Length of the female 1th of an inch ; length of cephalo-thorax 45 ; breadth 44; ; 
breadth of abdomen 7; ; length of a posterior leg 1; length of a leg of the 
third pair 2. | 
Upper part of the cephalo-thorax convex, glossy, thinly covered with hairs, 
broadly truncated before, with a narrow indentation in the medial line of 
the posterior region; its colour is dark brown, the anterior part and 
margins being much the darkest. Mandibles powerful, conical, convex 
at the base, in front rather prominent, armed with a few teeth on the 
inner surface, and of a very dark brown colour, approaching to black. 
. Lip somewhat oval, truncated at the extremity, resembling the mandibles 
in colour. Maxillæ long, straight, enlarged where the palpi are inserted, 
and at the extremity, which is rounded. Sternum oval, glossy, with small 
eminences on the sides, opposite to the articulation of the legs ; its colour, 
and that of the maxillæ, is dark reddish brown. Eyes disposed in two 
transverse, parallel rows on the fore-part of the cephalo-thorax ; the ante- 
rior row, which is the shorter, is situated just above the frontal margin ; 
the intermediate eyes form a trapezoid whose anterior side is the shortest, 
those of the anterior row being the largest of the eight. Legs short, of a 
pale dull yellowish hue; fourth pair the longest, then the second, third 
pair rather shorter than the first. Each tarsus is terminated by two 
curved, pectinated claws, below which is a small brush or climbing appa- 
ratus. Palpi short, with a small curved claw at their extremity ; they 
resemble the legs in colour. Abdomen oviform, hairy, slightly depressed, 
projecting over the base of the cephalo-thorax; it is of a dark reddish 
brown hue, the medial line of the anterior half of the upper side being the 
darkest. Spinners prominent, very dark brown. Plates of the spiracles 
pale red-brown. 
The male resembles the female in colour and in the relative length of 
its legs, but it is smaller than sheis, Third and fourth joints of the palpi
