700 JOHN HEWITT. 



Carapace. — The lateral margins converge in front so 

 that the anterior mai'gin is narrow. The radial depressions 

 are obscured by the clothing of hair. The fovea is transverse. 

 Stiffish black hairs fringe the margins in the posterior half, 

 a few occur just in front of the ocular area, and several 

 weaker ones near the fovea. The carapace is as long as the 

 metatarsus and half the tarsus of the fourth leg. 



Ocular area. — Anterior row of eyes decidedly procurved 

 when seen from above, the antero-laterals being one-half 

 longer than the medians and distant from the anterior margin 

 of the carapace about the length of a median. Posterior row 

 of eyes slightly recurved, the laterals being distinctly smaller 

 and shorter than the anterior laterals, whilst the medians, 

 which are oval, are a trifle longer than the anterior medians. 

 Labium. — Muticous, but maxillas armed with numerous 

 (about fifty) minute cusps at the base in a small patch. 



Chelicerae. — With nine teeth in the inner row; the outer 

 row is obsolete. 



Pedipalps. — Superiorly the femur carries a number of 

 curved bristles but no distinct spines; there is a weak spine 

 at the apex of the patella superiorly on the inner side ; 

 there is a setiform spine on the inner surface of the tibia, 

 and a number of long stout setae superiorly and inferiorly. 

 The tarsus is without spines or bristles. The spine of the 

 bulbal organ is fairly long and stout, being longer than 

 the bulb ; it is strongly twisted. 



Posteror spinners. — Longand slender, decidedly longer 

 than the sternum and labium together, being approximately 

 two-thirds as long as the abdomen. In side view the three 

 segments are about equal in length, the slender apical 

 segment being only a little longer than the penultimate 

 segment. 



Legs. — Tarsus I is long and slender, longer than IT. All 

 the tarsi are scopulate, the scopula of IV, and to a less 

 extent of III, being divided by a mesial strip of seta3 ; in 

 III the setae and scopular hairs are not so easily distinguished, 

 the setae being finer than in IV. The scopular hairs at the
