cum tibia IV. It is highest in the middle of the cephalic part, 

 sloping gradually thence to rear of thoracic part. 



The Majidibles are long and powerful, somewhat drawn to the 

 rear. In the female they are nearly twice as long as the patellar 

 and equal to the tibial joint of the front pair of legs ; about one 

 and a half of patella in male. The lower end of the falx is only 

 slightly narrower than the upper, which is kneed. They are 

 covered with a thick bush of hair so long as to quite conceal the 

 edge. The fang is long and stout, and rather straight. On the 

 inner margin of the falx sheath are three large teeth, of which 

 the middle is slightly larger than the other two. 



The front row of Eyes is broader than the middle row. The 

 front middle eyes are one and a half times as broad as the side, 

 two-thirds of their diameter apart, and barely their diameter 

 from the middle row. The latter are two-thirds of their 

 diameter apart. The rear eyes, three-quarters the diameter of 

 the second row eyes, are one and a half of their diameter away 

 from same, and three times their diameter apart. The clypeus 

 equals in breadth the diameter of the front middle eyes. 



The Maxillae are arched, broadest in front, where they are 

 slightly rounded ; a thick fringe of long hair on the inner half of 

 the front edge, and of shorter hair on the inner slope. 



The Lip is barely half the length of the maxillae, arched 

 transversely, with a broad front edge hollowed out : it is 

 distinctly broader than long. 



The Stermim is a broad oval, well raised up from its bed, from 

 which it is nearly as high at the edges as in the middle. It is 

 thickly clothed with upstanding, bristly hair. 



The Abdomen is long ovate, broadest one-fourth from the rear 

 end, rather high at the sides. 



The Palpi are slightly shorter than the cephalothorax, the 

 femoral joint thickened in front and curving inwards. The tibial 

 joint is longer than the patellar, all rather thickly haired. 



The Legs are stout, with a thick scopula on tarsus and meta- 

 tarsus of all legs. On all the legs the femur has two long and 

 one shorter spine on upper side. Metatarsus IV. is shorter than 

 patella cum tibia IV.
