Tmeticus Carpenteri sp. n. 



Adult male, length \\ lines. Adult female, 2J lines. 



Cephdlothorax of male oval, much broader than long, obtuse and 

 rounded in front ; lateral marginal constrictions at caput very 

 slight. Caput moderately convex, a very slight dip in the profile 

 line just in front of the thoracic junction. Clypeus impressed 

 just below the eyes, sloping forwards and equal in height to half 

 that of the facial space. Colour yellow-brown, the normal indenta- 

 tions indicated by dusky brown converging lines. 



Eyes on black spots, moderately closely grouped together in two 

 transverse lines, the posterior line straight, the anterior shortest and 

 curved. The eyes of the posterior row are equi-distant from each 

 other, the intervals being an eye's diameter in extent, the four 

 central eyes form a trapezoid, whose length is equal to its greatest 

 width (behind) ; the fore-central eyes are smallest, near together, 

 but not contiguous to each other. Those of each lateral pair are 

 contiguous to each other and seated rather obliquely on a slight 

 tubercle. 



Legs 1, 4, 2, and 3 moderately long, rather slender, furnished 

 with hairs ; on the genual joints one, and on the tibial joints two 

 slender In'istle-Iike spines ; of the latter one is in front towards 

 the hinder end, the other at the fore-end. rather on the inner side. 

 Colour similar to that of the cephalothorax. 



Palpi rather short ; the cubital and radial joints very short, but 

 of equal length; the latter is strongest and a little produced in front, 

 dilated at the fore extremity, with a small subangular prominence 

 on the outer side, where there are some strongish bristly hairs ;
