60 ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 



Eyes sub-equal, rather closely grouped, in the normal position. 

 The posterior row straight, or as nearly as possible ; the two 

 centrals rather further from each other than from the laterals, 

 the fore-centrals almost contiguous to each other, and the 

 smallest of the eight. The four central eyes form a square, 

 whose fore-side is much the shortest ; all are pearly-white, 

 excepting the fore-central pair, which are suffused with 

 blackish. 



Legs moderately long, rather slender, i, 4, 2, 3, furnished with 

 hairs and one or two slender spines, with some fine bristles on 

 the tibiae of the first and second pairs. Colour pale yellow. 



Palpi similar to the legs in colour, moderately long. Cubital 

 and radial joints about equal in length, the latter rounded and 

 spreading at the fore-margin, which is furnished with a row of 

 coarse bristly hairs ; digital joint large, with a rather prominent 

 sub-conical lobe at its base on the outer side, and another 

 about the middle of the outer side, larger and prominent. The 

 digital joint is furnished with coarse prominent bristles, 

 especially at the base and fore-extremity. The palpal organs 

 are highly developed, complex and prominent, with the whole 

 of their outer side behind encircled by a strongly-curved 

 corneous, somewhat trough-like, process, whose upturned 

 extremity is bifid. 



The Fakes, maxillce, labium, and sternum are normal and of a 

 dull pale yellow colour, like the cephalothorax. 



The abdomen is oval, of a yellow-brown colour, thinly 

 furnished with hairs, some of which on the upper side in front 

 are long and of a bristly nature. 



The colours above given of the male are probably too pale 

 (having become obliterated in spirit of wine), as the female is 

 altogether darker, and in this latter sex the posterior row of eyes 

 appears to be slightly curved, the convexity of the curve directed 

 forwards, and all the eyes are margined strongly with black. 

 The genital process is large and of a sub-triangular form, the 

 apex of the triangle directed backwards. It appears to be 

 composed of two corneous plates superimposed upon each other,
