eves of the first row, and is brown with long 

 white liairs. The falces are long and strongly 

 bowed, approaching each other at the extremi- 

 ties. Thev have ridges of stiff hairs, as in 

 T. barbata, on the front faces, w-hich are 

 light brown in color and grow longer and 

 thicker in the lower than in the upper half. 

 The palpus is long and slender, the tibia 

 being much longer than the tarsus. The 

 patella and tibia are much lighter in color 

 than the femur and tarsus. The legs are 

 brown, the first and second pairs being darker 

 than the third and fourth. 



We have one male from Zululand, 

 given to us by Rev. Henry C. McCook. 



MoNCLOVA, gen. nov. 



The cephalothora.x is long, with nearly- 

 parallel sides, which narrow a little at 

 the posterior end. It is moderately high 

 at the third row of eyes, from which 

 point it slopes abruptly in both directions, 

 but more steeply behind than in front. 

 The quadrangle of the eyes occupies 

 nearly half of the cephalothorax, is a 

 little wider behind than in front, and is 

 one-third wider than long. The first 

 row is very slightly curved downward, 

 with the middle eyes subtouching and 

 less than twice as large as the lateral, 

 which are a little separated from them. 

 The second row is about halfway be- 

 tween the first and the third. The third 

 row is as wide as the cephalothorax. 

 The falces are vertical and parallel. 

 The sternum is oval, truncated in front, 

 and narrows in front and behind. The 

 first coxae are separated by the width of 

 the labium, which is about as wide as 

 long. 



The type is a new species from South 

 Africa, M. bi-aunii. 



MONCLOVA BRAUNII, Sp. nOV. 



?. Length 7 mm. Legs 4312, the third 

 and fourth plainlv longer than the first and 

 second. 



Tlie spider is covered with a mixture of 

 white, black, and bright rufus hairs, the dif- 

 ferent colors predominating on different 

 parts so as to form the markings. Thus the 

 cephalic plate is bright rufus and the middle 

 line on the thoracic part pure white, while 

 the abdomen shows a white band around the 

 anterior end, and, on the posterior part of the 

 dorsum, wide alternating transverse bands 

 of rufus and black. These bands are not 

 parallel but run upward and forward from 

 the sides. The clypeus has long white hairs, 

 and these are continued, rather sparsely, on 

 to the falces. The legs are not conspicuous, 

 being of a light brown color with darker 

 rings and white hairs. The light brown pal- 

 pus is covered with white hairs. 



We have four females, sent by Dr. 

 Braun, from Cape Colony. 



UNIDENTATI. 

 Jasoda, gen. nov. 



The cephalothorax is high, with the 

 sides nearly vertical and not far from 

 parallel, although there is a slight swell- 

 ing at the dorsal eyes, beyond which 

 there is a very gradual contraction to- 

 ward the posterior end. The cephalic 

 part is a little inclined forward and the 

 thoracic rounds off directly behind the 

 dorsal eyes, failing more steeply after 

 the first half. The quadrangle of the 

 eyes occupies two-fifths of the cephalo- 

 thorax, is nearly twice as wide as long,
