Numerous adult females from the iipper part of the 

 AysPD Valley, Jan. l^^BT. 



Male. — In the collection were among a great niimber 

 of females of this and the foUowing species two adult males. 

 It is a very difficult matter to know to, which species I oiigth 

 to refer each specimen, when these are by the females as 

 well as by the two males very similar in tlieir characteristics 

 except in the genital organs. On account of the colour I 

 refer to tliis species a male, the pedipalpus of which I have 

 drawn np in the fig. 4, Pl. II. 



The cephalotliorax agrees very much in shape with that 

 of the female, but the side-furrows are a little more distinct. 

 The broad lateral bands are as by the female darkest at the 

 margins, and thus nearly divided into two lateral bands.. 

 The diagram of eyes very similar to that of the female. 

 Cheliceres mnch longer and narrower than by the female, 

 nearly fhrice as long as broad. The onter margin of the 

 claw-furrow with three strong teeth, the inner one with four, 

 of which the apical tooth is much larger than the others. 

 The maxillcf seem to me to be a little more long than broad. 

 Stcntum is very similar to that of the females, but is a little 

 more dark red-browu in the middle than by the majority 

 of the females. Legs 1, 2, 4, o, are yelloAvish without darker 

 rings and spöts. The row of long spines on the tibia and 

 metatarsus of the anterior pair of legs are distinct, but the 

 spines are more fine and hair-like. Ahdou/eii is characterized 

 by the large whitish dorsal area, which has in the posterior 

 part some black döts in the middle-line. No other dark 

 markings on the back. The sides of the abdomen and the 

 venter are coloured as by the female, but the ventral middle- 

 line is not effaced in the middle-line and has only four pairs 

 of very small testaceous döts. The maraillfe is surrounded 

 by a blackish ring. — The pedipalpus conf. Pl. II, tig. 4 a, b.
