barbs on distal two-thirds. Eyes subequal, both with corneas. Dor- 

 sal setae between 34 and 40. Legs long and slender, tarsus I with

 slender barbs, being subplumose ; second seta subplumose ; third seta 

 shorter, but subplumose ; palpal thumb stout, but longer than broad ; 

 palpal claw short, curved, and bifurcate, inner prong being much 

 longer and stouter than outer. Ventral tooth of chelicerae sharp, 

 dorsal tooth vestigial or lacking. Dorsal plate slightly broader 

 than long, front margin almost straight, posterior margin broadly 

 and evenly outcurved; setae very long; pseudostigmata behind line 

 drawn between two postero-lateral setae and about three times the 

 diameter of either from each other ; pseudostigmatic organs long and 

 simple. Eyes subequal, and both pairs provided with complete 

 corneas. Dorsal abdominal setae long, straight, conspicuous, about 30 

 in number. Legs moderate, last pair longest; tarsus I with dorsal

Plate 2, Figtire 1 



Palpi conspicuous and angulate laterally along outer margin of 

 second segment ; first, second, and third setae each with many barbs, 

 hence subplumose. Palpal thumb short, inconspicuous, not reaching
