 extreme tip of tarsi, which are light yellow ; in all legs the 

 respective lengths of the femoral, tibial, and metatarsal-cum-tarsal

Palpi about as long as falces ; radial joint twice as long as 

 cubital, enlarging gradually towards the extremity, and having a 

 sharp double-curved corneous projection on its outer extremity ; 

 digital twice as long as radial, oval ; palpal organs small, consist- 

 ing of a simple lobe, with a small white spiral spine coiled one

 towards the extremities ; on the outer side, at about one third of 

 their length from their insertion, is a strong tooth, directed 

 upwards and sidewards ; there is also a strong tooth on the inner 

 extremity ; viewed from below, the falces seem to have a longitu- 

 dinal furrow ; at the extremity and on the lower edge of this fur- 

 row are five strong teeth, about which are some long fine hairs ;

 with a few minute hairs. 



Fangs as long as falces, straight, almost the entire length, with 

 a slight curve or hook at the extremity ; slightly thickest at the 

 insertion, and tapering very gradually to the extremity, and with- 

 out any seration ; colour dark brown for three-fourths their length, 

 then light reddish yellow.
