* Dolomedes palpiger^ sp. n. 



(J. — Colour. Integument of carapace ochre-brown, clotlied 

 with olive-brown hairs above ; cljpeus, sides of head, and 

 margins of thoracic portion clothed with white hairs, forming 

 a broad band; mandibles brownish, clothed with longish 

 jellowish-brown hairs J legs yellowish brown, clothed above 

 with reddish-yellow hairs ; sternum adorned like the legs ; 

 iipperside of abdomen dark, clothed with deep golden-brown 

 hairs, with a narrowish white lateral band extending to the 

 spinners; ventral suiface olive-brown, with yellowish hairs. 



Carapace longer than broad, longitudinally flat above, the 

 posterior area abruptly sloped ; width equal to the length 

 iDetween the posterior border and the posterior lateral eye : its 

 length about equal to half that of the patella -f tibia of second 

 or fourth leg and as that of patella -1- tibia of palp. 



PaJpi long, reaching apex of patella of first leg ; tibia 

 longer than patella, lightly incrassate, armed externally near 

 the apex with a narrow subspiniform process projecting 

 almost at right angles and not abutting against the tarsus, 

 which is as long as the tibia and half the patella, inflated, 

 piriform, and strongly arched. 



Legs long and slender. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 20; length of 

 carapace 10, width ^'D ; length of palp 19, second leg SI, 

 third 46, fourth 57. 



This species may be distinguished from D. transfnga, Poc, 

 from the Benito River (P. Z. S. 1899, p. 869), by the form 

 of the tibial apophysis and the slightly longer palpi. In 

 D. transfuga the palpi scarcely reach the middle of the 

 patella of the first leg, although in the original description 

 they are in error described as extending past the middle of 

 the tibia.

 yellowish-grey hairs; no red hairs on the clypeus or man- 

 dibles, the latter shining black in front, with black setae

 reddish hairs below ; legs blackish, with greyish pubescence
