 median bar placed far behind, short, with a small fovea on each 

 side ; posterior outer corners of plate with a dark mark bearing a

Chelicerce with yellow hairs in front ; the apex with 3 subequal 

 inferior teeth. 



Legs pale ochraceous, the femora with some faint infuscate 

 marks, the fourth tibia only faintly darkened at apex below ;

 date area by a smaller constriction ; lateral margins yellow ; the two 

 brown bands black at posterior end. Anterior row of eyes slightly 

 narrower than the second row and slightly procurved, the median 

 eyes very distinctly larger than the laterals and distant about their 

 own diameter from the posterior medians ; posterior median eyes 

 large, their distance apart scarcely exceeding ^ their diameter. 



CJielicerce with pallid hairs in front and 3 inferior teeth at apex, 

 the distal tooth being smallest.
