" M. fusco rufoque-flavicante, maculis obscurioribus, thorace 

 radiatim, abdomine seriatim dispositis, subtus thorace rufes- 

 ceute, abdomine flavidulo, mandibulis spinarum serie unica, 

 tarsis omnibus spinulosis." 



" The cephalo-tborax oval, elongated and truncate in front, 

 while the head is smooth and bare, with a group of eight 

 eyes, a little keeled in the middle ; of a fulvous-brown colour, 

 with ten rather dusky spots arranged in rays, and correspond-

 maxillae. The mandibles are large, horizontal at first, then 

 curved downwards, making a quarter of a circle, furnished 

 with numerous hairs, especially on the inner side, and at the 

 anterior extremity above there are mobile and rather long 

 spines ; below they are channelled, with six little teeth or 

 spines on the edge (rilievo) of the inner face, clothed with

 curved, acute, and black. The maxillae are clothed with 

 brown hairs almost as the legs are, and at their extremity, on 

 the outer side, stand the long palpi, rather hairy (pelacciuti), 

 terminated by a very short and simple little claw. The ster-

 or shorter according to age, dusky ash in colour, spotted with
