of an anterior central eye ; transversely wi-inkled, yellow- 

 brown, base dark. 



MaxillcB somewhat quadrate, slightly rounded. Labium 

 oval, broader than long ; organs yellowish, base dark, lips 

 darkest. 



Sternum somewhat ovate, chocolate-brown. 



Abdomen oviform, projects over base at cephalothorax ; mode- 

 rately convex above, rugose, black, sparsely-clothed with orange 

 and white papillfeform hairs ; spinners long, bright - brown. 

 Epifiyne moderately prominent, large, transverse oval, centrally 

 divided by a broadish keel, fluted margins, within concavities, 

 terminate on anterior side in dark spiral processes. 



Male. — Ceph. th., long, 1*5. Abd., long, 1-2. 



Cephalothorax of male does not differ essentially from female's 

 in form- —slightly broader — or colour. 



Legs 1-2 strong, femoral joints applanate ; 1 pair stoutest, 

 genua and tibi» strong, former article nearly equals latter in 

 length ; metatarsi and tarsi about equal. 



Palpi brownish, few white hairs ; humeral joint strong, 

 three-fourths length of palpus ; cubital short, broadest at its 

 articulation with radial joint, which is somewhat cupuliform, 

 projects on outer side, a fine-pointed, curved, black apophysis ; 

 digital joint large, oviform, yellowish, convex and hairy exter- 

 nally, bulb large, somewhat conical, apex directed backwards, 

 dull orange-red, short black spine-like apophysis projects down- 

 wards and outwards from fore-part. 



Abdomen projects rather over cephalothorax, and is more 

 pointed at either end than female's ; red mahogany hue, clouded 

 with dark-brown, sparsely clothed with papillfeform hairs. 



The cephalothorax in some female specimens has a red- 

 mahogany hue, clouded with black-brown ; abdomen mottled 

 with yellowish-brown and dark-brown. 



Captured on rocks about road-cuttings ; Waiwera, A.T.U. 



Att2is bimaculosus, sp. nov. 



Female. — Ceph. th., long, 2 ; broad, 1-5. Abd,, long, 2-5; 

 broad, 1-3. Legs, 4, 1, 2, 3. 



Cepfialothorax yellow-amber colour, two black spots on caput, 

 rarely absent ; few erect hairs ; median fovea circular, shallow, 

 contour at profile rises from thoracic junction at an angle of 45°, 

 slight indentation at fovea, slope across caput, which projects 

 forwards ; clypeus in lieight is equal to rather more than radius 

 of a fore-lateral eye, yellowish hairs about eyes and clypeus, 

 directed somewhat centrally. 



Eyes on large black spots, anterior row curved, nearly half 

 radius of lateral eye apart ; dorsal eyes form with fore-laterals, 

 which they equal in size, a quadrilateral figure, whose trans- 

 verse side is greatest.
