Female 5™™ long, cephalothorax 2™"'. The cephalothorax is about 

 a quarter longer than wide, rounded at the sides, and highest in the 

 middle. The front of the head is very low, so that the front eyes are

 line over the leg« on each side. On the abdomen are two rows of 

 faint spots and oblique lines. The legs have a few faint markings 

 across the joints.
