black, but leaving a pale yellow streak from anterior margin to 

 about the middle, followed by two rows of paler spots to posterior 

 end, underneath black, with four longitudinal lines of white hairs 

 in patches, sides irregularly blotched with white on dark brown 

 ground. 



The Cephalothorax is longer than patella cum tibia IV., well 

 rounded at sides, two mm. longer than broad, tapering to the 

 front, where it is truncate. The rear part is slightly convex, 

 with a well-marked, deep, median sulcus. 



The front row of Eyes is straight. The two middle rather 

 larger than the side and barely the diameter of the side eyes 

 apart. The rear row is recurved, the rear middle eyes larger 

 than the front and the rear side. The area of the four median 

 is broadest at rear and as long as broad. The rear middle farther 

 from the side than from one another. Side eyes, three of their 

 diameters apart, set obliquely on a joint tubercle. 



The Clypeus is rather wider than the front middle eyes. 



The Mandibles are conical, knee-formed at base, slightly diver- 

 gent, and as long as the front patellae. The basal half has long, 

 bristly, down-pointing hair. On the inner margin of the falx 

 sheath are two teeth wide apart, at intervals dividing the slope 

 into three. 



The Lip is as broad as long, straight in front, rounded at base, 

 and less than half the length of the Maxillae^ which are upright, 

 rounded at front and sides, widest in middle, and with thick, 

 bristly hair on ths outer margin. 



The Sternum is broad oval, with depressions between the coxae ; 

 is thickly covered with down-lying hair and thin upstanding 

 bristles. 



The Abdotnen is ovate, straight in front and pointed at rear, 

 about one and a half times as long as broad ; thickly covered with 

 coarse down-lying hair. The second joint of the superior 

 spinnerets is only half as long as the first. The epigyne of the 

 female is nearly circular, with raised edging ; a central depression, 

 and, further, a pair of circular depressions in the central space. 



The male Palpi has its organs well differentiated, and a long 

 flagellum winding half-way round the lower side of the bulb. A 

 square projection, with claw at one angle, stands out from the 

 side of the tibial joint.
