 l>oli>i. — Moderately long, concolorous with cephal- 

 othoi-ax, haii-y ; tibia iutiated and lurnished with a 

 spined apophysis; tarsi small, bespined ; bulb 

 shining, bilobed, style slightly twisted, grooved,

 oious with cephalothax, projected well forward, 

 moderately strong, hairy, but displaying naked 

 areas ; inner angle of the furrow of each falx 

 armed with a row of six strong teeth, and the 

 outer with a row of nine very small teeth, of 

 which latter the three nearest the fang are the

 curved. Mnxilhi'. — Reddish-yellow, arched, 

 hairy, apex of inner angle terminating in an

 Ovate, arched, slightly overhanging base of cephalothorax, 

 hairy ; superior surface chocolate-brown, ornamented in 

 front with three large yellow spots, which latter are 

 close together and nearly confluent ; below these there 

 is a series of transverse,' slightly curved, broken yellow 

 markings, of which the front pair are the largest; 

 inferior surface yellow (Fig. 6). Si>liinereh. — YeWow, 

 hairy ; first joint of superior pair longest, and the third

 and once their own individual transverse diameter apart. 



^^/,..._Two mature males and one half-grown female. Judging by 

 the latter the sexes are much alike both in colour and abdominal orna- 

 mentation. The sternum appears to be relatively broader than in the 

 male, and the inferior spinnerets are quite close together instead of being 

 once their own individual transverse diameter apart.
