TITUS LUGENS, sp. n. eae V. figs. 3-3 ¢.) 
Adult female, length 21 lines. 
Cephalothorax bright red- brown, suffused with a darker hue on 
the sides and on the: caput, the fore part of which is nearly black ; 
the surface is thickly covered with small round shining tubercles 
or granulosities, and it is thinly clothed with hairs, of which some 
on the sides and hinder part are white and of a plumose nature. 
Legs yellow tinged with brown; the femora much strongest, 
granulose, as also are the uppersides of coxee. Colour of the femora 
of Ist pair black-brown, of the second pair not so dark, of the 
third and fourth pairs paler and indistinctly banded with darker. 
The tarsi are enlarged slightly and gradually to the ends, which are 
furnished with two claws and a compact claw-tuft. 
Falces deep reddish black-brown, paler at the fore extremity, 
furnished in front with bristly bairs. 
Mawxille and labium yellow-brown. 
Sternum yellow-red, covered thickly with small granulosities like 
the cephalothorax. 
Abdomen coriaceous, covering of the upperside black with a 
central triangular patch of white plumose hairs, two patches of the 
same on the lateral margins, and one at the hinder extremity, sides 
and underside of a paler browner hue. The fore extremity on the 
underside is covered with a coriaceous granulose integument (the 
granulosities much strongest and becoming tubercular at the fore 
end), which forms a short sheath, covering most of the connecting 
pedicle as wel! as the spiracular openings and the genita] aperture. 
For the peculiar form of the abdomen, see generic characters 
wbove ; but whether this is only specific or whether generic, it is 
hard to say in the absence of allied species.
