94 RECORDS OF THE ADSTRALIAX MUSEUII. 



Obs. — At first sight very like .4. subtristis in general appearance, but 

 easily distingaislied from that species by its much smaller size, eye formula, 

 spatulate style of palpus, tibial apophysis of leg i. and the prominent 

 abdominal lung marks. 



9. Cephalothorax, 95 mm. long, 63 mm. broad ; abdomen, 10"3 mm. 

 long, 6'3 mm. broad. 



Cephalothora.v. — Obovate, yellow, with yellow-brown markings, spar- 

 ingly clothed with fine yellowish pubescence. Fars cephalica well arched; 

 thoracic groove profound ; ocular area longer than broad, raised and strongly 

 arched, rather dark, and furnished with a few long, black bristles ; chjpeus 

 hyaline, sloping well forward, indented at the middle. Pc(/'.s thoracica arched, 

 sinuous laterally, radial grooves strongly defined ; thoracic fovea deep, 

 slightly procurved ; marginnl band broad, pallid, fringed with fine, yellow- 

 ish hairs. Eyes. — Distributed over three rows of 2, 2, 4. The front pair 

 elliptical, poised obliquely on black rings, touching mai-gin of clypeus, and 

 separated from each other by a space equal to rather more than once their 

 individual diameter; median pair round, slightly larger than their anter- 

 ior neighbours, and separated from each other by a space scarcely equal 

 to that of once their own individual diametei'; this pair is also separated fi'om 

 their anterior neighbours by a space equal to that of once their own indiv- 

 idual diameter, and again by nearly the same distance from the inner eyes 

 of the posterior row ; posterior row slightly procurved on its front line 

 and recurved on the posterior line ; lateral eyes of this row elliptical, 

 seated obliquely, about same size as those of the front I'ow, and mounted 

 on black rings ; inner eyes minute, ringed with black ; each is separated 

 fi'om its lateral neighbour by a space equal to that of once its own diameter ; 

 the two pairs constituting the third row widely removed (PI. xxi., fig. 42). 

 Legs. — Moderately long, strong, yellow, densely clothed with long black 

 haiis, bristles and setfe, but showing naked patches on theii- upper surface ; 

 each tibia, metatarsus and tarsus armed with long, strong spines under- 

 neath, those on legs i. and ii. being the longest; the underside of each leg 

 clothed with long, dark hairs and bristles ; metatarsi and tarsi i. and ii. 

 scopulated ; claws long, well curved, and serrated at base. I'alpi. — Long 

 strong, yellow, similar in clothing and armature to legs i. and ii. FaJces. — 

 Yellow, well projected forward, inner angles and sides densely hairy, 

 upper surface smooth ; apices densely hair}' and furnished with a 

 powerful rasleUinii ; upper angle of tlie furrow of each falx armed 

 with seven teeth, and the lower with five ; fa)iy long, well curved, 

 reddish. MiLfiUn-. — Yellowish-red, arched, divergent, well rounded at 

 base, thickly matted with long hair, and furnished with a few small 

 spines near the base at the inner angle. Labium. — Normal, coiicolourous 

 with cephalothorax, submerged beneath bases of raaxillse, hairy, not spined. 

 Sternum. — Pyriform, yellow, arched, well clothed with dark hairs and 

 bristles, anterior sigilla marginal, the posterior large, round, i-emoved from 

 margin, and seated at a point between secc^id and third pair of coxa?. 

 Abilonion. — Ovate, brown, spotted with yellow, ovei'hanging base of cephalo- 

 thoi'ax ; upper surface thickly matted with dark brown hairs and bi-istles, 

 and marked with foui' lung spots, the postei-ior pair of which are seated 

 about the middle, are much the lai-gest, and the widest apart ; beneath 

 the latter there are two large elliptical, obliquely directed yellowish marks,
