brown spots on the lateral margins of the sternnm. The legs 

 are long, provided with hairs and spines, and of a brownish- 

 yellow colour, with pale-brown annuli ; the second pair is the 

 longest, then the first, and the third pair is the shortest ; each 

 tarsus is terminated by two curved, minutely pectinated claws, 

 and has a scopula on its inferior surface. The palpi resemble 

 the legs in colour. The abdomen is oviform, broadest in the 

 middle, pointed at the spinners, clothed with short, adpressed, 

 yellowish hairs, convex above, and projects a little over the 

 base of the cephalotliorax ; it is of a yellowish-white colour ; 

 a dark-brown fusiform band extends from the anterior extre- 

 mity along the middle of the upper part nearly half of its 

 length, from a slightly projecting point on each side of which 

 a brown line, enlarged at its extremity, passes obliquely back- 

 wards and downwards ; to this band succeed several curved 

 dark-broAvn lines, which rapidly decrease in length, are some- 

 what enlarged at their extremities, and are followed by a line 

 of the same hue, which terminates in a point at the coccyx ; 

 there are a few irregular dark-brown spots on the sides ; and a 

 streak of a paler brown passes obliquely upwards and out- 

 wards from each side of the coccyx. The sexual organs are 

 moderately developed, with a small, pale, triangular process 

 directed backwards from their anterior margin, and are of a 

 reddish-brown colour, that of the branchial opercula being 

 pale brown, with the exception of the inner margin, which is 

 Avhitish.
