82 REr'ORDS OF THE ATTPTR.MJAN MUSEUM. 



their individnal diameter, and from their smaller lateral 

 neighbours by a space equal to about twice the diameter of 

 one of the larger eyes ; anterior eyes separated from each 

 other by a space equal to about one-and-a-half their individual 

 diametei'. Legs.— lioug, tine, yellow, armed with short, weak 

 spines, and clothed with short, tine, silky hair ; relative 

 lengths: 1=-, 4, 3. Palpi. — Long, fine, eoncolorous with 

 legs, and similarly clothed ajid armed ; (jenital hvlh round, with 

 a long tapering style, and terminating with a long, slightly 

 hollowed, coniform process ; on the third joint there are two 

 latei'al and apical spines, the shorter of which is by far the 

 stronger (PI. xxi., fig. 2). Fulces. — Concolorous with 

 palpi, long, arched, pori'ected, apices wide apart, inner angles 

 fi'inged with long hairs ; near the apex of each falx there is, 

 on the iippei- surface, two strong spines, of which the inner 

 one is the longer; furrows of eacli falx armed with numeious 

 teeth; />(»;/ long, not strong. Mit.iillai Siud LohinDi. — Noi'mal, 

 yellow. Sternum. — Concolorous with foi-egoing, elongate, 

 shield-shaped, arched, apex obtusely accuminate, and ter- 

 minating between fourth pair of coxte. AhJonii'ii. — Elongate, 

 cylindi'ical, slightly ovei'hanging base of cephalorhorax; superior 

 surface silvery, finely reticulated wnth yellow, and oi-namented 

 with a delicate scheme of tracery, the central bar of which 

 I'uns from antei'ior to posterior extremity ; sides silvery, and 

 finely reticulated ; infei'ior surface yellow. 



9 Cephalothorax, 2.2 mm. long, 1.4 mm. broad; abdomen, 

 16.5 mm. long, 2.2 mm. broad (PI. xxi., fig. 3). 



In general appearance, colour, and scheme of ornamentation 

 the 9 closely resembles the ,^, but the following differences, 

 in addition to the palpi, may be noted : — 



FaJces. — Less poi'iected than in the J", and having the 

 apices much closer together ; they aie also devoid of the 

 strong apical spines. Eijes. — In two recurved rows of four 

 each; the front median pair are slightly the largest of the 

 series, and are also the closest together, being separated from 

 each other by a space equal to once their individual diameter; 

 from their latei'al neighbours (which are the smallest of the 

 series) they are separated by a space equal to fully three 

 times their individual diameter; the four constituting the 

 rear row are of equal size, and are separated from each other 

 by a space equal to nearly twice their individual diameter.
