Eyes. Seen from above the anterior row is procurved ; medians 

 round, larger than the laterals and less than ~, a diameter from each 

 other and from the laterals. Posterior row very slightly wider than 

 the anterior row, and only moderately procurved ; eyes practically 

 equidistant ; medians about l diameters apart, and a diameter or 

 less behind the anterior medians ; laterals only very slightly larger 

 than medians and almost touching the anterior laterals. Median 

 area parallel-sided and slightly wider than long. All eyes surrounded 

 by a circle of black pigment, which in the anterior row and laterals 

 merges into an infuscated band prominent below the anterior medians. 



Pedipalps. Tarsus subconical ; scopular patch small but distinct ; 

 no spines on palps, but numerous stout hairs and bristles ; tarsal claw 

 strongly and densely toothed down outer side. 



Ley*. Much shorter than in the preceding species. Tarsus I short, 

 and slightly tapering distally ; under surface clothed with stout 

 bristles ; metatarsus stouter, about 1 J times as long as the tarsus, 

 and bearing '2 apical and one other spines on the lower surface, besides 

 stout setae or bristles. Tibia I with 2 spines apically on the lower 

 surface and scattered bristles ; patella I muticous ; femur I with 2 

 spines on the upper surface. Tarsus II short, slightly tapering 

 distally, and bearing short fine spines on the under surface ; meta- 

 tarsus II similar to I, about 1^ times as long as the tarsus; tibia II 

 with 1 spine in centre dorsally, and 3 small ones anteriorly on the 

 side ; patella II with '3 spiuules on anterior upper surface ; femur II 

 with 2 spines dorsally. Tarsus III with very stout dense bristles on 

 the under surface ; metatarsus III scarcely 1} times the length of the 

 tarsus ; spined apically, and with scattered spines and numerous 

 bristles on the under surface ; tibia with 4 spines on the anterior 

 surface, and with bristles and fine spines on the under surface ; patella 

 with 3 spines on the anterior surface, and 2 spines on the upper 

 surface at the anterior edge, and 1 at the posterior edge ; femur with 

 2 spines on the upper surface. Tarsus IV with numerous short spines 

 and bristles on the under surface ; metatarsus about twice as long as 

 the tarsus, and with fine spines and bristles and numerous spines 

 apically on the under surface ; tibia with 4 spines on the anterior 

 surface and 2 on the upper surface; patella with 3 spines on the upper 

 surface anteriorly and 1 posteriorly. 



Femora I, II and III bearing distally on outer surface a small 

 distinct patch of shoi't spiniform bristles. 



Sternum, coxae, etc. Sparsely covered with long stiff dark hairs. 



Vulva. See figure. 



Measurements. Total length 4 mm. ; carapace 1'75 mm. long.
