slope to posterior central eyes, dips abruptly across facial space. 

 Height of chjpeus equals space between fore-median eyes. 



Posterior row of eyes recurved, interval between median pair 

 equals their diameter ; anterior row recurved, centrals slightly 

 largest of eight, rather more than their breadth from each other, 

 separated by latter space from hind-pair ; lateral eyes placed 

 obliquely on separate tubercles, their diameter apart, fore- 

 tubercle prominent. 



Leiis moderately strong, concolorous to cephalothorax, broad 

 chocolate- brown annulatious ; light and dark stiff hairs ; femora 

 convex above, few short spines ; genual joint half-length of 

 tibial, both articles have two well-marked longitudinal grooves ; 

 tibiffi and metatarsi have few irregular yellowish spines above, 

 former double-row of 4 beneath, latter two rows of 6. Superior 

 tarsal claws — 1st pair moderately curved, 9 open comb-teeth, 

 points ciu'ving slightly backwards ; inferior claw, 2 points. 



Palpi moderately stout, rather longer than cephalothorax, 

 resemble legs in colour and armature ; palpal claw long, 

 moderately curved, 10 comb-teeth, increasing in length and 

 strength, directed forwards. 



Falces strong, vertical, somewhat conical, project at base in 

 front, divergent, yellowish, suffused with chocolate-brown. 



Ma.vUla: nearly as broad as long, obtusely pointed, inclined 

 towards labium, which is broader than long, pointed ; organs 

 yellowish, base dark. 



Steinnm cordate, eminences opposite coxae, yellowish-brown, 

 suffused with darker hue. 



Abdomen somewhat oviform, posterior end transversely 

 wrinkled, base broad, projects over thorax, slightly convex 

 above, sides rounded, longitudinally wrinkled ; sparsely clothed 

 with short light hairs, few bristles ; a broad, coarsely runci- 

 nate, median band tapers to spinners, mottled brown, inner 

 marginal streak black-brown, outer creamy-yellow, in centre 

 of dorsal band is a — not clearly defined — acute-crenate 

 chocolate mark, few creamy-yellow marginal lines ; lateral 

 margin yellow stone - colour, series of somewhat sinuated, 

 brown-black, oblique liues converge towards spinners. On 

 ventral surface there is a large, somewhat quadrate, shield- 

 shaped dark olivaceous mark, with two large creamy-yellow 

 spots near spinners. Kjiiyyne transverse oval, encircled by 

 two broad projecting membranes, outer yellowish, inner shades 

 off to chocolate-brown on posterior side, is confluent with 

 outer anterior side, from whence they are produced into a 

 broad tapering central keel, connected at its truncated apex 

 with outer membrane ; dark inner membrane incurvate with- 

 in concavities, on either side of keel ; projecting over labia 

 is a broad, pendulous, segmented, contorted, yellowish process, 

 applanate and incurved at apex.
