segment from its base ; this is covered with numerous black 

 spinules. There is a pair of spines at the apex inferiorly^ 

 one on the inner surface about halfway along the segment^ 

 and one on the lower surface externally just proximal to the 

 protuberance. A distinct scopula is only present in the distal 

 half of the segment, though scattered scopular hairs occur 

 in the basal half also. Tibia T stouter than the patella, and 

 very much stouter than the metatarsus ; at the apex inferiorly 

 is a strong projecting spur, bearing a slightly curved stout 

 spine at its end ; on the lower and lateral surfaces there are 

 also about 6 long but rather weak spines. In the pale 

 articular membrane between the tibia and metatarsus inferiorly 

 there is a well-defined indurated brown area at the base of the 

 latter ; this also occurs as an isolated element on the second 

 leg, and is more or less distinctly represented on III and IV. 

 Patella I with a weak spine near the apex on the inner side. 

 Metatarsus II with 2 spines at the apex inferiorly, also 5 

 on the lower surface and 2 or 3 on the inner surface ; the 

 scopula is fairly well developed in the distal half of the 

 segment. Tibia II has 3 'spines at the apex inferiorly and 3 

 on the lower surface, also 2 on the inner surface. The tibiae 

 and metatarsi of III and IV bear long, sti'ong spines, the 

 metatarsi being devoid of scopular hairs. The femora 

 superiorly bear long spiniform bristles. 



Sternum. — The margins are fringed with bristles; the 

 general surface carries brown silky hairs and black stiff hairs. 



Abdomen. — On the dorsal surface anteriorly there are 

 some long curved bristles. 



Measurements. — Total length (including spinners and 

 chelicerge) 14*5 mm., length of carapace 4*75 mm., breadth 

 of carapace 8"5 mm., length of metatarsus of fourth leg 

 3'65 mm., length of posterior spinners 3'65 mm. 



The female greatly resembles the male in general charac- 

 ters. The chelicerae have 10 teeth in the inner row, and 

 the outer row is represented by a series of minute denticles^ 

 the end of the outer series being opposite to the eighth tooth
