88i Tratisactions. — Zoology. 



Cephalothorax yellow-brown, suffused with red-chestnut ; 

 hairs greyish, sparse ; broad-oval, constricted laterally for- 

 wards, depressed ; caput roundly truncated, lateral index nearly 

 equals space between foi'e-lateral eyes ; ocular eminence low ; 

 median indentation transverse, normal grooves well-marked. 

 Clypeus vertical, height exceeds diameter of a fore-central eye. 



Posterior row of eyes moderately recurved, median pan* 

 about their diameter apart, rather more than their breadth 

 from anterior centrals, which are separated by about theu' 

 diameter and a half, and rather more than that interval from 

 the side-eyes next to them ; laterals seated obliquely on dark 

 tubercles, about their radius from each other. 



Legs moderately strong, concolorous to cephalothorax, more 

 or less defined greenish annulations ; armature darkish hairs 

 and spines ; length of tibial spines about equal to diameter of 

 article; superior tarsal claws — 1st pair evenly curved, 11 teeth, 

 4 outer open, curved backwards ; inferior claw long, sharply 

 bent, teeth small. 



Palpi moderately slender, armature and colour of legs ; 

 palpal claw moderately curved, 6 teeth, increasing much in 

 length and strength. 



Falces vertical, conical, tumid at base in front, strong 

 teeth ; similar to legs m colour. 



Maxilla; broad, inclined towards labium, which is nearly 

 as long as broad, somewhat pointed, everted ; yellowish- 

 green, base dark. 



Sternum, cordate, eminences opposite coxae, chocolate-brown 

 colour. 



Abdomen ovoid, projects over base of cephalothorax, on 

 dorsal surface is a broad, pale pea-green, yellow-margined 

 lance-like mark, basal angles obtuse, shaft tapers posteriorly ; 

 the four central, well-marked, impressed spots on lance-head 

 form a trapezoid ; lateral margins dark velvety - brown. 

 Epigyne represents a yellowish-green, transversely wrinkled, 

 moderately jirominent, semicircular eminence, centrally pro- 

 duced into a broad, transversely wrinkled process, directed 

 backwards, ccmcave above, apex somewhat calceolate; projecting 

 laterally from base of lip are large processes, termniatmg 

 with somewhat planiform spiral lobes. 



Female. — Var. veruina, var. nov. 



Cephalothorax, legs, and palpi do not differ essentially in 

 coloration from type form. Abdomen light brown, shading 

 off on lateral margins to a soft dark brown, specific mark 

 pale chalky-green edged with buff, shaiply constricted at 

 posterior pair of central impressed spots, giving it the form 

 of an arrow, with a well-elefiued shaft : on posterior half 

 of abdt'men is a brownish banil, with sinuated margins.
