rather long lake-coloured process, extremities sharply bent 

 forwards ; bulbus genitalis consists chiefly of curved lobes or 

 cutical folds of various ochraceous shades, clouded with 

 fuscous-lake ; most noticeable — anterior lobe ^Yrinkled, ter- 

 minates in a very conspicuous crimson conoid projection, 

 directed backwards, subtouching the orange - yellow some- 

 what oval fore-end of posterior lobe ; lower half of anterior 

 lobe divided from upper by a transverse fold, curves backwards 

 and upwards ; base of bulbus displays a large fuscous-lake 

 membrane, extremities free, lower tapering, upper outward- 

 curved, furcate. 



Abdomen oviform, depressed ; sides abrupt, longitudinally 

 wrinkled, studded with small pits in vertical lines ; humeral 

 tubercles small, obtusely-conical, directed outwards ; first row 

 of posterior tubercles slightly developed, central strongest ; 

 tubercle of second row somewhat prominent ; integument 

 metallic stone - colour or dull silver, few well - defined olive- 

 brown clouds ; folium sensibly suffused with brown ; basal 

 and posterior extremities fade awtiy into ground-colour; 

 margins brown, acute-crenate ; six pairs of impressed spots, 

 four central brown, conspicuous, represent a trapezoid fully as 

 long as broad in front, widest behind ; anterior set form a 

 trapezoid relatively and comparatively broader; posterior 

 foveas represent a quadrilateral figure ; ventral region occupied 

 by a fuscous shield, centrally traversed by a light bar. 



Single example of this rather handsome species was con- 

 tained in Mr. H. Suter's flastwell collection.

Cephalotliorax pitch-black, bluish-purple reflections ; some- 

 what sparingly clothed with light and erect black hairs ; 

 fringe of former round margin ; broad-ovate, lateral margin of 

 caput sharply constricted ; lateral index of cephalic part 

 slightly exceeds one-half facial ; depth of clypeiis barely equals 

 intervening space between fore-centre eyes ; thoracic groove 

 longitudinal, deep; radial and caput striae well defined ; con- 

 tour of profile visibly curved over eye-region, slopes sensibly 

 to verge of posterior incline, which dips abruptly at an angle 

 of 60°. 



Anterior row of eyes procurved, median pair sensiblj' larger 

 than laterals, trifle further from them than they are from each 

 other ; eyes of second line large, interspace between them 

 scarcely one-fourth wider than their diameter ; dorsal eyes
