— HMO — 
Abdomen greyish-brown, spotted above and at the sides with yellow; the sigilla black; the lower 
surface from the epigastrie fold to the spinners occupied by a posterially narrowing fuscous stripe 
a little darker in tint than the area external to it and defined by a thin whitish line; ster- 
num, mouth-parts and lower surface of legs, with the exception of the dark grey scopulae, 
rufous; mandibles metallic bluish black; palpi black; legs reddish brown, indistinetly mottled 
on the femora, white spots at the base of the spines; upper sides of coxae and trochanters 
yellow with a pair of fuscous spots. 
Carapace longer than broad, its length equal to that of the tibia of the 24 Jeg, 
much excelling that of the 34, considerably higher than in H#. venatoria, its sides and back 
somewhat abruptly sloped, anterior central eyes rather smaller than in venatoria. 
Mandibes very prominent, strongly geniceulate at the base, much more so than in 
venatoria. 
Legs shorter than in venatoria, the 2" not four times as long as the carapace (in 
venatoria it is about 5 times as long). 
Spine armature the same as in A. venatoria except that there is no spine on the 
posterior side of the patella. 
Vulva presenting anteriorly an arched ridge, the concavity of which looks backwards: 
the ends of this ridge pass into a pair of thick, elevated, striate skeletal pieces, which ap- 
proach each other and touch in the middle line in front, their posterior inner angles, howe- 
ver, diverge and are not in contact; from the middle of the concavity formed by the ridge 
a process runs directly backwards and passes beneath the lateral pieces, where they are in 
contact, extending half-way towards their posterior extremity. 
Measurements in millimetres. Total length 30, length of carapace 12.5, width 
11, width at base of mandibles 6.8, length of abdomen 15.5, width 10, length of 1% leg 
46, of md 48, of 3-4 41, of 4% 43 (all measured from base of femur). 
Loc. Soah Konorah (Halmahera). A single female example. 
This large and handsome species, equalling, if not excelling, H. venatoria in size, 
approaches H. cervina of L. Koch (Die Arachniden Austral., p. 673, pl. IV, fig. 4) from 
Queensland in having the legs shortish, the carapace high and a dark band on the lower 
side of the abdomen. In cervina however, the colour is different, the mandibles not promi- 
nent, the vulva differently formed and the carapace is longer than the tibia of the 24 leg.
