210 Transac tions . —Zoology . 



convex, lateral index slightly longer than facial ; chjiJcus in- 

 wardly inclined, rather shorter than ocular area ; thoracic 

 groove longitudinal, moderately deep ; radial stria lake- 

 coloured, sensibly indented. Contour of profile ascends from 

 petiole to occiput at an angle of 25 degrees, representing a 

 double curve, the greater being across occiput. 



Eyes on dark spots ; posterior row slightly procurved, of 

 nearly equal size ; middle pair separated by rather more than 

 an eye's radius, visibly less than their diameter from laterals ; 

 anterior row recurved ; centrals dark, much the smallest of 

 eight, posited, their radius apart, on a large, black, cordate 

 mark ; plainly more than their diameter from side-eyes of 

 same row ; lateral pairs have the opalescence of hind-centrals ; 

 seated contiguously on dark, tubercular prominences. 



Falces dark amber - colour, conical, divergent, directed 

 visibly towards maxillee, nearly as long as tarsus of second leg. 



Maxilla shade lighter than falx ; base greenish-brown ; of 

 somewhat even breadth, pointed, inclined towards each other. 



Lahium fuscous, yellowish margins ; semicircular. 



Sternum fuscous-lake ; clathrate ; cordate, prolonged be- 

 tween coxge of fourth legs. 



Legs light-fulvous, faint indications of annuli. Hairs pale- 

 yellow, sparse ; sparingly armed with light-coloured spines. 



Paljn yellowish-amber tone ; humeral joint slightly dilated 

 towards extremity, one-fourth longer than two following articles 

 together; cubital joint somewhat campanulate, projects one 

 slender bristle ; radial cup-shaped, rather longer and much 

 stouter than preceding article ; pars digitalis about twice as 

 long as penultimate joint; lamina acute-ovate, moderately 

 haired, produced on outer side into a dark, sharply backward- 

 curved process, of fair size ; bulbus genitalis yellowish, stained 

 with lake ; viewed from outer side globose, somewhat elon- 

 gated, extremity truncated, margin roundly emarginate ; 

 lower part produced into a short, round- tipped process ; pro- 

 jecting forwards from within the vase -like bulb is a semi- 

 transparent, stout, pointed process, revolute beneath, whose 

 apex reaches nearly to extremity of clava. 



Abdomen elongate-oviform ; hairs light, short, fine, some- 

 what sparse ; pale olive-yellow, spotted with flecks approxi- 

 mating to cream-colour ; folium occupies dorsal area, has a 

 rather deeper tone than ground-colour, specific markings olive- 

 brown, somewhat obscure ; basal third bordered and traversed 

 by more or less faint and interrupted lines ; central third 

 marked with two transverse bands deepening in shade at ex- 

 tremities ; two creamy spots occur between bands ; posterior 

 third bounded by dense shading, displays three clusters of 

 confluent creamy flecks, intercepted by a continuous, narrow 

 medial stripe ; inferior half of lateral margins olive-brown.
