caput and the thorax. Ocular area very hairy and nearly 

 black, that part of it occupied by the centrals of the middle 

 and tlie front row of eyes almost in the same plane with the 

 clypeus, which is low. 



E/jes, with the exception of the somewhat elliptical laterals 

 of the middle row, round ; those of the posterior row the 

 largest, and the centrals of the middle row larger than the 

 eyes of the front row ; all placed on tubercles ; those of the 

 front row about the same distance from each other as from 

 the base of the clypeus and the centrals of the middle row ; 

 the laterals of the middle row very small, below the plane of 

 the centrals, and posited nearly half-way between them and 

 the eyes of the posterior row ; the centrals of the middle row 

 nearer to each other than to the eyes of the posterior row ; 

 the laterals of the middle row opalesque, and the rest of a dark 

 colour. The curve of the middle row is slightly directed for- 

 wards. 



Falces hairy, convex in front near the base, slightly diverg- 

 ing towards the extremities, anterior side of groove furnished 

 with a long fringe of hair and armed with four teeth (the 

 basal tooth very minute), the posterior side armed with two 

 large distant teeth, whicli are nearer the claw than those of 

 the anterior side ; claw of moderate length and strength. 



2Iaxlll(e convex, narrowest at the base, very gradually 

 increasing in breadth towards the extremities, slightly rounded 

 on the outside and in front, where there is a dense fringe, 

 somewhat inclined to the labium. . 



Labium convex, quadrate in outline, constricted at the 

 base, slightly emargiuate in front, and rather more than 

 half as long as the maxillos. 



StcrniDii round-cordate, very slightly convex, and mode- 

 rately hairy. 



Abdomen oval, convex, wider than the cephalothorax. 

 Spinners inconspicuous, somewhat laxly grouped ; superior 

 and inferior pair not differing greatly in length and strength ; 

 the central pair very small. 



The tarsi of all the legs without spines ; the four anterior 

 tibiic with 2, 2, 2, 2 spines below, and 2 at the sides ; the 

 anetatarsi of the same legs with 2, 2, 2, 2 below, and 2, 2 at 

 the sides ; tarsal claws 3, superior with fine teeth, anterior 

 one the largest ; inferior claw with one tooth. 



Palpi of moderate strength, humeral joint bent and 

 thickened towards the extremity, more hairy below than 

 above, spines 1, 1, 1, rather shorter than cubital -f radial 

 joint ; the latter longer than the former ; digital joint about 

 equal in length to cubital + radial, well armed with spines 

 and furnished with a 4-toothed claw, the anterior tooth 

 large, and the posterior very minute.
