with long black hairs. The col<iur of the legs is red-hrown ; 

 the femora of the second, third, and fourth ])airs, togetlier with 

 the tibire of the first, are much the darkest, nearly black ; the 

 uppersides of femora, genua, and tibiae of the three hinder 

 pairs are furnished with longitudinal lines of coarse, yellow, 

 sessile luxirs ; relative length 1, 4, .5, 2. 



Palpi stout, but not veiy long, similar to the legs in colour; 

 some coarse yellowish hairs form a ring at the extremities of 

 the cubital and radial joints ; digital joint large. But the 

 palpal organs were too much concealed in the dry specimen 

 for satisfactory observation. 



Falces nearly straight, rather projecting, and a little hollowed 

 on inner sides, strong, equal in length to the height of the 

 facial s])ace ; fang red-brown, not very long nor strong. 



Maxilhe and labium too much concealed to render their 

 structure visible : apparently they were of a dark red-brown 

 colour, furnished Avith a few coarse yellowish hairs. 



Sternmn, long oval, black, with a broad longitudinal central 

 band of yellowish hairs ; this band Avas rather dilated in the 

 middle. 



Abdomen oval, broader at ])osterior than at anterior extre- 

 mity, of a dark brown-black colom* ; the fore half of the upper- 

 side, as well as a space above the spinners, and the underside 

 were thickly clothed with coarse yellowish hairs. 



An adult (^ of this species, remarkable for the tumidity of the 

 tibia) of the lirst pair of legs, is in the Hope Collection, Oxford.
