Urquhart. — On new Species of Araneidea. 135 



former article one-third longer than two latter together ; 

 cubital joint somewhat linear, radial rather shorter than 

 cubital, viewed from above somewhat cup-shaped ; digital 

 joint large, globose ; springing from near articulation of joint 

 is a brownish, irregular, triangular, semi-detached process, at 

 extremity nearly as broad as long, fore-angles prolonged into 

 two apophyses, outer black-brown, stout, pointed ; inner 

 longest, membranous, lake-brown, concave within ; side-face 

 of bulb spiral, glossy, outer circle broad, pale ; inner circle 

 red-mahogany ; beneath the dark-brown, membranous, free 

 apex is a black, pointed process ; lamina bulbi broad-ovate, 

 placed rather beneath bulbus, hairs rather sparse. 



Falces brownish-yellow ; conical, project moderately at 

 base in front, directed rather forwards, exceed humeral joint 

 of palpus in length. 



Maxilla yellowish-brown ; fore-part broad, rounded, in- 

 clined towards labium, which is dark chocolate-brown ; oval 

 one-third broader than long, strongly everted. 



Sternum cordate ; yellow-brown, dark margin. 



Abdo7nen oviform ; ground-colour umber-brown, series of 

 pinkish, purple-tinted flecks on either side of dorsal band, 

 which is less defined than females, dark-brown near spinners ; 

 ventral surface brownish. 



Female. — Ceph. th., long, 1; broad, 1. Abd., long, 2-1; 

 broad, 1-8. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3 = 6-5, 5, 4, 3 mm. 



Cephalothorax yellowish-brown, dorsal band and marginal 

 zone olive-brown, former commences at thoracic fovea, bifur- 

 cating above junction of caput, to posterior eyes; glabrous; 

 oval, moderately compressed forwards; pars cephalica convex, 

 rounded, lateral index about equal to space between a hind- 

 lateral eye and the hind-central furthest from it ; fovea 

 somewhat oval, caput gi-oove and radial strips moderately 

 defined ; profile-line rises slightly across ocular area, some- 

 what level to limit of caput, slopes moderately to base ; 

 clypeus vertical, height rather exceeds diameter of a fore- 

 lateral eye. 



Eyes on black eminences, laterals most prominent ; pos- 

 terior row moderately recurved, of about equal size, nearly 

 equidistant, central eyes separated by an interval equal to 

 their diameter and a quarter, about one-third less than their 

 space from fore-centrals ; anterior row recurved, median 

 pair about one-third size of laterals, scarcely their breadth 

 apart, about that interval from side-eyes ; interspace be- 

 tween laterals rather exceeds that between posterior median 

 pair. 



Legs shade lighter than cephalothorax, rather faint annu- 

 lations on tibias and metatarsi ; moderately slender ; black 

 hairs, long, slender spines.
