index scarcely equals facial ; height of dypcus slightly exceeds 

 diameter of "a fore-centre eye ; pars thoracica convex, fovea 

 circular, deep, large ; normal grooves somewhat slight ; 

 contour of profile represents an angle of 45=' at posterior 

 slope, visibly curved across caput. 



Eyes moderately recurved, curvature of posterior row 

 nearly as strong as anterior; median eyes of hind-row large, 

 on dark oval spots, separated by an interval equal to their 

 diameter and a quarter; three -fourths their space from 

 laterals ; fore-centrals on dark spots, nearly form a square 

 with posterior median pair, scarcely equal to one-half their 

 size, divided from them by a space less than their own 

 breadth ; closer to side-eyes than are hind-centrals ; lateral 

 eyes one -fourth smaller, than fore -median pair, posited 

 obliquely on separate dark tubercular prominences, less than 

 one-third their diameter apart. 



Legs pale raw-sienna ; femora -f patellae suffused with a 

 deeper shade ; two faint annuli on tibiae -f metatarsi ; hairs 

 sparse ; rather slight black spines on all joints except tarsal ; 

 femora of first have 11 ; patell£e,4; tibise, 14 somewhat irregular 

 spines ; metatarsi, & ; superior tarsal claws — first pair, 10 some- 

 what even comb-teeth ; inferior claw rather sharply bent, 2 

 points ; legs moderately slender. 



Palpi, paler hue than legs; armature similar ; equal cepha- 

 lothorax in length ; palpal claw straight, free end moderately 

 curved ; 8 rather even comb-teeth. 



Falces and cephalothorax concolorous ; conical, convex, 

 vertical, perceptibly surpass cubital + radial joints of palpus 

 in length, somewhat slighter than femur of a fore-leg. 



MnxillcB yellow-brown, clouded; nearly as broad as long, 

 taper moderately to base ; inclined towards each other. 



Labium yellowish-brown, base chocolate-brown ; rather 

 wider than long, pointed. 



Stermim light-brown, centre stripe broad, undulating, 

 yellow ; cordate, eminences opposite coxal joints. 



Abdomen oviform, base pointed, projects over cephalothorax; 

 hairs fine, sparse ; dorsal field pea-green, few scarlet dots ; 

 anterior pair of the four well-marked impressed spots olive- 

 green, connected by a somewhat angular mark of a similar 

 hue ; almost in line with posterior pair is a semicircular olive- 

 coloured figure, which throws off a series of nearly parallel 

 yellowish vein-like lines, extending to spinners ; lateral margins 

 yellow', numerous brownish nearly vertical lines curve up- 

 wards from ventral surface; shield light chocolate-brown, 

 margin defined by yellow flecks ; on face of shield are two 

 broken parallel yellow bars. Vulva yellow-brown, green 

 tinge ; corpus rapidly developed into a large, flatly convex 

 triangular scapus, transversely wrinkled, rather wider than
