32 Mr. J. Blackwall on new species of 
ing along each side and the middle. Intermediate eyes of the 
anterior row rather larger than the exterior ones; anterior eyes 
of the quadrilateral the largest of the eight. Legs long, robust, 
provided with hairs and sessile spines ; fourth pair the longest, 
then the first, third pair the shortest ; they are of a reddish brown 
colour. The palpi resemble the legs in colour. Abdomen thickly 
covered with hairs, oviform, rather larger at the posterior than at 
the anterior extremity, convex above, projecting over the base of 
the cephalo-thorax ; it is of a dark brown colour mottled with gray 
on the sides and upper part, a large gray band extending along 
the middle of the latter and tapering to the spinners; this band 
comprises in its anterior part a large, rhomboidal, dark brown 
figure, bifid at its posterior extremity, between which and the 
spinners are several transverse, curved lines of the same colour ; 
under part dark brown. Sexual organs and plates of the spiracles 
reddish brown. 
Lycosa propinqua, though nearly allied to Lycosa andrenivora, 
appears to be distinct from that species. 
3. Lycosa distineta. 
Length of the female 1th of an inch; length of the cephalo- 
thorax +; breadth ,; breadth of the abdomen 4 ; length of a 
posterior leg 3 ; length of a leg of the third pair 3. 
Cephalo-thorax hairy, compressed before, depressed on the 
sides and at the posterior part, with a narrow indentation in the 
medial line; its colour is dark brown, with a broad yellowish 
brown band extending along the middle, which commences at 
the posterior pair of eyes, presents an irregular outline, and is 
narrower at its posterior than at its anterior extremity; a broad 
longitudinal band on each side, and the frontal margin are of the 
same hue as the medial band. Intermediate eyes of the anterior 
row rather larger than the exterior ones; anterior eyes of the 
quadrilateral the largest of the eight. Mandibles conical, ver- 
tical, and armed with teeth on the inner surface: maxille straight, 
gradually enlarged to the extremity, which is rounded: lip 
nearly quadrate, being rather broader at the base than at the 
apex: these parts are yellowish brown, the lip being much the 
darkest. Sternum heart-shaped, dark brown, with numerous 
whitish hairs. Legs long, provided with hairs and sessile spines ; 
fourth pair the longest, then the first, third pair very little 
shorter than the second; they are yellowish brown spotted with 
black. The palpi resemble the legs in colour. Abdomen thickly 
covered with hairs, oviform, convex above, projecting over the 
base of the céphalo-thorax ; it is brown, with a large band of 
yellowish brown along the middle, which is marked witht some 
minute brown spots, and is intersected by several slightly curved
