The Abdometi is broadest about one-fourth of its length from 

 the front margin, which is rounded. It narrows to the rear, 

 which is also rounded, the sides being nearly straight. The 

 underside of the abdomen is folded in deep transverse wrinkles, 

 smaller rows of which pass round from beyond the spinnerets to 

 the sides. 



The Legs have their coxae rather large, the rear pair being 

 specially broad, and divided longitudinally with a suture. The 

 femoral joints are arched above and flattened at the sides. The 

 patellae are long and flat, the spines short and stout. The tarsi 

 and metatarsi are much finer than the tibial joints, and clothed 

 with long bristly upstanding hair. 



I have named this spider after Mr. John Memory of the 

 Macedon Government Nursery, who has kindly collected for me 

 many therefrom in addition to this.
