transverse rows of four each, those of the foremost 

 row are darkish coloured, while those of the hinder 

 row are pearly white. Omitting the eyes of the hind- 

 central pair, the remaining three on either side form 

 as nearly as possible an equilateral triangle. 



The leffs are long, moderately strong, their relative 

 length being 4, 1, 2, 3. They are of a dark brown 

 colour, generally paler on the under sides, furnished 

 with hairs, fine bristles, and spines ; the latter are 

 numerous and strong beneath the metatarsi and tibiae 

 of the first and second pairs ; on those of the third 

 pair they are less strong and more uniformly disposed; 

 on those of the fourth pair they are fewest and least 

 conspicuous. The genual joints of the third pair 

 have some strongish spines on the outer side ; the 

 right leg has eight, the left nine. The toothing of 

 the superior tarsal claws does not appear to be uniform 

 on the different legs of the same example ; on those of 

 the fourth pair there were five teeth ; on those of the 

 first pair eight or nine, with two others, quite rudimen- 

 tary, towards the point of the claw ; and even on one 

 of the fourth pair of legs one of the claws had six, the 

 other five teeth. The tarsal claws of the second pair are 

 toothed throughout nearly their whole length with from 

 eight to ten teeth ; on one of the third pair the teeth 

 were but five or six, while on the other there were on 

 one claw but three ordinary teeth and a much stronger 

 one a little way off in front of them, on the second 

 claw only a single strong tooth about the middle, and 

 a smaller one close to its base. 



Tlie palpi are long and rather slender, measuring 

 rather over six lines in length ; they are similar in 

 colour to the legs, and excepting a few — from twelve
