Apgoctenus pectinatus, nov. sp. (PL XVI., Fig. 1). 



The cephalothorax is yellow-browii, with short curly greyish 

 yellow hairs, the eyes bright topaz. The mandibles, dark brownish 

 grey, paler on the lower part of inner edge, with upstanding 

 black bristles, fangs brownish pink. The lip and maxillae, ashy 

 grey, with pale ivory yellow edgings. The sternum is dark grey, 

 with thin greyish yellow hair. The abdomen is yellowish grey, 

 with short stout black upstanding hairs, and down-lying pale 

 yellow, curved as on cephalothorax. The sides and underpart are 

 greyer than above. Spinnerets, dark grey. The upper joint of 

 superior pair yellowish. The legs and palpi are coloured like the 

 cephalothorax, the femoral joints of the two rear pairs of legs 

 being somewhat darker and greyer, as is the underside of all the 

 femora, and the coxae, agreeing with the colour of the sternum. 



The Cephalothorax is shorter than the patella cum tibia of the 

 4th pair of legs, and \ mm. longer than the breadth between the 

 2nd and 3rd pairs. 



The cephalic part is well raised up, and runs about straight to 

 the middle of the cephalothorax, where begins a very deep, well 

 marked fovea with rounded edges. The side-slopes are rather 

 pronounced, and end in a clearly marked depression, the beginning 

 of the somewhat broad flat margin of the thoracic part. Three 

 or four long bristles stand out from the forehead just below the 

 eyespace. The front of the face is perpendicular from the rear 

 middle eyes, the rear side eyes standing on the side edges of the 

 cephalic median ridge. The clypeus is the breadth of the front 

 pair of eyes. 



The Eyes of the front row are somewhat smaller than those of 

 the third, both pairs being about two-thirds of their respective 

 diameters apart. 



The second row (or side eyes of first row) are very minute, and 

 are equidistant from the front and I'ear eyes of the middle square, 

 twice the same distance from the side rear, or fourth row, which 

 are the largest of any of the eyes, 1 i diameters of front pair. 



The Mandibles are long, decidedly longer than the front patellae, 

 rather strongly arched, smooth and shiny, a long sloping falx edge 

 makes them diverge from about the middle. They are thinly 

 clothed with short rough hairs and long upstanding bristles. The 

 fangs are short, weak and well curved.
