Urquhart. — 0)1 Neio Species of Araneae. 249 



Fern. — Ceph.-th., long, 2-4; wide, 1-7. Abd., long, 3-2; 

 ■wide, 2. Legs, 4, 1, 2, 3 = 4-6, 4-2, 4, 3 mm. Measm-edfrom 

 beneath. 



Ceplialothorax chestnut-colour, fuscous clouds ; hairs 

 white and orange-red, tolerably thick ; fringe on clypeus 

 white ; complanate ; cephalic part scarcely one-half shorter 

 than thoracic, limited by a shallow V'Shaped mark ; per- 

 ceptibly inclined, projects well over falces ; lateral margins 

 slightly compressed ; height of clypeus equals two-thirds 

 diameter of a side-eye; thoracic part moderately dilated, 

 sides abrupt. 



Anterior row of eyes moderately recurved, centrals plainly 

 closer to each other than they are to laterals, an interval 

 nearly equalling radius of a side-eye ; dorsal pair do not 

 differ essentially from fore-pair, posited somewhat further 

 a,part, so that the ocular region diverges very visibly pos- 

 teriorly ; eye-area one-third broader behind than long. 



Falces yellowish-mahogany ; somewhat slighter and shorter 

 than the pars patellaris of a front leg ; retreating. 



Maxillce, yellow-brown ; about twice length of lahium, 

 which is similar in colour, base fuscous. 



Sternum light-brown, deepening in tone about border ; oval, 

 half as wide as long. 



Legs : Femoral, genual -f tibial joints of first pairs yellow 

 mahogany-colour ; metatarsi -f tarsi yellowish ; reddish-brown 

 distal rings on penultimate article ; hind-pairs approximate 

 more to a yellowish tone ; except tarsal joints, display apical 

 annulations of a fuscous colour ; coxaB of fore-pair less than 

 breadth of lip from each other ; anterior legs most robust ; 

 femur dilated, compressed; patella -f tibia cylindrical, of 

 about equal length ; metatarsus -f tarsus much shorter and 

 slighter than two former articles ; tarsus sensibly shorter than 

 metatarsus. Hairs white, somewhat sparse ; femora spined ; 

 tibiaj of anterior pairs, 2, 2, 2 beneath, 1 side-spine ; metatarsi, 

 2, 2 inferior surface ; tibiae of third and fourth legs, 5 spines ; 

 distal ring on metatarsi. 



Palpi mahogany- colour ; hairs white; pars humeralis 

 somewhat dilated and compressed ; three following joints do 

 not differ much in length. 



Abdomen elongate-ovate, clothed with white and bright 

 orange-red hairs ; brownish stone-colour, flecked with a few 

 tolerably large brown spots, which are resolved into longi- 

 tudinal streaks on lateral borders ; on base are two sub- 

 touching light-brown elongate-ovate marks, apices directed 

 backwards ; dorsal line exhibits on centre third a rather large 

 fuscous arrow-shaped figure, apex directed forwards ; on pos- 

 terior third is a somewhat smaller hastate mark of similar 

 colour, point reaches to spinners; inferior surface faintly
