DOLOMEDES CHINESUS, new species. 

 Plate 6, fig. 42. 



Female. — The integument of carapace black excepting a bright 

 yellow stripe on each side at middle height, a fine light median longi- 

 tudinal line along middle and down posterior declivity, and a narrow 

 yellow median mark on clypeus. Chelicerae reddish, with a black 

 line down the anterior face of each. Endites yellow ventrally, black- 

 ish ectally. Palpi with black markings on femora and a blackish 

 annulus on patella and on tibia. Labium blackish. Sternum yellow, 

 clothed with short whitish hairs and much longer, stiff, dark bristles. 

 Legs with coxae black mottled with yellow ; femora with integument 

 solid black beneath and laterally, paler along dorsal surface but there 

 with numerous black dots, clothed densely with brown hair which in 

 the dry specimen cloaks the black of the integument ; patellae colored 

 like the femora but other joints light brown of a somewhat reddish 

 cast ; spines all black. Abdomen with a broad dorsal band of black, 

 this enclosing a short pale stripe anteriorly; the black dorsal area 

 limited on each side by a yellow stripe corresponding with that on 

 carapace, the side below this stripe dark, but gradually passing be- 

 low into the yellow or pale brown of the A^enter ; venter with a black 

 median quadrate area caudad of epigynum. 



First row of eyes much longer than the second ; median eyes with 

 diameter a third longer than that of the laterals, about their radius 

 apart. Eyes of second row large, less than their diameter apart. 

 Area formed by first and second eye-rows much narrower than the 

 clypeus. 



All tarsi and metatarsi scopulate; the metatarsi of posterior legs 

 with scopulae less developed proximally. 



The epigynum seems most like that of D. hercules Bosenberg and 

 Strand, but differs obviously in the form of the median piece, which is 

 relatively larger, completely filling the space between the lateral 

 ridges, with lateral angles projecting into an excavation in latter on 

 each side. See Plate 6, figure 42.
