One male, from Roebourne, North-west Australia. 



Arhanitis maculipes, sp. n. 



Cephalothorax yellow-brown, with three narrow darker 

 brown lines reaching from the fovea to the eye-space ; man- 

 dibles dark red-brown. Sternum, lip, and maxilla3 dark 

 yellow, inclining to brown ; the legs are yellow ; on the 

 outer side at the anterior extremity of the femora of palpi and 

 first and second pairs of legs is a dark biown patch, also 

 similar smaller patches at base and middle of tibia and base 

 of metatarsus and tarsus of same pairs of legs. 



The abdomen is dark brown above, with yellow patches at 

 each side anteriorly, dark brown with yellow chitinous parts 

 underneath. Spinnerets yellow. 



The cephalothorax is a long oval, truncate in front, the 

 cephalic part highest about the middle of the longitudinal 

 median line, thence sloping to the cephalic fovea, which is 

 straight, but slightly curved round the base of the cephalic 

 part. 



The rear row of eyes is straight, the median their short 

 diameter from the laterals and front median, and their distance 

 from one another equals the total width of the front median 

 pair. The latter are not quite their diameter apart ; the line 

 touching their lowest points also touches the highest points 

 of the front laterals^ which are, however, quite clear of them 

 sideways. The front laterals are larger than the rear laterals, 

 whose long diameter eqtials the front median. The clypeus
