Spiders from the Uppei^ Endeavour River 145 



the cephalothorax it again curves inwards to a point, where a 

 cubical shaped turret, divided into four at the top, stands 

 pointing obliquely outwards. 



The back view shows an inverted isosceles triangle, the 

 turrets being at the base angles with an inverted saddle 

 between them, and the spinnerets at the apex. On each side 

 are placed two pairs of small conical prominences, one pair just 

 below each turret and tlie other pair half way down on a level 

 with the junction of the cephalothorax. 



Viewed from front the turrets stand out obliquely with a 

 conical prominence in the hollow between them flanked on each 

 side by a smaller one. The upper pair of hinder prominences 

 show out laterally. 



The epigyne consists of a stout square transversely wrinkled 

 plate lying on the body and supporting as a mid-rib a triangular 

 broader follicle which stands out from the surface. 



In the Palpi the femoral joint is curved to the head and 

 thickened at the fore-end, the tarsal joint longer than tibial, 

 and both are thickly covered with bristly hair and spines. 



The Legs have the femoral joint stout, dilated in the middle 

 and curved on the outer edge, the other joints tapering to a fine 

 point on the tarsus. The femurs and patellae are nearly bare, 

 but the tibia tarsus and metatarsus are armed with long spines 

 and thickly covered with stout upstanding bristly hair. On tibia 

 and metatarsus I. and II. a closely lying double row of short 

 curved spines on inner side gives the appearance of a magnified 

 calamistrum.
