me; but the type of this new species difFers from the females, 

 and no doubt also from tlie males, of these two forms at least 

 in the coloration of the underside of the anterior legs and 

 palpi. The points in which it differs from the males of tlie 

 other known species may be summarized as follows: — 



(( First leg long, longer than the fourth, nearly four times 

 as long as the carapace (14| : So), its femur slightly 

 longer than carapace, its patella+tibia longer than, 

 and protarsus+tarsus about equal to, those of fourth ; 

 palpus scarcely surpassing its middle ; (protarsus of 



first sinuous, with inferior silky tuft of hairs) yriseipes. 



b. First leg short, shorter than fourth, less than three and 

 a half times as long as carapace, which slightly exceeds 

 its femur ; its patella+tibia and protarsus + tarsus less 

 than those of fourth ; palpus considerably surpassing 

 its middle. 

 a}. Legs strongly spotted ; palpus long, slightly sur- 

 passing tibia of first leg, its patella -I- tibia con- 

 siderably longer than carapace, which equals its 

 tibia + tarsus ; fourth leg four times as long as cara- 

 pace, which is equal to its tibia and less than its 

 protarsus ; protarsus of first with basal inferior tuft 



of silky hairs and tubercular excrescence Bafesii. 



i\ Legs weakly spotted except on protarsus and tarsus ; 

 palpus short, falling short of tip of tibia of first leg, 

 its patella+tibia equal to its tibia+tarsus, much 

 shorter than carapace ; fourth leg much less than 

 foru- times as long as carapace, which exceeds its 

 protarsus ; protarsus of first without inferior proximal 

 silky tuft and tubercular excrescence brachypoda. 



Genus Harpactira, Auss. 

 Ilarpactira Ilamiltoni, sp. n. 



^ . — Colour greyish mouse-brown, with silky golden lustre ; 

 carapace black, clothed witii golden-yellow hairs, showing a 

 definite radial arrangement ; sternum and coxaj blackish ; 

 hairs on underside of femora foxy red. 



Carapace a little shorter than patella + tibia of first leg, 

 equal to those of fourth. 



Tibial apophysis of first le(/ not straight, but somewhat 

 strongly bent or geniculate, its basal half on the outer side 

 showing a deep notch ; protarsus of first leg with its outer 

 surface convex, its inner surface concave, armed distally 

 below with a high tuberculiform prominence. Spine of ])alpal 

 organ stouter and more strongly curved than that of //. tigrina 

 and curator. 



On the external side of the mandible the inferior row of 

 stridulatiug-spines forms a single series close to the oral 

 fring-e.
