falces and tlie legs with yellow-bvown ; those of the abdomen 

 biick-red. Sternum, coxse of the legs, and the abdomen 

 below chestnut-black. 



Carapace longer than wide, as long as patella and tibia i. 

 or iv. ; fovea deep, transverse. Eyes of the anterior row 

 slightly procurved, the anterior edge of the medians being 

 a little before the centre of the Literals, the medians being 

 the smaller, nearly a diameter apart, and separated from the 

 laterals by more than 1^ diameter ; posterior medians about as 

 large as the anterior medians, close to the posterior laterals, 

 which are about as large as the anterior laterals and separated 

 from them by a space which is quite equal to the long 

 diameter of the latter. 



Fang-groove with fourteen teeth on the inner margin, the 

 distal three close to the fang-base. 



Stridulating-organ on coxa i. consisting of seven large 

 plumose bristles upon the suture, intermixed with five spines 

 irregularly disposed. Sternum slightly longer than wide, 

 with little, almost obsolete, submarginal posterior sigillse. 



Protarsus i. and ii. scopulated nearly to base; iii. on f ; 

 and iv. with little distal scopula. Tibia i. with 2 apical 

 spines ; ii. with 2 apical, 1 inferior, and 1-1 anterior ; iii. with 

 4 apical, 2-2 inferior, 1-1 anterior, and 1-1 posterior; iv.

Tlie whole spider dusky black, with the large bristles of 

 the falces, legs, and abdomen dark brown. The bristles 

 of the coxae of pedipalps and margins of the fang-groove fiery 

 red. 



Cephalothorax longer than wide, shorter than patella and 

 tibia i., as long as patella and tibia iv. Eyes of the anterior 

 row slightly procurved, the anterior edge of the medians 

 being a little before the centre of the laterals, nearly evenly 

 spaced, the medians being the smaller, separated from eacli 

 other by a s|)ace which equals their diameter ; posterior 

 medians much smaller than the anterior medians, but not 

 very widely separated from them, closer to posterior laterals, 

 which are about as large as the anterior laterals and separated
