248 F. P. SMITH ON ANOLIA HANCOCKII, A SPIDER NEW TO SCIENCE. 



Ocular area very small, compared with the width of the 

 caput. 



Eyes eight in number, arranged in two rows. Anterior row, 

 viewed from in front, nearly straight, convexity directed down- 

 wards ; eyes equidistant, separated by considerably less than the 

 diameter of a central eye ; centrals very slightly smaller than 

 laterals. Posterior row, viewed from above, moderately curved, 

 convexity directed backwards ; eyes equidistant, separated by 

 considerably more than the diameter of a central eye ; centrals 

 slightly smaller than laterals ; between each central and the 

 adjacent lateral is a curved bristle. Central ocular area slightly 

 longer than broad, narrower in front than behind, but not greatly 

 so. Lateral eyes in contact, equal in size, placed upon slight 

 prominences. 



Falces very large and divergent, more than twice the height of 

 the clypeus ; basal joint furnished on its outer surface with 

 numerous granules, and also a very finely striate stridulating area ; 

 on its anterior face, near the middle and towards its inner side, 

 is a very prominent denticule, provided with two strong bristles, 

 one lateral and one terminal. Fang-groove very wide and deep ; 

 superior edge with four small teeth, the one farthest from the 

 base of the fang being the largest, the rest about equal in size; 

 inferior edge strongly chitinised and furnished with three large 

 curved teeth and. at the base of the fang, a rounded chitinous 

 projection. Fang highly developed. 



Maxillae long, about three times the length of the labium, 

 furnished with several conspicuous bristles, very broad at point 

 of insertion of palpus, beyond that almost parallel, inclined 

 somewhat towards each other in front of the labium ; anterior 

 extremity greatly produced externally and terminating in a 

 sharp point bearing a long bristle. 



Labiv/m almost quadrate, its anterior edge, bent outwards and 

 bearing a row of hairs. 



Sternum wider than long, terminating posteriorly between the 

 hind-coxae, where it is truncated but not greatly inflected. 



I'alpus : trochanter with a rounded protuberance beneath ; 

 femur long, parallel, and much curved ; patella long, its 

 extremity produced below, forming a sharp, conical projection ; 

 tibia long, with a small apophysis; tarsus very small; palpal 

 organs of very simple construction.
