a lege of the second pair 85; length of a leg of the third 
air 4. 
A The eyes are disposed on the anterior part of the cephalo- 
thorax in two transverse, curved rows, forming a crescent 
whose convexity is directed forwards; the four intermediate 
ones describe a square; and the eyes of each lateral pair are 
seated obliquely on a whitish tubercle, the anterior one being 
the largest of the eight. The cephalothorax is compressed 
before, truncated in front, rounded on the sides, depressed at 
the base, convex, with a few bristles on the anterior part, and 
a row directed forwards from the frontal margin, which pro- 
jects a small oval process between the bases of the falces ; the 
sides are of a dark-brown colour passing into black at their 
posterior part, which is glossy ; and a broad, obscure, reddish- 
brown band extends from the eyes to the bifid extremity of a 
short band at the base, which, with the lateral margins, is 
white. The falces are short, strong, cuneiform, vertical, red- 
brown at the base, with a few bristles towards the inner side, 
white near the middle and black at the extremity. The 
maxille are convex near the base, pointed at the extremity, 
and inclined towards the lip, which is triangular. The colour 
of these parts is dark-brown at the base, and pale reddish- 
brown at the extremity. The sternum is heart-shaped, and 
has a few bristles on each side of its anterior part; it is of a 
dark-brown hue obscurely freckled with yellowish-grey, the 
lateral margins being the darkest. The legs are provided with 
hairs and spines, two parallel rows of the latter occurring on 
the inferior surface of the tibie and metatarsi of the first and 
second pairs, which are much longer and more robust than the 
third and fourth pairs; the second pair slightly surpasses the 
first, and the third pair is the shortest; each tarsus is termi- 
nated by two curved, pectinated claws ; the predominant colour 
of the first and second pairs of these limbs is dark-brown, the 
anterior side and the inferior surface of the femora haying a 
greyish hue, and the extremity of the joints a yellowish-white 
or reddish-white tint; the third and fourth pairs are of a 
yellowish-white colour, and are marked with dark-brown spots 
and annuli; all the tarsi have a reddish-brown hue. The 
palpi are short, and have a curved, pectinated claw at their 
extremity ; they are of a yellowish-white colour, tinged with 
red and spotted with brown, the digital joint having a reddish- 
brown hue. The abdomen is somewhat oviform, moderately 
convex above, broader at the posterior than at the anterior 
extremity, corrugated on the sides and sparingly clothed with 
short dark-coloured hairs; the upper part, which is of a dark 
dull-red colour, has five circular depressions on its anterior
