extent as they approach the spinners; their vertices are di- 
rected forwards, and their extremities are enlarged; the sides 
are marked with oblique streaks of the same hue, the anterior 
one being the broadest ; and there are a few small soot-coloured 
spots on the under part; the spinners are long, especially those 
of the superior pair, which are triarticulate, with the spimning- 
tubes situated on the extremity of the short terminal joint; 
these organs are cylindrical, very prominent, and of a yellowish- 
brown hue tinged with red, the inferior pair being the strongest 
and much the darkest-coloured. The eyes are disposed on the 
anterior part of the cephalothorax in two transverse rows; the 
two intermediate ones of the posterior row, which is almost 
straight, are nearer to each other than they are to the lateral 
eyes of the same row, which are the smallest; the anterior 
row is the shorter, and is curved, having its convexity directed 
upwards; the two intermediate eyes are the largest and 
darkest-coloured of the eight, and the lateral eyes of the two 
rows are separated by a wide interval. The cephalothorax is 
large, convex, depressed towards each extremity, glossy, thinly 
clothed with hairs, compressed before, and rounded on the 
sides, which are marked with slhght furrows converging to- 
wards a narrow indentation in the medial line of the posterior 
region; it is of a reddish-brown colour, with narrow dark- 
brown lateral margins. The falces are powerful, conical, 
nearly vertical, and have a red-brown hue. The maxille are 
convex at the base, rounded at the extremity, near which there 
is an oblique transverse furrow, and are strongly curved to- 
wards the lip, which is long and rounded at the apex; and 
the sternum is oval. These parts have a yellowish-brown hue, 
the lip, which is the darkest, having a tinge of red. The legs 
are moderately robust, provided with hairs and sessile spines, 
and have a yellowish-brown hue; the fourth pair is the longest, 
then the first, and the third pair slightly surpasses the second ; 
each tarsus is terminated by two curved, pectinated claws, and 
has hair-like papille on its inferior surface. The palpi re- 
semble the legs in colour; and the radial, which is rather 
shorter than the cubital joint, projects a small obtuse protube- 
rance from its extremity, on the underside, anda red-brown 
pointed apophysis in front, towards the outer side; the digital 
joint is oval, convex and hairy externally, concave within, 
comprising the palpal organs, which are well developed, with 
a long curved spine on the inner side, whose pointed extremity 
extends beyond the concavity, and a crescent-shaped process 
towards the outer side, whose longer limb is recurved at its 
extremity; their colour is dark reddish-brown mixed with 
yellowish-brown.
