102 SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 



median, longitudinal, dull yellowish-brown, somewhat arrow-headed marking, continued in an 

 attenuated line of the same colour to the spinners ; a little way from this, on each side, is an 

 indistinct, longitudinal broad band clothed with coppery-red-hairs ; the spinners are moder- 

 ately long and strong, and of a pale yellow-brown colour. The form of the genital aperture 

 is characteristic.

127. MENEMERTJS FRIGIDTJS, sp. n. 



Adult female : length 2| miles. 



The ccphalothorax is short, though distinctly longer than broad, and of the usual flattish 

 form ; the upper side is dark- brown, tinged with yellowish, the caput being the darkest, and 

 there is a larger longitudinal patch of brownish-yellow on the middle; the sides are yellow, 

 with a narrow white marginal border; the whole is thinly clothed with sandy-grey and 

 whitish hairs. 



The eyes of the posterior row form a line scarcely, if at all, longer than the anterior row, 

 and the middle row is nearer to the anterior than to the posterior one. Those of the anterior 

 row are of a dull mother-of-pearl colour, and are divided by distinct intervals ; that which 

 separates the central pair is less than that which divides each from the lateral eye next to it. 



The legs are rather short, and not very strong ; those of the first pair are a little stronger 

 but distinctly shorter than the fourth pair, if, indeed, they be not also slightly shorter than 

 the third, the second pair being the shortest ; they are of a brownish-yellow colour, and are 

 armed with a few spines, as well as with bristles and hairs. 



The jfl/pi are short, slender, yellow, and clothed with whitish hairs. 



The/o/W* are short, straight, projecting, and of a yellow-brown colour. 



The maxillae and labium are rather paler than the falces, and the sternum is similar to 

 the legs in colour. 



The abdomen is oval, and of a dull yellowish hue, marked irregularly with brown along the 

 sides of the upper part, and with a longitudinal brown stripe along the middle of the fore 

 part; this stripe is bifid at its hinder extremity, and followed by a series of brown, sharply- 

 angular bars, some of which run into the brown markings on the sides. The form of the 

 genital aperture is characteristic-

Genus ATTUS, E. Simon. 



128. ATTUS DEVOTUS, sp. n. 



Adult female : length If lines. 



The cephalothorax is of a slightly flattened form ; the hinder slope is short, and at about 

 an angle of 45; the forward slope of the caput being slight, and but very little convex ; 

 its colour is yellow-brown, darkest on the upper part of the caput, and it is clothed with 

 yellowish and grey hairs intermixed; the lateral margins are black, immediately above 

 which is a not very broad band of white hairs, and a similar band or stripe runs along the 

 middle of the hinder slope to the occiput. The clypeus is very low and retreating.
