the middle of the posterior part. Mandibles subconical, vertical, 
hairy in front, brown, with two black spots near the base of each. 
Maxille gibbous near the base, on the under side, somewhat 
pointed at the extremity, inclined towards the lip, of a yellowish 
brown colour. Lip triangular, rounded at the apex, dark brown. 
Sternum heart-shaped, pale yellowish brown. Legs long, pro- 
vided with hairs and sessile spines ; they are of a yellowish brown 
colour spotted with brownish black, particularly on the upper 
side; second pair the longest, then the first, which a little ex- 
eeeds the third, fourth pair rather the shortest. Each tarsus is 
terminated by two curved, pectinated claws, and is provided. with 
a climbing apparatus. The palpi resemble the legs in colour. 
Abdomen broader in the posterior than in the anterior region, 
but pomted at the spinners; it is thickly covered with hairs, and 
its anterior extremity, which projects a little over the base of the 
cephalo-thorax, is notched in the middle; the upper part is yel- 
lowish gray, with a longitudinal dark brown band, which has an 
angular projection on each side, near the middle, extending from 
the anterior extremity about half-way towards the spimners; to 
this band succeeds two distinct, parallel series of oblique bars of 
the same hue, which diminish in extent as they approach the 
spinners, and are enlarged and confluent. at the extremities; and 
the whole is encompassed by a brownish black band which does 
not quite extend to the spmners ; four dark brown depressions, 
situated on the sides of the anterior, medial, dark brown band, 
two contiguous to its lateral, angular projections, and the other 
two, which are the largest, near its posterior extremity, form a 
trapezoid whose shortest side is before ; sides and under part yel- 
lowish gray, the former being minutely spotted with dark brown.

Eyes disposed on the anterior part of the cephalo-thorax in 
two curved transverse rows, forming a crescent, whose convexity 
is directed forwards ; the lateral eyes of the posterior row, which 
-are seated on small tubercles, are rather the largest, and the in- 
termediate eyes of the same row are rather the smallest of the 
eight. Cephalo-thorax nearly circular, but compressed before, 
truncated in front, and abruptly sloping behind; it is convex, 
thinly covered with yellowish gray hairs, and has a broad yel-
