with 2 spines apically on under surface ; IV with 4 apically and' 

 1 lower down on under surface ; calamistrum very faint, the bristles 

 being only just distinguishable from the hairy clothing of the leg. 

 Tarsi clothed as in D. kannemeyeri. 



Tarsal claws'of 4th leg with 5-6 subequal teeth. 



Pedipalps. Palpal organ as in fig. 7 A. 



Measurements. Total length 9'5 mm. Carapace 4 mm. long, 

 3 mm. wide. 



? . Colour. In spirits carapace is dark red, chelicera reddish- 

 black ; the legs are brown, the anterior ones being redder and darker 

 distally. Abdomen dull testaceous, and clothed with moderately long 

 dark hairs. Sternum, coxae, etc., syncolorous with the legs; labium 

 and coxae of pedipalps darker and redder. When dry the carapace 

 is seen to be covered with long upstanding and shorter more appressed 

 dai'k olivaceous hairs, which have brownish tinge ; hairs on abdomen 

 are brown to reddish-brown ; similarly with hairs on legs. 



Carapace. Equal in length to patella, tibia, metatarsus, and 

 %-\ tarsus of the 1st leg, and to patella, tibia and |- metatarsus of 

 IVth leg. Width equal to patella, tibia and \-\ metatarsus, and to 

 tibia, metatarsus and i tarsus of 1st leg ; also reaches from fovea 

 to about the centre of posterior median eyes. Surface faintly 

 punctate. Cephalic portion well raised above thoracic, and very 

 slightly arched. 



Eyes. Posterior medians 1A-2 diameters apart and 3 diameters 

 from anterior laterals ; seen from in front anterior medians have their 

 centres above a line joining the lower margins of posterior medians ; 

 latter at least 4 times the area of the former. Lateral ocular area 



3 times as wide as long. 



Sternum. Twice as long as wide, and slightly depressed anteriorly. 



Chelicera. With no bristles, but with fine hairs around fang and 

 groove. 



Legs. Both metatarsi III and IV without spines apically on 

 under surface. 



Vulva. Similar to D. colsoni (Plate XXIX, fig. 4). Central 

 tongue broader, lateral pits less anterior in position. 



Measurements. Total length 16 mm. ; carapace 5'5 mm. long, and 



4 mm. wide, i. e. ratio 1*4: 1. 



In the largest specimen (length 17'5 mm., carapace 6'1 and 4 mm.) 

 hairs on carapace and abdomen are much redder, and legs are longer 

 relatively to carapace ; in other specimens from Hanover (B 1498) 

 hairs on abdomen and carapace have no reddish tinge but are dark 

 olivaceous ; otherwise proportions and vulva are much the same.
