Scytodes Marshalli, sp. n. 



? . — Colour. Fore part of carapace brownish, with two 

 narrow black lines on each side showing through the brown, 

 the inner passing backwards from the median eyes, the outer 

 from the same point over the lateral eyes ; posteriorly the 

 two are more or less confluent with a broad black stripe 

 which extends over the summit of the carapace, is broken up 

 by three or four pale spots, and posteriorly meets its fellow 

 of the opposite side, the two circumscribing a con:^picuous 

 cordate yellow patch on the middle of the carapace ; laterally 

 the carapace is marbled with black and yellow. On the legs 

 the femora and tibiai have three black bands, the proximal 

 and submedian tibial band showing a tendency to coalesce, 

 the patella entirely pale above, but spotted in front ; sternum 

 black, with symmetrical yellow patches; palpi with a strong 

 and complete distal tibial stripe ; abdomen marbled with 

 black laterally and below and in the middle above its anterior 

 and posterior extremity. 



Carapace high posteriorly, hairy, and with about the same 

 length of clypeus as in the preceding species, as long as the 

 tibia of second leg, a little shorter than that of first^ con- 

 siderably longer than patella + tibia of third. 



Abdomen with liorny plates distinct and bordered exter- 

 nally by a thickened rim or crest, each of which runs obliquely 

 inwards and backwards from near the angles of the genital 

 cleft without any very noticeable curvature. (Fig. B, p. 322.) 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 8; carapace 3'5; 

 first leg 16, its tibia 4'5; tibia of second 3*8; patella + tibia 

 of third 3 ; third leg 10-5.
