114 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



moderately long, but strong yellow spines ; all the legs are 

 furnished with tubercles, chiefly of a creamy-white colour, but 

 these are by far the largest and most numerous on the outer 

 surface of the anterior pair; tarsal claws, black. Relative lengths 

 1 = 2, 3 = 4. 



Palj)i yellow-brown, aculiate, densely clothed with coarse 

 yellowish hairs. 



Falces concolorous, densely clothed with long coarse hairs, 

 cylindriform. 



Maxillce pale yellowish, long, cylindrical, inclining inwards. 



Labium concolorous, rather longer than broad, truncated at 

 apex. 



Sternum concolorus also, ovate, truncated in front, moderately 

 convex, its surface granulated and sparingly clothed with pale 

 yellowish hairs. 



Abdomen sub-pentagonal, truncated in front, slightly projecting 

 over base of cephalothorax, pale yellowish, moderately hairy; the 

 superior surface furnished with tubercles, the largest of which are 

 coniform ; in front there is a curved series of eight, and of these 

 the central pair are much the smallest ; in an oblique line from 

 the lateral tubercles of the series just described, and running 

 inwards, there is on each side another tubercle, somewhat smaller 

 and more obtuse, and below these again, but in a line directed 

 outwards, there are on each side two smaller somewhat coniform 

 tubercles ; commencing at the centre, and running towards the 

 anterior extremity, there is a series of six obtuse tubercles, dis- 

 posed in three rows of two each ; of these, those of the first and 

 second rows are equidistant and small, whilst those of the third 

 or anterior row are somewhat larger and wider apart ; at the 

 broadest part of the abdomen, there is on each side a series of 

 seven coniform tubercles, and of these the lateral ones are much 

 the longest ; at the sides of and below these again, there are also 

 one or two smaller ones ; immediately between the two series 

 referred to above, and close to their inner margins, there are two 

 slightly curved longitudinal rows of three each, the individuals of 

 which are rather small ; from the centre, at its widest point, and 

 to its posterior extremity, the abdomen is transversely furrowed, 

 and these furrows are slightly procurved ; the inferior surface is 

 of a somewhat lighter colour, and moderately clothed with 

 concolorous hairs. Epigyne is a small, black, tubercular 

 eminence.
