Lahmm deeper tone ; roundly conical, about half length of 

 maxillae. 



Sternum colour of legs ; ovate. 



Legs yellow- ochreous ; femora + tibiae exhibit evanescent 

 olive-green basal and distal aunuli ; metatarsi of hind-pairs 

 have rather wide apical rings ; femoral joints compressed and 

 dilated, armed with 4 spines on superior surface ; patella 

 -f tibia of first leg cylindrical ; tibial joints of anterior pairs 

 have 2, 2, 2 spines beneath ; metatarsi, 2, 2 ; tibiae of third 

 and fourth, 5 ; metatarsi 2, besides apical ring. 



Palpi deep straw-yellow ; pars humeralis somewhat in- 

 crassated, about double the length of two following articles 

 together ; cubital joint campanulate ; radial of somewhat even 

 breadth, one-half length of preceding article, projects a strong 

 spine-like process on outer side, and a cluster of bristles from 

 inner ; pars digitalis exceeds humeral joitit in length ; lamina 

 ovate, brownish about margins ; moderately furnished with 

 light and dusky hairs ; genital bulb passes into a pale slate- 

 colour at apex, projects a few black hairs ; turgid, subconoid, 

 reaches back to cubital joint ; superior profile-line represents 

 a very obtuse angle. 



Abdomen elongate-oviform ; spinners prominent ; rather 

 sparingly clothed with whitish and orange-red hairs ; ground- 

 colour light yellow-ochreous, moderately flecked with irregu- 

 larly-shaped light-brown spots ; the more pronounced mark- 

 ings, which have a deeper tone, consist of a pair of inverted 

 comma-shaped figures on basal end ; two procurved, continuous, 

 transverse, arcuate chevrons — margins undulating — occur in 

 centre, and the posterior third is traversed by somewhat simi- 

 lar lines ; a series of more or less confluent oblique stripes are 

 displayed on lateral margins ; ventral region exhibits a lanceo- 

 late figure enclosed within a series of dots, terminating at 

 spinners in a large quadrate spot. 



Fevi. — Ceph.-th., long, 1-9 ; wide, 1. Abd., long, 2-1 ; 

 wide, 1-2. Legs, 4, 1, 2-3 = 3-7, 3-5, 3 mm. 



Ccphalothorax reddish-mahogany, approximating to brown 

 on margins, fuscous spots above lateral eyes ; hair armature 

 and form do not differ essentially from male's. 



Eijcs in form and position resemble male's. 



Falces lake-ochreous. 



Maxillce orange-brown, Up shade darker. 



Sternum and maxillae concolorous. 



Legs brownish-orange ; femoral -|- tibial joints have olive- 

 green basal and apical annulations, very faint on two first 

 pairs; rings on hind-pairs more pronounced; armature re- 

 sembles male's.
