Species of Oriental MygalomorpliEe. 177 



lateral or lialf the diameter of the median ; eyes of posterior 

 row recurved, the lateral separated from the anterior lateral 

 by at least twice their diameter, and much smaller than them ; 

 the median nearly as large as the lateral, and very distinctly 

 separated from them. 



Labium very wide, densely splnulose, its width almost 

 equal to half the posterior length of the maxilla, and nearly 

 twice as great as the distance between the posterior sternal 

 impressions. 



Sternum oval, only a little longer than wide. 



Mandible not scopulate externally, but furnished behind 

 with a depressed setose area ; strikers composed of a large 

 number of stout spiniform, but apically filiform, setse, lying- 

 above behind and fusing with the fringe, the groove for 

 the fang granular behind and bordered externally with 12 

 stout teeth ; the keys on the maxilla composed of a long 

 cluster of numerous club-shaped rods, which proximally and 

 distally decrease in size and blend with the hairs of the fringe 

 lying above them. 



Legs unspined, except on the apices of the protarsi ; length 

 4, 1, 2, 3, the fourth longer than the first by nearly twice the 

 length of the former's tarsus ; all the legs rather slender ; 

 scopula3 narrow, that on the third protarsus covering about 

 half the segment, that on the fourth protarsus covering about 

 one third of the segment and completely divided ; scopula 

 on fourth tarsus divided by a very narrow band of setae; patella 

 of first and of fourth about equal ; tibisB very unequal ; protarsi 

 of fourth longer than tarsus and protarsus of first, and just 

 about equal to the width of the carapace, the patella and 

 tibia of fourth slightly exceeding the length of carapace ; the 

 long hairs on the posterior legs straight and not woolly. 



Posterior spinner a little longer than the fourth tarsus, its 

 apical segment one third longer than the second. 



Measurements in niillimetres. — Length of carapace 21, 

 width 17 ; length of abdomen 31, width 19 ; length and width 

 of sternum 8'8 ; width of labium 4*3, length 2'o ; length of 

 palp 41*8, of first leg 62, of second 53, of third 50" 2, of fourth 

 74 ; first leg : femur 14'5, patella 9, tibia 10"5, protarsus 9, 

 tarsus 6 ; fourth leg : femur 16'2, patella 9, tibia 12'2, pro- 

 tarsus 17, tarsus 8*2. 



Log. Major's Creek, Townsville in Queensland. One 

 example. 



This spider was discovered by Mr. Dodd S. Clarke at a 

 distance of two feet below the surface of the ground. It 

 was kindly presented to the British Museum by Mr. Florence
