Palpi colour and armature of legs ; no claw. 



Falccs light burnt-uniber colour ; length rather exceeds 

 depth of facial space ; project perceptibh- forwards ; second 

 half somewhat attenuated and divergent ; four rather close 

 teeth on inner row ; three strong teeth on outer. 



Maxilhe- hu-ge, somewhat oval, apex rouudh' truncated, 

 slightly inclined towards labium, which is short, breadth 

 exceeds length, much everted ; colour of organs yellow-brown. 



Sternum chocolate-brown; broad-cordate, eminences op- 

 posite coxie. 



Ahdomcn oviform ; pale-gre\-. posterior half clouded with 

 slaty-black, patch of a similar colour on base. Corpus 

 vulva represents a large, brownish, transversely-wrinkled 

 cucullus, nearly as broad as long ; sides prolonged into rather 

 wide processes, concave on inner side, apices rounded, beaded ; 

 projecting from within, and rather beyond the lateral pro- 

 cesses, is a yellowish broad scape, apex rounded, beading- 

 reddish. 



A single specimen of this small species was contained in a 

 collection kindly sent me by Mr. Voss Weburcl, who captured 

 it in the Jenolan Caves. 



Fam. LYCOSIDiE.

Cycloctcuua abi/ssiji,us, sp. nov. Plate XYI., fig. 1. 



Female. — Ceph.-th.. long, 8-5; broad, 3. Abd., long, 3; 

 broad, 2. Legs, -4, 1-2-3 = 16, 15 mm. 



Cephalothorax light raw-sienna; marginal band narrow, 

 brown ; middle band sinuate fringe of dark hairs ; sparsely 

 furnished with rather coarse orange-red and black hairs ; 

 cephalothorax in length equals tibial joint of a leg of third 

 pair ; pars cephalica convex, somewhat quadrate, one-luilf 

 breadth of thorax ; pars thoracica circular, convex ; border 

 hem rather broad ; indentation reddish, long, narrow, longi- 

 tudinal ; striae shallow ; profile-contour represents a double 

 arch ; (■///7;t'z<.S' directed moderately forwards, depth about equal 

 to breadth of anterior row of eyes. 



EycH on dark rings ; anterior pair sensibly recurved, small, 

 three-fourths their breadth from each other; their diameter 

 and a quarter from median e>es of central row ; second row 

 slightly recurved, centrals large, about equal to posterior pair 

 in size, separated l)y an interval nearly equalling three-fourths 

 of an eye's breadth ; scarcely that space from laterals, which 

 are rather the smallest of the eight, have a pearl-grey lustre ; 

 eyes of third row posited on low tubercular eminences, 

 divided from median pair of second line by an interval visibly 

 exceeding their own diameter ; form with latter pair a strongly 

 recurved line.
