 Comicularia crinifrons, sp. nov. Plate XXI., fig. 3, 11. 



Mas. — Ceph.-th., long, 1-4; broad, 1. Abd., loug, 28; 

 broad, 1. Legs, 1st pair missing, 2, 4, 3 = 10-6, 9, 5-5 mm. 



Gephalothorax fulvous, eye-area red-mahogany colour, 

 cihaded with brown, sharply defined, connected by a wide 

 streak with a brown-bordered lanceolate figiu-e extending to 

 fovea, latter reddish ; marginal zone narrow, dark-brown ; 

 middle band represented by a series of dots on radial ridges ; 

 cephalic tubercle furnished with numerous strong hairs, 

 directed outwards and forwards ; pars cephalica elevated, 

 laterally rounded, prolouged into a strong tubercle, apex 

 rounded, rather more than one-third length of caput ; chjpeus 

 directed moderately forwards, height nearly equals depth of 

 ocular area ; pars thoracica nearly circular, convex, border- 

 hem wide, fovea chcular, deep ; radial striae deeply grooved, 

 caput striae moderately : contour of profile slopes backwards 

 from summit of caput to posterior limit at an angle of about 

 30°, with a visible curve, dome-shaped on thorax. 



Eyes do not difler much in size, form a circlet on cephalic 

 eminence ; posterior eyes of about equal size, centrals closer 

 to each other — a sj^ace less than twice an eye's breadth — than 

 they are to laterals ; anterior row equidistant, median pair 

 dark, smallest of eight ; laterals have the pearl-grey lustre of 

 hind-median eyes, posited obliquely, contiguous. 



i^a/tTS brownish-amber, glossy; subcouical, anterior fourth 

 divergent, directed somewhat forwards, moderately stout, 

 length rather less than twice height of clypeus. 



MaxiUcB fulvous, pale about extremities ; rather longer than 

 broad, obtusely pointed, strongly developed at insertion of 

 palpi, inclined over labium, latter organ fulvous, breadth some- 

 what surpasses length, apex pinched, Hp-like, less than half 

 length of maxillae. 



Sternum fulvous, broad, well-defined heart-shape. 



Legs light brownish-yellow ; femora of second, third, and 

 fourth pairs have respectively 5, 3, and 4 light-brownish rings, 

 tibiae 4, 2, 2; legs very slender ; hairs sparse, few tine bristles; 

 superior tarsal claws — second pair, long, rather slender, mo-

 end forms nearly half the claw, tip bent ; inferior clav,- three- 

 fourths length of superior, sharply bent, base stout ; appa- 

 rently small teeth. 



Palpi colour of legs ; humeral joint surpasses cubital + 

 radial by one-fourth ; contour of cubital joint has somewhat 

 the form of an isosceles triangle ; on apex — which projects above 

 its articulation with penultimate article — is a stout, curved, 

 black spine ; two serrations on central third, anterior side ;
