which are three diameters of their median distant from them. The Clypeus is 
the breadth of a front median eye. Both lateral eyes are nearly sessile. 
The Mandibles are slightly kneed at the base, the fangs short and weak. 
The Lip is broader than long, less than half the length of the Maxillae, which 
are rather widely divergent at their anterior ends. The Stevnum is broad shield 
shaped, convex, hollowed at the margin for the coxae, and pointed at the 
rear end, where the coxae are contiguous. 
The Legs are tapering to the tarsal joints, which are fine, cylindrical, and 
rather short. The tarsal joint of the Palpi is flat and dilated at the base, and 
the palpal claw has about four pectinations. The tibial and patellar joints are 
of equal length. 
The Abdomen is nearly globular, but one-fifth longer than broad, the 
surface is silky and rather finely granulated. The Spinnerets conical, two 
jointed, rather large.

One non-adult female from Yiin-t’ing Shan, North China, to which it is 
not desirable to attach a name, although the species belongs to a series in the

The Cephalothorax has a wide oblong area of pale yellow reaching from 
the margin of the Clypeus to the top of the rear slope. A similarly coloured 
narrow stripe passes round the edge of the cephalic part with fine white hairs 
thereon, the space intervening between the two being blotchy brown. The 
Mandibles, Lip, Maxillae, and Sternum bright canary yellow; Legs and Palpi 
the same, with clusters of brown spots on the femora and tibiae, grey spines 
and grey scopulae on the tarsi. The Abdomen is pale yellow on both upper
