cimens it nearly touches the front part of the abdomen ; radial 

 joint of palpi short both actually and relatively, with a stoutish, 

 hairy, pointed ]jrojectio7i in front, and a smaller one underneath ; 

 digital joint of moderate size ; palpal organs moderately de- 

 veloped and complicated, ivith a curved black spine near the end 

 on the inner side. 



Adult male. — Length ■— of an inch ; relative length of legs 

 ],4,2,3. 



Cephalothorax. Front part very elevated, the elevation very 

 convex behind, flattened in front, inclined backwards so much as, 

 in most adult males, nearly to touch the abdomen, and com- 

 pressed on the sides close above the lateral pairs of eyes ; there 

 is a slight indentation, behind the eminence, in the medial line. 

 Colour pale murky ochre-yellow ; frontal eminence clouded with 

 brownish, and lateral margins dark brown. 



Eyes eight ; two on the top of the frontal eminence, widely 

 removed from each other ; the other six are placed much lower 

 down (but considerably above the frontal margin, which projects 

 like a ridge over the insertion of the falces) : they are in three 

 pairs, forming one general row ; the eyes of the side pairs are 

 contiguous and placed obliquely ; the intermediate pair are sepa- 

 rate, parallel to the frontal margin, and by far the smallest of 

 the eight ; the rest are nearly uniform in size. The eyes are all 

 seated on small blackish protuberances. 



Legs robust, moderate in length, clothed with hairs, and the 

 third and fourth pairs with a few small black spines; relative 

 length 1, 4, 2, 3. Colour pale murky ochre. The tibise of the 

 first and second pairs tinged with brown. 



Palpi short, same colour as the legs, except the radial and 

 digital joints, which are brown ; radial joint very short, and, 

 relatively, the cubital joint is long ; the former has a short, 

 stoutish, pointed, hairy projection in front, and a smaller one 

 underneath; digital joint short, broad, convex, and hairy out- 

 side; palpal organs reddish brown in colour, moderately deve- 

 loped, prominent, complicated in structure, and with a curved 

 black spine near the extremity on the inner side. 



Falces conical, rather inclined towards the sternum, and with 

 a few teeth on the inner surface ; they are inserted into the fore- 

 head, not in a straight, but in a vandyked suture. 



Maxillce short, convex at the base, and inclined towards the 

 labium. 



Labium semicircular, prominent at the top, and, with the 

 maxillte and falces, pale murky-ochre-ycllow-coloured. 



Sternum broad heart-shaped and convex, with a blackish 

 marffin.
