to the patella + tibia of a fore-leg, sides moderately rounded, 

 lateral constriction rather sharp ; outline of the pars cepha- 

 lica, viewed from front, semicircular; lateral index nearly 

 equals facial ; ocular eminence prominent ; clypeus in depth 

 visibly exceeds diameter of a fore-central eye ; thoracic inden- 

 tation somewhat diamond-shaped, radial and caput strige well 

 defined. Profile-contour represents a low arch, with a some- 

 what uneven outline. 



Four central eijes form a trapezoid rather wider in front 

 than behind, about as long as broad in front; posterior 

 median pair on oval, greenish spots, sensibly smaller than 

 anterior pair, removed by an interval nearly equal to their 

 space and one-half from laterals, which are one-third smaller 

 than centrals ; posited on dark, medium-sized tubercular emi- 

 nences, separated by an eye's radius. 



Falces fulvous, tinge of pea-green ; somewhat inwardly 

 inclined, stout, length equal to breadth of ocular area. 



Maxillce yellowish-brown, base dusky-olive ; about as long 

 as broad, pointed, inclined over lahium, which has an olive- 

 brown colour, oval. 



Sternum dark mahogany-brown, cordate, moderate emi- 

 nences opposite coxal joints. 



Legs fulvous, more or less tinged with green, few lake- 

 brown streaks and spots; annuli olive-brown, somewhat 

 obscure ; thighs of first and second legs display dark patches 

 on inferior surface. Legs rather slender, moderately armed 

 with fine spines and hairs of a yellowish hue. 



Palpi and legs coucolorous, armature similar. 



The abdomen of this example was too much shrunken for 

 accurate description, but the species will be readily recognised 

 by the characteristic form of the genital organ. Abdomen 

 broad-ovate in outline, humeral tubercles fairly-w^ell deve- 

 loped. It was not possible to determine whether the central 

 posterior tubercle was accompanied by a lateral pair. Ground- 

 colour yellowish pea-green, flecked with small lake dots; 

 folium has a deeper shade, margins lake-brown, somewhat 

 ill-defined ; a subquadrate figure, with a similar tone, occurs 

 midway between humeral tubercles ; petiole broad, tapers 

 towards free end, border lake-brown ; lateral margins of ab- 

 domen approximate to lake-brown, dappled with yellowish- 

 green. Shield on ventral region greenish-brown, border yel- 

 lowish, quadrate. Corpus vulva, light amber-colour, passing 

 abruptly above fovese into lake-brown ; pyriform, fully as 

 broad as long , central third occupied by two rather large 

 fovese, which have prominent beaded margins, divided by a 

 septum about their equal in breadth ; corpus above foveas 

 triangular, somewhat wrinkled, exhibits two small foveae ; 

 superior margin beaded, drawn out into a short point, which
