on each side of it; outside these more median marks is on each side a 

 straight row of black spots which are in part confluent ; sides of dorsum 

 with obscure irregular dark markings; venter brown. Spinnerets 

 •and epigynum brown. 



Chelicerce one and one-third times as long as the face is high ; sides of 

 face convex and bulging outward below. Cephalothorax with its dorsal 

 line in profile convex, not much descending posteriorly and not con- 

 cavated at middle. 



Anterior row of eijes shorter than the second, distinctly procurved; 

 anterior median eyes, oval and diverging, their radius apart, hardly 

 half so far from the lateral eyes which are a little smaller, about half 

 their diameter from eyes of second row; anterior lateral eyes less than 

 their diameter (about two-thirds) from front margin of clypeus, a little 

 farther from eyes of second row; eyes of second row comparatively 

 low on face, a little more than half their diameter apart; cephalothorax 

 about 4.5 times as long as the quadrangle of posterior eyes. 



Epigynum nearly as in the next species (funerea), but the median 

 part or lobe more convex.

 thickens distaUy and, seen from above, is some thicker than the pre- 

 ceding joint; tarsus relatively narrow, not much broader than the 

 tibia, its apical part bent ventrad. For palpal organ see PI. XXIII,
