shorter than patella and tibia of first leg, and also shorter 

 than those of fourth leg, as long as tarsus and protarsus of 

 third, exceeding protarsus and tarsus of first, and tibia, pro- 

 tarsus, and tarsus of palp ; its width a little less than length 

 of fourth protarsus and a shade more than that of patella and 

 tibia of third leg. Clypeus about one fourth the length of 

 the ocular tubercle. 



Legs 4, 1, 2, 3, fourth exceeding first by half the length of 

 its tarsus, patella and tibia of first longer than of fourth, 

 protarsus of fourth equal to protarsus and three fourths of the 

 tarsus of the first ; tibiee of all legs with a pair of inferior 

 apical spines, protarsi of third and fourth with about five 

 spines at the apex and three or four in the proximal half near 

 the base of the scopula ; protarsus of first leg convex above at 

 the base ; palpus normal, its tibia with one internal apical 

 spine. Palpal bulb less spherical than in H. atra and chryso- 

 gaster, the posterior side of the spine continuous with that of 

 the bulb. 



? . — Coloured as in male. 



Carapace exceeding in length patella and tibia of first as 

 well as of fourth leg, less than tarsus and protarsus of fourth, 

 distinctly less than tibia, protarsus, and tarsus of third, and 

 shorter by half the length of the tarsus than the same seg- 

 ments of the second leg; width just equal to tibia and pro- 

 tarsus of third leg, length from fovea to anterior border equal 

 to patella and tibia of third leg. 



Stridulating-organ on mandible consisting of an upper 

 series of seven bristles running obliquely downwards across 

 the naked space and of a lower irregular series of about nine 

 shorter bristles presenting a distinct sigmoidal curve, the four 

 posterior being shorter than the rest, a little further removed 

 from the marginal bristles, and in a straight line. Marginal 

 teeth on the mandible consisting of a series of eleven larger 

 and smaller, with a few granuliform teeth at the posterior end. 



Measurements in millimetres. — $ . Total length 30 ; length 

 of carapace 15, width 11*8 ; length of first leg 37, of second 

 33'5, of third 31, of fourth 41 ; patella and tibia of first 14, 

 of fourth 13*5 ; tarsus and protarsus of fourth 16. 



<$ . Total length 25; length of carapace 13, width 11; 

 length of first leg 41, of second 3G, of third 33, of fourth 44;
