rRQUHART. — On new Species of Araneidea. 117 



thoracic fovea somewhat oval, rather deep ; caput and radial 

 striae moderately defined ; profile contour rises at an angle of 

 about 30°, slopes moderately forwards across pars cephalica ; 

 clypeus in height equals radius of a fore-central eye. 



Eyes have a lake-brown tinge, encircled by rings of a similar 

 hue ; fore and hind row — somewhat angular — recurved ; pos- 

 terior-centrals separated by an interval nearly equal to their 

 diameter, nearly their space and a-half from hind-laterals ; 

 anterior- centrals rather larger and darker than posterior median 

 eyes, interval between them equal to about twice that of the 

 latter pair, rather further from one another than they are from 

 hind-centrals ; lateral eyes seated obliquely on separate and 

 moderately prominent tubercles, one-third their diameter apart. 

 Legs moderately strong ; straw-colour, slightly suffused with 

 pea-green ; metatarsi and tarsi brownish ; armature, light hairs, 

 sparse; spines yellow-brown; moderately numerous, but irre- 

 gular, on tibia? and metatarsi of 1st pair, tibial spines less than 

 diameter of article in length ; superior tarsal claws — 1st pair, 

 inner 9, outer 12 comb teeth ; inferior claw 2 small teeth. 



Palpi equal in length genual and tibial joints of a leg of 4th 

 pair ; straw-colour ; hairs sparse, whitish ; spines numerous ; 

 palpal claw 9 teeth. 



Fake* clear, pale straw-colour, fangs and teeth lake-brown ; 

 conical, vertical, project forwards at base, in thickness about 

 equal to femora of 4th pair ; teeth, inner row 3 ; outer 3 small, 

 2 large. 



Maxilla rather longer than broad, obliquely pointed, inclined 

 towards labium, which is rather broader than long, somewhat 

 pointed, everted; organs straw-colour. 



Sternum pea -green, interrupted yellow median line ; few 

 hairs, spine on forepart ; cordate ; eminences. 



Abdomen oviform, sensibly convex above; on basal end, 

 which is pointed, are three moderately-defined impressed spots 

 forming a triangle, whose apex is directed backwards ; the four 

 central impressed spots are well marked and form a trapezoid; 

 sparsely clothed with very short, light hairs; yellow, suffused 

 with pea-green ; series of fine green lines extend from spinners, 

 which are moderately long, light-brown, to posterior pair of 

 impressed spots ; lateral margins deeper green, finely wrinkled ; 

 ventral surface yellowish; greenish, yellow-margined, shield- 

 shaped mark extends from spinners to branchial opercula, 

 which are light-brown. Corpus vulval semicircular, transversely 

 wrinkled, moderately prominent, centrally depressed, margins 

 tumid; scapns bright, deep, straw-colour, directed backwards, 

 broad, rather more than three times as long as wide, trans- 

 versely wrinkled, apex calceolate; projecting laterally from 

 about centre of scapus are broad-oval, wing-like, wrinkled 

 processes, extremities brownish, tumid; beneath them, viewed
