 

 black hairs, the broad yellowish median band clothed with yellow 

 hairs ; submarginal stripes indicated by a few yellowish spots or 

 almost absent ; no marginal band of white hairs present. Anterior 

 median eyes generally with their lower edges slightly lower than the 

 line joining the upper edges of the anterior lateral eyes, the latter 

 eyes a little nearer to the edge of the carapace than to the eyes of 

 the second row ; posterior quadrangle a little more transverse than 

 in A. albiventre E. Sim., the eyes of the second row also relatively 

 larger, considerably larger than the posterior eyes. 



Abdomen coloured much as in albiventre and clothed with similar

 yellow or testaceous stripe bordered by black anteriorly, and marked 

 with a number of transverse, triangular, black marks and lines more

 less entirely blackened ; the ventral surface pale yellowish, rarely 

 with a few dark spots towards the sides. Vulva (pi. viii., fig. 1) with 

 well-developed, prominent, median lobe, whose hind margin is trun-

 lobes not produced backwards.
