ON NEW AND RARE ARACHNIDS. 51 



Eyes of hinder row small, and in nearly a straight transverse 

 line, longer than that of the anterior row. The interval 

 between the two central eyes of this row is less than that 

 between each and the lateral eye next to it. The eyes of the 

 anterior row are large, the two centrals largest ; the intervals 

 between them are small and about equal, and the four form a 

 curve whose convexity is directed forwards. The four central 

 eyes form very nearly a square. 



The Legs are moderate in length and strength 4, 1, 2, 3. 

 2 and 3 are almost of equal length. Colour dark red-brown, 

 rather lighter than that of the Cephalothorax ; they are 

 furnished with moderately strong spines, of which those on 

 the inferior surface of the tibial and metatarsi of the two 

 anterior pairs of legs form two longitudinal parallel rows. 

 On the tibiae of the first pair of legs are 6 pairs, on that of the 

 second 5 pairs of spines, and on the metatarsi of both pairs are 

 two pairs of spines. The tarsi end with a short, compact, 

 dense claw- tuft, and (so far as could be seen) with two terminal 

 claws. 



Palpi rather short, strong, similar to the legs in colour. The 

 cubital joint is short, rounded, and nodiform, the radial longer 

 and stronger, and much enlarged on its outer side, which 

 terminates in a kind of short broad apophysis, whose extremity' 

 is of a somewhat bifid or trifid form ; inside this and nearer to 

 the base of the digital joint is a longer, strong apophysis, 

 enlarged, rounded, and shiny at its extremity (but this is in 

 reality a portion of the digital joint), and beneath the radial 

 joint is another of about the same length as that last men- 

 tioned, enlarged at its base, but much slighter and bifid at its 

 extremity (the form and relative sizes and position of these 

 apophysis are very difficult to observe and describe accurately; 

 the drawing of these parts will help to give a better idea of 

 them). The digital joint is large and long, longer than the 

 radial and cubital joints together, and of an elongate-oval 

 form. The palpal organs are well developed, but simple. 



Falces powerful, straight, long, projecting ; rounded and 

 prominent at their base in front, and similar in colour to the
