shaped mark in centre, large flecks of latter colour beneath 

 branchial opercula, and close to spinners, which are short. 

 Ejngyne represents a yellowish, transversely wrinkled, cucullate 

 rnembranous projection, depressed above, sides abrupt, mar- 

 gins beaded, centrally produced above into a semi-oval dark- 

 margined lip, whose apex is prolonged into a segmented 

 vermiform process, nearly equal to lip in length. 



Male.—Ce^h. th., long, 5 ; broad, 3-5. Abd., long, 4-5; 

 broad, 3-2. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3 = 17, 15, 13, 9 mm. 



Cephalothorax light mahogany colour ; hairs sparse, yellow- 

 ish ; moderately depressed, constricted at caput, which projects 

 over falces ; ocular eminence prominent, somewhat oblique ; 

 angular depression in centre of caput; median indentation 

 longitudinal, dark colour, normal grooves rather faint ; profile 

 line formsa slight curve from thoracic junction to occiput. 



Posterior central eyes separated from anterior centrals by a 

 space about equal to their diameter, rather closer to one another 

 than are the latter pair ; lateral eyes placed within a slight 

 concavity at angle of caput, fore-eye rather larger than posterior, 

 separated by an interval equal to radius of anterior eye. 



Legs yellowish, reddish-brown annulations ; armature sparse 

 light hairs, numerous strong spines, yellowish, base brown ; 

 coxffi of 1st pair projects a short curved process ; 1-2 much 

 the stoutest, femora clouded with chocolate-brown ; tibite of 

 2nd pair tumid, 7 stout dark spines at extremity ; superior 

 tarsal claws— 1st pair, 10 comb-teeth ; inferior claw, 2 short 

 close teeth. 



Palpi yellowish, humeral joint short, stout, strong tuft of 

 long yellowish bristles project from near centre of inferior 

 surface ; cubital joint about half length of humeral, some- 

 what spathulate, broad, projects from apex a long, strong 

 bristle ; radial joint short, produced on outer side into a large, 

 yello\yish, huear-oval process ; digital joint large, oval, at apex 

 of hairy convexities — which are directed towards each other — 

 there are prominent, somewhat conical tubercles, base of con- 

 vexities produced on outer side into a long, stout, black-brown 

 apophysis, sharply bent inwards at extremity ; bulb has rich 

 red and yellow - brown tints ; on crown of bulb is a black 

 tumid crescent-shaped eminence, centrally constricted into acute 

 points ; beneath the convex transversely striated upper fold 

 are a series of dark lobes, mostly pointed, concave above, apices 

 directed forwards ; near apex is a dark pointed apophysis, which 

 projects forwards ; about centre of bulb, on lower side, is a short, 

 stout apophysis, curved backwards. 



Falces vertical, conical, yellowish. 



MaxillcF somewhat spathulate, about as broad as long,
