Cephcdotliorax light bro^Ynisl■l-yellow, latertil margins and 

 bifurcating band on caput faintly shaded ^Yith brown ; pos- 

 terior end of band anct fovea more darkly pencilled; pars

 limit of caput, occiput perceptibly curved, slope across eye- 

 area. 



Fjyes on oval dark spots ; posterior row moderately re- 

 curved, nearly equidistant, shortest interval between centrals, 

 a space equal to nearly twice an eye's breadth ; latter pair 

 separated from fore-centrals by a somewhat shorter interval ; 

 anterior row more distinctly recurved, median pair rather 

 smaller than hind-pair, and somewhat larger than posterior 

 lateral eyes, divided from each other by nearly their diameter 

 and a half, and from side-eyes by rather less than their space ; 

 laterals posited obliquely, interval between them about equal 

 to space dividing centre pairs ; fore- eye less than half size of 

 posterior. 



Falces brownish-yellow; project at an angle of 45'^, mode- 

 rately convex on inferior and concave on superior side, fore- 

 half somewhat tumid, apex pointed, a strong curved tooth- 

 like process projects above near apex ; 8 teeth in outer row, 6
