Urquhakt. — Oil Neiu S'^jccu'S of Aianea?.. 153 



fine, sparse; broad-oval, basal half enlarged ' on inner side, 

 projects about midway to apex a flattisli process of its own 

 colour, rather longer than wide, directed outwards and for- 

 wards ; two similarly-directed processes spring from basal 

 curve, inner linear, apex I'ounded, concave above, reddish 

 margins, extends to anterior process ; outer acute, less than 

 half length of inner process; bulbus genitalis spiral (plane), 

 basal curve pale brownish-yellow, superior surface brownish- 

 amber, apical curve displays a conspicuous black beaded 

 margin, free end rather wide, tapering, blackish ; attached 

 to centre of bulb by a wide, veined, memlM-anous keel extend- 

 ing nearly its entire length. 



Abdomen oviform ; folium lyrate ; violet-clrab, margins 

 dark-brown, broad fore-half displays a few somewhat silvery 

 flecks ; posterior half lightly suffused with a gamboge- 

 brown, flecks yellow, metallic ; constricted to about two- 

 thirds width of fore-part, very aeutely-crenate ; superior streak 

 on lateral margins broad, green tinged gamboge-brown, 

 spotted with large silvery flecks ; inferior streak widest, 

 mottled with dark-brown, few metallic flecks ; shield on ven- 

 tral surface light chocolate - brown, l^ordered with a fine 

 silvery line, three pale dots form a triangle near spinners. 



Femina. — Ceph.-th., long, 1-5; broad, 1-2. Abd., long, 

 2-5 ; broad, 2-1. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3 = G, 4-8, 4, 25 mm. 



Cephalothorax light raw - sienna colour, median band 

 broad, olive-black, extends from fovea to hind-pairs of eyes, 

 bifurcates on caput ; side-border greener hue ; few bristles ; 

 clathrate ; broad-oval, fairly compressed forwards ; pars cepha- 

 lica convex, roundly truncated, sides rather abrupt, lateral 

 index eq"f>ls three-fourths facial, shows two circular indenta- 

 tions placed transversely nearly midway between frontal line 

 and posterior limit ; pars thoracica convex, indentation at 

 posterior incline broad-oval, caput and radial stria? somewhat 

 slight ; pr'otile-contour rises from thoracic junction at an angle 

 of 45", perceptibly curved over occiput, slopes moderately 

 across ocular area ; clypcus directed slightly inwards, depth 

 scarcely equals space dividing fore-centre eyes. 



Eyes on black oval spots ; posterior row only moderatel)' 

 recurved, median eyes posited on strong cup-shaped tuber- 

 cular eminences, rather more distant — twice an eye's diameter 

 — from each other than they are from laterals ; anterior row 

 more distinctly recurved, centre pair less than one-half size of 

 laterals, seated obliquely on a low prominence, about twice an 

 eye's breadth apart, somewhat less than that interval from 

 side-eyes, rather more than double their dividing-space from 

 posterior median pair; laterals equal hind-centrals in size, 

 seated obliquely on well-developed cup-shaped tubercles.
