jPcmmrt.— Ceph.-th., long, 1-S ; broad, 1. Abd., long, 1-6 

 broa,d, 1. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3. Leg of 1st pair, iomm. 



Ceplwlothorax reddish-bro^vn, shaded, chiefly on margins 

 and grooves, with a darter tone ; almost glabrous ; clathrate ; 

 oval, constriction at caput slight ; pars cephalica strongly 

 convex, truncated ; lateral index about equals facial ; cJypeiis

 almost horizontal across occiput, slopes at eye-region. 



Ei/es rather large ; posterior row slightly procuxved, median 

 pair an eye's breadth from laterals, about two-thirds that 

 space from each other ; anterior row sensibly recurved, 

 centrals about one-third smaller than posterior pan- ; scarcely 

 their radius from one another, removed from side-eyes by an 

 interval equal to then- diameter, and from hind-centrals by 

 rather more than that space ; laterals have the pearl-grey 

 lustre of posterior media.n eyes, surpass them in size by about 

 one-thhd, placed obliquely, one-fourth theh breadth apart, 

 on moderately stout tubercular prominences. 



Fakes orange-brown ; clathrate ; tumid at base, taper some-
