and the labium are verv similar to that of the group AranecB. 

 The anterior legs are very characteristical by having an 

 armatur e of in a row ärran ged long spines on the inner side 

 of the three distal joints. ^ The claws are different on the 

 anterior and the posterior legs. On the anterior legs the 

 superior claws (conf. Pl, III, iig. 1 c) are long, a little curved 

 and have short and iine teeth along their whole length. On 

 the posterior legs (conf. Pl. III, fig. 1 d) these claws are 

 without teeth in their apical parts. The inferior claw has a 

 long down-bended apex and at the base one short tootli. On

Feniale. — Ccplialofhorax is broad oval, nearly heart- 

 shaped, very long tapering towards the front, which is a 

 little broader than the half of the broadest part of the pars 

 thoracica. The pars cephalica is high convex; the side-furrows 

 are indistinct. In the middle of the jjars thoracica is a very 

 small transrcrse impression. The clypeus is about as high as 

 the diameter of the anterior lateral eyes. Especiallj' in the 

 area of ej^es white hairs. The colour is påle testaceous. On 

 each side a blackish longitudinal Ijroad band, which is blackest 

 at the margins, the intermediate part is often more or less 

 effaced, sometimes there are two bands on each side. 



Eycs. — The front-row is verj- little recurved; the middle- 

 eyes much smaller than the other eyes; tlie intervals between 

 the anterior eyes nearly equal and a little broader than the 

 diameter of the anterior middle-eyes. The two lateral eyes 

 nearly equal in size and separared by a distance about twice 

 as long as the diameter of the anterior lateral eye. The 

 hind-row recurved, the ej^es and the intervals between them 

 about equal in size a little broader than the diameter of the 



' By the males the.se spines are much lincr and slondcr.
