Its eyes are seated on black spots, and are disposed on the 
anterior part of the cephalothorax in two transverse rows; the 
_ four intermediate ones, which are placed on a small prominence, 
nearly form a square, and the two anterior ones are rather the 
smallest and darkest of the eight ; the eyes of each lateral pair 
are seated obliquely on a tubercle, and are contiguous. The 
cephalothorax is oval, convex, glossy, with an indentation in the 
medial line of the posterior region; the falces are conical and 
vertical; the maxille are obliquely truncated at the extremity, 
on the outer side, and inclined towards the lip, which is tri- 
angular; the palpi are moderately long, hairy, and terminated 
by a curved pectinated claw. These parts have a pale dull yel- 
_ lowish hue; and the legs, judging from some of the coxe and 
femora and portions of the tibiz, are of the same colour.

The cephalothorax is somewhat compressed before, rounded 
in front and on the sides, moderately convex, glossy, with a 
shallow indentation in the medial line of the posterior region ; 
it is thinly clothed with short hairs, and of a dark red-brown 
colour. The falces are conical, prominent, and armed with a 
long curved fang and a few small teeth on the inner surface ; 
_ the maxille are straight, greatly enlarged at the base, where the 
palpi are inserted, and pointed at the extremity; and the lip is 
long and notched at the apex. These parts are of a dark red- 
brown colour, the maxille being the palest. The sternum is 
oval, and has a red-brown hue, the margins being rather the 
darkest. The legs are long, moderately robust, glossy, sparingly 
clothed with hairs, and the tibie, metatarsi, and tarsi of the 
third and fourth pairs are provided with spines, a few short ones 
also occurring near the base of the femora of the latter on the 
upper surface ; they have a yellowish-red hue, the metatarsi and 
tarsi of the third and fourth pairs being the palest; the first 
pair is the longest, then the fourth, and the third pair is the 
shortest ; each tarsus is terminated by two curved slightly pec- 
tinated claws, and below them there is a small scopula; the
