 2 A and B. 



In the original description the following amendments should be 

 made : 



Carapace. Equal to or slightly exceeding in length metatarsi I 



and IV. 



Eyes. Anterior medians large, circular, and less than a diameter 

 from each other. Anterior laterals about H-2 diameters from the 

 anterior medians. 



Tarsi. Tarsus I with a few fine spinules down the centre. 



An additional specimen of this species is now to hand from 

 Kimberley. 1 <? (B. 4185) (Bro. J. H. Power). 



This specimen is larger than the type, and presents the following 

 variations ; the palp, tibia I and the majority of other characters, 

 however, are identical with the type. 



Colour. Carapace brownish-red ; abdomen black dorsally, legs 

 reddish distally. 



Carapace. Bearing more conspicuous setose hairs than in the type. 

 Length equal to metatarsus IV, but subequal to metatarsus and to 

 the tarsus of the 1st leg. 



Chelicera. With 5 teeth on each side of the groove. 



Legs. Metatarsus I with 2 spines down the inner side. Spinules 

 on patella III scanty and scarcely distinguishable from the stotiter 

 hairs. Spinules on patella IV confined to 3 or 4 at the base of the 



anterior band of bristles.
