Ukquhart. — On Ncio S2]ccies of Araneac. 133 



tervals equalling their diameter and a half ; anterior row pro- 

 curved, fore-margin of centrals in line with space between 

 laterals ; median pair visibly less than an eye's breadth from 

 one another, rather more than their diameter from side-eyes ; 

 laterals nearly equal centrals in size, posited obhquely on very 

 low eminences, separated by a space equal to two-thirds 

 breadth of a fore-latertil eye. 



Lcijs shade yellower than cephalothorax ; anuuli some- 

 what obliterated, orange-yellow, deepening in tone forwards, 

 shaded on posterior pairs ; two central annulations on femora ; 

 three rings on tibiae -f I'netatarsi ; moderately slender ; hairs 

 fine, outstanding ; 7 or 8 short spines on femoral joints ; 

 patelljfi, 2 ; tibial joints, about 7 ; metatarsi show 5 or more 

 irregular spines, ring of 4 at extremity ; superior tarsal claws 

 — first pair rather slender, curved, 13 long, somewhat even, 

 open comb-teeth, exceeding length of claw ; inferior claw 

 shortly and sharply bent, 2 points. 



Palpi fulvous, except radial + digital joints, which have a 

 deeper brownish tinge ; humeral joint strong, linear, fully 

 equal in length to cubital + radial together ; projects 3 black 

 bristles in line on superior surface ; pars cubitalis somewhat 

 slighter, 2 bristles ; pars radialis rather surpasses former article 

 in leugth, about as broad as long near base ; bifurcates, pro- 

 longed outwardly into a large, pointed, ear-shaped process, 

 posterior and upper margin armed with a series of black, 

 acute, tooth- like projections, basal tooth much the longest and 

 stoutest ; projecting from base of process, lower side, is a 

 brown, translucent, stout, outward-curved apophysis ; some- 

 what slender at articulation with digital joint ; few bristles ; 

 pars digitalis scarcely exceeds two former articles in length ; 

 lamina ovate, base slender, tapers somewhat sharply at ex- 

 tremity ; moderately clothed with fine hairs ; genital bulb 

 brownish ; viewed partially from front, shell-shaped, wide and 

 convex posteriorly, concave within, curved forwards, uppei- 

 margin tapers beneath lamina ; lower margin pinched into an 

 angular form ; bulbus produced towards fore-end, beneath, 

 into a strong, blunt, forward-curved process of its own colour ; 

 projecting from within fore-half of bulb are, apparently, two 

 membranous lobes ; divergent extremities of first or outej' 

 lobe, dark, recurved ; second lobe pale within, broad, some- 

 what triangular on inner side, displays at apex a short, 

 pointed, black process ; a long, fine, black apophysis curves 

 across face of genital bulb, close to margin of lamina, from 

 inner side. 



Falces red-mahogany colom- ; linear - conical, vertical ; 

 basal third, superior side, displays a piano-conical elevation ; 

 as stout as thigh of a fore-leg, length equals humeral + cubital 

 joints of palpus ; fangs short, slight.
