what abruptly dilated, round-pointed ; curve over labium, 

 which has a reddish hue ; oval, three-fourths length of maxillae. 



Sternum has the ochraceous tone of coxse ; acute-oval. 



Legs brownish-yellow ; tibial joints of first and second 

 pairs deeper shade ; metatarsi and tarsi red-chestnut ; hairs 

 black, erect, moderately thick ; thighs well armed with bristle- 

 like spines ; tibiae of first and second 1, 1 inferior aspect ; 

 metatarsi of second legs 2 spines near base ; of first, ap- 

 parently only 1 ; metatarsal and tarsal scopula well developed ; 

 spines on posterior pairs stronger and more numerous. 



Palpi resemble legs in colour and armature. 



Abdomen elongate-oviform, base somewhat squarely trun- 

 cated, projects a dense patch of black hairs ; fairly well clothed 

 with erect black, and adpressed, fine golden hairs reflecting 

 pinkish-blue shades ; integument slaty-grey, bluish metallic 

 reflections ; specific pattern on anterior half consists of an 

 acutely-oval figure nearly enclosed by dusky, undulating lines ; 

 posterior half occupied by a large broad-oval, dusky spot, 

 almost enclosing an acute-crenate, lanceolate mark of the 

 normal ground-colour. Ventral region of a duller shade ; 

 spinners yellowish. Vulva bright-ochreous, shaded with chest- 

 nut ; represents a rather large, subpyriform depression, bounded 

 by a turgid costa ; area intersected by a narrow septum, which 

 is somewhat dilated between the superior pair of foveas ; 

 inferior pair occur at the fore-end, and are separated from 

 septum by an interval about equal to its own breadth.

Ceplialothorax ochraceous, speckled over cephalic region 

 and between radiating depressions with minute olivaceous 

 dots; medial streak slender; sparingly clothed, mostly over 

 caput, with short, whitish hairs ; oval ; moderately compressed 

 beyond coxae of first pair of legs ; pars cephalica roundly trun- 

 cated; height of chjpcns barely equals diameter of a fore- 

 central eye ; thoracic groove red, sharp ; radial striae well 

 defined ; contour of profile ascends from petiole at an angle of 

 55°, falls with a perceptible curve to frontal margin. 



Posterior row of eyes procurved, do not differ essentially in 

 size, distributed at nearly equal distances ; centrals placed on 

 dark, oval spots ; represent with fore-pair a trapezoid nar-
