men, having three equally distanced serrations at the outside border ; at 

 the second tooth-like lateral projection the band divides longitudinally and 

 is continued to the apex as three pairs of small round spots. The two 

 lateral branches run close to the sides only a short distance backward and 

 are then broken up each in a row of three larger spots. The under side 

 of the abdomen is pale gray, with two small black spots at the base of the 

 inferior spinnerets. 



Legs sparsely covered with a long and soft pubescence, which is par 

 ticularly long at the underside of metatarsi and tarsi but not dense enough 

 to form a scopula ; the two anterior pairs of legs without spines, except 

 ing a spinous bristle on femur I at the inner side near apex ; femur III 

 and IV with a few scattered bristles. Patella, tibia and metatarsus of 

 these legs covered with short spines all around. Tarsi III and IV with 

 out spines. Tarsal claws with from six to eight small teeth. Byes 

 grouped close together, occupying less than the whole middle third of 

 anterior cephalic region. Coxae IV as long as the width of sternum, 

 coxae I longer. 



nov. genus. 



Cephalothorax long, rather narrow, anteriorly two-thirds of the width 

 of thorax ; cephalic part high, very distinct and rounded. Clypeus trun 

 cate, median fissure very short. 



Eyes 8 in two rows, anterior row a little shorter than the posterior ; 

 both rows slightly procurved when seen from above ; when viewed from 

 the front the posterior row is very much procurved. The A. M. E. the 

 largest, subcontiguous ; distance between them and the A. i,. K. equals 

 the diameter of the latter. Eyes of posterior row subequal, the median 

 closer together than they are from the lateral. 



Mandibles perpendicular, moderately long, as thick as femur I. Claw 

 small. 



Maxilla triangular, longer than their basal width, strongly inclining 

 over the labium. 



Labium subtriangular, higher than its basal width, rounded at tip. 



Sternum broadly oval, nearly as broad as long. 



Palpi of female with a four-toothed claw and a horny groove at the 

 tip of the tarsal joint, beneath the claw. 



Abdomen small, oblong oval, smooth and narrow. Only two long and 

 cylindrical spinnerets (the superior), the others aborted and only indi 

 cated by tufts of long hairs. 



Legs 4. 3. i. 2, short, slender, with three tarsal claws. Anterior leg 

 not thicker than the others. 



Indian name for spider.
