brown ; linear-oval, curve over labium, which is somewhat 

 oval, rather broader than long, everted, more than half length 

 of maxillte ; chocolate-brown, apex pale. 



Sternum dark chocolate-brown ; covered with small 

 papillae ; cordate, nearly as broad as long. 



Abdomen oviform, profile-line represents a semicircle, rising 

 abruptly from base of cephalothorax ; stone-colour ; folium 

 terminates a little above spinners, its dark-brown, coarse, 

 irregular, somewhat acute-crenate margins enclose a stone- 

 coloured leaf-like space, which has in some examples two 

 angular brown bars on posterior half, apices directed forwards ; 

 fore-part of pale area and margins of folium widen out on 

 base ; ventral surface brown, margin dark. Corpus vuLvcb 

 moderately tumid, inferior (anterior) margin prolonged into a 

 short, broad scape, fore-end circular, concave on upper side ; 

 superior margin curves inwards, forming a short septum, be- 

 neath the scapus vulvae, which intersects two ovate foveas ; 

 beneath the superior tumid margin is a narrow, transverse,, 

 lip-like projection. 



iiaZe.— Ceph. th., long, 1. Abd., long, 1. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 

 3 = 8, 5, 3-5, 3 mm. 



Cephalothorax mahogany-brown; rugose; oval, lateral mar- 

 ginal constrictions at caput slight, contour of profile resembles 

 female's ; height of clypeus rather less than one-half depth of 

 facial space. 



Eyes, posterior row procurved, central pan- their radius 

 apart, rather more thaii their diameter from laterals ; anterior 

 row recurved, median pair placed on a dark, moderate pro- 

 minence, separated by an interval equal to one-third of an 

 eye's diameter, scarcely their breadth and a half from posterior- 

 centrals, visibly more than their diameter from side-eyes of 

 same row ; latei'als seated obliquely on moderate tubercular^ 

 eminences, nearly contiguous. 



Legs reddish-brown, except basal half of femora and coxae, 

 which have a dull straw-colour ; 3-4 brown annuli at articu- 

 lations of tibise and fore-end of metattirsi ; armature, sparse, 

 fine hairs ; one long bristle-like spine on genual, two on tibial 

 joints. 



Palpi pale straw-colour ; humeral joint about one-fourth 

 longer than cubital and radial together ; cubital joint rather 

 narrow at base, slightly exceeds penultimate article in length ; 

 latter joint cyathiform, furnished with black bristles ; pars 

 digitalis reddish-brown ; large, globose ; laminae moderately 

 hairy, directed towards each other, circular, convex, project in 

 front, a dark, stout, curved process, directed forwards and 

 downwards ; laminae indented beneath processes, display 

 above, on outer side, a remarkable lunulate indentation ; 

 bulbus genitalis complex, viewed laterally, circular, some-
