infuscate on each side of the middle line above, and clothed 

 above and at the sides with yellowish or reddish metallic 

 hairs. 



Carapace high ; height from inferior edge up to lower 

 border of posterior eye equal to length of ocular area ; width 

 about three quarters its length, length from clypeus to poste- 

 rior border greater than length of tibia of second and third leg 

 and than patella and tibia of fourth ; ocular quadrangle a little 

 wider in front than behind, its anterior width a little greater 

 than its length. Eyes of middle line a little farther from 

 anterior laterals than from posterior eyes, their lower edge 

 in a straight line with that of the posterior eyes and with 

 the upper border of the anterior laterals ; the latter almost 

 touching anterior medians ; the lower rims a little higher 

 than the centre of the medians, and the upper rims above the 

 upper rims of the medians ; clypeus less than length of radius 

 of anterior medians. 



Mandibles long, strong, and diverging; basal segment 

 almost as long as carapace ; posterior edge of fang-groove 

 armed with about 12 longer and shorter teeth (differing in 

 number and position on the right and left sides), and a large 

 subquadrate tooth near the distal end ; anterior border armed 

 with a few small teeth near the base and a long strong spike 

 about one fourth of the distance from the distal end ; close to 

 the joint of the fang there is also a blunt prominence and a 

 small marginal spinule; fang long, strongly curved, with a 

 triangular tooth on its lower edge just beyond the middle. 



MaxillcB with convexly rounded external angle. Palpi 

 long and slender, considerably longer than carapace ; femur 

 bowed ; tibia one third longer than patella and nearly twice 

 as long as tarsus, with the normal external distal spine ; 

 basal half of tarsus swollen, distal half cylindrical. 



Legs 1, 3, 2, 4, long and slender, second reaching to middle 

 of tibia of first ; fourth just past end of tibia of third, first 

 about twice as long as second ; patella and tibia of third about 

 equal to those of second, much greater than the fourth ; coxa 

 of first about twice as long as that of second ; patellai with 

 anterior and posterior spine ; protarsus and tarsus of fourth 

 a little greater than patella and tibia of fourth. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 13; length of 

 carapace 6, width 4'5 ; length of basal segment of mandible 5, 

 fang 4; length of first leg 34, second leg 17, third l^g 19, 

 fourth leg 14, palp 8. 



A single adult male obtained by Mr. C. M. Woodford, 

 probably in Shortlaud Island. 



This species appears to differ from all those from New
