(_re)iHt> Blakistonia, thujij. 



In 1902 Hogg founded the genus Blakistunia^- for a species 

 of trap-door spider, specimens of which he reported from 

 Adelaide, Blakiston, and Mt. Lofty Ranges, South Australia. 

 Up to the present time the type species only has been known 

 (7). (iiirea, Hogg), but it now appeal's that the range of the 

 genus is fairly extensive, for the examj)le before me was 

 collected by Dr. Thos. L. Bancroft at Eidsvold, nearGayndah, 

 Queensland. This species, which I describe hereunder, I 

 name in hoiioin' of the collectoj-, and, in oi-der to assist students, 

 submit the following key : — 



A — Front eyes separated from each other by a space equal 

 to one-and-a-half the diametei' of one of the median 

 eyes, median eyes once their individual diameter 

 apart, long diameter of fi-ont pair of eyes equals 

 diameter of rear lateial eyes; thoracic fovea slightly 

 pi'ocui'ved ; maxillfe on lower inner corner furnished 

 with spines similar to those on lip ; lip as long as 

 broad, convex, rounded at base, straight in front, fur- 

 nished with i-ather thick bristles and stout spines on the 

 upper half, tapering from base to point; sternum pyrifoi-m; 

 postei'ior sigilla, moderate in size, about their diametei-

B. — Front e^-es sepai'ated from each other by a space equal to 

 twice the diameter of one of the median eyes, median eyes 

 once their individual diameter apart, long diameter of 

 fi'ont pail' of eyes I'ather larger than that of rear lateral 

 eyes ; thoracic fovea strongly procuivi'd ; inaxilla' t'ni-
