88 licv. F. (). Pickaid-Cambridge on 



hchind the ocular area, convex, not raised, depressed in front, 

 broad, bluffly rounded. 



Clypeus very liigli, half as high again as the ocular area, 

 projecting slightly forwards, smooth, shining. 



Falces twice as long as clypeus, convex at base, inclined 

 beneath the cephalothorax, slightly attenuate and divergent 

 at the apex, furnished on the inner side with a short bristle 

 on either side, and lower down at the angle with a short 

 sharp tooth, its apex set with two fine bristles. Upper 

 margin of fang-groove furnished with five very minute teeth. 

 Fang stout, circular. Basal joint striated on outer side. 



Eyes. — Posterior row straight ; eyes equal, equidistant, one 

 and a half (almost) diameters apart. Anterior row slightly 

 curved, convexity forwards ; centrals slightly smaller, close 

 together, less than half a diameter apart, one full diameter 

 from laterals (fig. 2d). 



jStermtni as long as broad, brown, set with fine black hairs, 

 not very convex, terminating behind between the coxal joints 

 of the fourth pair of legs in a depressed conical point. 



Afaxillui and lahium similar to Tmeticus. 



Legs 4, 1, 2, 3, pale yellow, clothed with fine hairs. 

 Femora without any spines; genual joints with a single, 

 very small, oblique bristle at apex ; tibia? i., ii., iii. with two 

 very fine oblique bristles on the upperside, iv. with a single 

 one on the basal third of the joint. Metatarsi without any 

 spines or bristles. 



Abdomen black, glossy, clothed with short, fine, stitf 

 curving hairs. 



Palpus short ; cubital joint short, convex ; radial longer 

 and broader, globular- convex, granulose, set with fine hairs 

 on the outer side, anterior margin produced into a sharp 

 thorn-like spur, its point depressed on the base of the digital 

 joint (c) ; its inner anterior margin prolonged into a broail, 

 black, rounded prominence, whose apex terminates in a short 

 sharp point (e). Digital joint short, convex, shining, pro- 

 duced at base on inner and upper side into a conical promi- 

 nence {h). Apex of palpal organs furnislied with a short, 

 black, sinuous spine. The falciform process on the outer side 

 at base is small, curving, and black, somewhat concealed 

 under the radial joint (figs. 2 a, a, b, c, d, e). 



This spider, very distinct ps a species, belongs to a group 

 of spiders which lies somewhere not far from Tmeticus and 

 PorrhowmOj but yet, I believe, distinct from them. 



The high clypeus, small teeth on the fang-groove, and the 

 sinole isolated tooth on the Jalx distinuuish it from the
