110 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MITSEUM. 



$. Cephalothorax, 59 mm. long, 4'6 mm. broad; abdomen, 

 12 mm. long, 6'8 mm. broad. 



Cephalothorax longer than broad, flat, dull yellowish-brown ; 

 sparingly clothed with short yellowish pubescence. Caput flat, 

 and level with thoracic segment. Clypeus sparingly clothed with 

 yellowish pubescence ; broadest in front, retreating gradually to 

 posterior extremity, surface uneven ; the median depression is a 

 very short, straight, shallow groove ; radial grooves indistinct. 



Eyes distributed over three transverse rows of 4, 2, 2 ; of these 

 the first row is strongly procurved ; the lateral eyes of this row 

 are minute, and are seated at the extremity of cylindrical tubercles, 

 springing from the corners of the clypeus ; the median eyes are 

 also minute, and are placed closely together, immediately below 

 the two large eyes constituting the second row ; those of the 

 third or posterior row are seated well back, and are widely re- 

 moved from each other. 



Legs long, slender, brown, clothed with hoary pubescence, and 

 armed with a few short spines. Relative lengths 1 = 2, 4, 3. 



Palpi short, similar in colour and armature to legs. 



Falces long, strong, perpendicular, divergent, dark brown, the 

 inner margins fringed with long, yellowish hairs, the outer surface 

 sparingly clothed with greyish pubescence. 



Maxillce dark brown, long, strong, constricted towards the 

 insertion of the palpi, thence greatly divergent, and rounded ofi" 

 at the extremities. 



Labium concolorous, rather broader at the base than the apex, 

 which is truncated. 



Sternum subtriangular, dark brown laterally, otherwise pale 

 yellowish ; the surface pubescent. 



Abdomen moderately arched, much longer than broad, angular, 

 narrow in front, but gradually broadening out towards its middle, 

 where it is widest, and thence sharply tapering off" to its ultimate 

 extremity ; the superior surface and sides are yellow-brown, and 

 reticulated; commencing at its anterior extremity there is a dark 

 brown, rather deep longitudinal median groove of varying width, 

 the margins of which are I'ough and irregular; the groove terminates 

 at a point a little below the centre ; at a distance of rather more 

 than one-third the length of this groove, there are two small, 

 bark brown spots, seated on either side, but quite close to the 

 outer margins; at the widest part of the abdomen there are two 

 lateral obtuse tubercular projections, and these are moderately 

 high; the inferior surface is also yellowish-brown, and reticulated. 

 Epigyne a simple, dark brown tubercular eminence, the overhang- 

 ing lip of which curves slightly upwards towards the centre. 

 Cribellum transverse, undivided. Spinnerets long and cylindrical.
