fourth pair towards the body backwards. Tarsal joints very 

 short. The fourth pair of coxae are separated from the third 

 pair by a space one-third their width and by half their width 

 from one another. There are spines on all tibial and metatarsal 

 joints, with two small ones on front inner edge of femur I. The 

 claws spring from a hollow cup at end of tarsal joint. 



The Abdomen is long, ovate, truncate, and widest at front end, 

 rather pointed at rear. It is thinly clothed with upstanding 

 hairs. 



Two pairs of stigmata are distinctly visible, the front pair in

 together just behind them. 



The inferior spinnerets are conical, with a short conical second 

 joint. 



The superior pair are widely separated, much smaller in 

 diameter, cylindrical, with small hemisperical second joint.
