rises, not very abruptly, from thoracic junction, forms a low 

 arch across caput. Cli/peus projects forwards, mdentation 

 below eyes, in height equals depth of facial space. 



Eyes on black spots, posterior row procurved, median eyes 

 rather less than their diameter apart, more than their breadth 

 from hiud-laterals ; anterior row strongly recurved, central pair 

 black, rather smallest of eight, separated by a space equal 

 to their radius, more than their diameter fi-om side eyes ; 

 laterals nearly contiguous, seated obliquely on strong black 

 tubercles. 



Legs slender, bright yellow-amber colour ; armature erect 

 dark hairs, erect spines on femoral, genual, and tibial joints, 

 circle of weak spines round metatarsi of 3-4 ; superior tarsal 

 claws — 1st pair, fine, slightly curved, about 10 somewhat even 

 teeth ; inferior claw, free end fine, one point. 



Palpi resemble legs in colour and armature, palpal claw 

 slender, apparently no teeth. 



Falces long, linear, vertical, rugulose, reddish-amber colour. 



Maxilhe broadest at apex, inferior angle obtuse, base choco- 

 late-brown, apices yellow. 



Labium oval, everted, about half length of maxillae, dark. 



Sternum broad-cordate, dark chocolate-brown. 



Abdomen oviform, convex above, rises abruptly from petio- 

 lum ; a not very clearly defined leaf-hke mark on dorsal surface, 

 marks and shading, various tints of purple. Ejngyne represents 

 a remarkably large yellowish-brown appendage, convex above, 

 few hairs, apex directed backwards. 



Maie. — Ceph. th., long, 1-3; broad, 1. Abd., long, 1-3. 

 Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3. Leg of first pair, 4-5 mm. 



Cephalothorax olive-brown, glossy ; oval. 



Legs 1-2 do not differ much in length ; resemble female's in 

 colour and armature. 



Palpi, humeral joint about t^uice length of cubital and radial 

 together, latter articles of about equal length, cubital somewhat 

 globose, projects a long black bristle ; radial broad cup-shaped, 

 black bristle ; articles yellowish ; digital joint large, somewhat 

 oviform, convex and moderately hairy externally, convexities 

 directed towards each other, palpal organs complex, bright 

 reddish-brown ; series of, more or less, semi-transparent mem- 

 branous folds — viewed in front, article appears almost trans- 

 versely disconnected in centre ; close to base of article, on 

 outer side, is a large, reddish-brown, membranous apophysis, 

 curved forwards, concave on outer side, apex truncated. 



Abdomen rather narrower than cephalothorax, resembles 

 female's in pattern and coloration.
