nates in a point; it has a pale-yellow hue, with dark brown 
lateral margins. The legs, which are long, slender, and pro- 
vided with hairs and a few spines, were so greatly mutilated, 
with the exception of those of the first and third pairs, that their 
relative length could not be satisfactorily determined; the tarsi 
are terminated by claws of the usual number and structure. 
The palpi are short, of a yellow hue tinged with brown, and 
have a curved pectinated claw at their extremity. The abdomen 
is of an oblong-oval form, moderately convex above, projecting 
a little over the base of the cephalothorax, and is somewhat pro- 
minent at its posterior extremity, above the spmners ; the upper 
part, for more than a third of its length from the anterior ex- 
tremity, is of a yellowish-white colour finely reticulated with 
brown, and is crossed by three transverse, slightly smuous, dark 
brown bands, the intermediate one being rather the shortest and 
narrowest ; these bands are succeeded by a broad, sinuous, dark 
brown band, of an orange-brown hue at its posterior margin, 
and comprising white spots of a silvery lustre, disposed trans- 
versely ; a whitish band follows, having near its anterior margin 
a shorter, transverse, soot-coloured line; the posterior part, 
which has a dark brown hue, comprises white spots of a silvery 
lustre, and is crossed by two rather obscure, narrow, orange- 
brown bands, and a greatly curved, irregular, whitish one above 
the spinners ; all the bands, with the exception of the second 
from the anterior extremity, are in contact with a fine, irregular, 
dark brown line extending along the upper part of each side ; 
the sides have a yellow-brown hue, freckled with dull yellowish 
white, and spotted with dark brown in the posterior region ; 
the under part is of a dark brown colour, with an irregular, 
longitudinal, whitish band, finely reticulated with brown, on 
each side; the space included between these bands, which is 
broadest and darkest at its posterior extremity, comprises in its 
anterior part six whitish spots disposed in pairs ; the spmners 
have a reddish-yellow hue. 
Though the specimen from which the foregoing description 
was made had not arrived at maturity, yet there can be little 
doubt of its specific distinctness.
