Posterior median ei/es about a tliird of a long diameter 

 apart, the clypeus slightly less than a lateral eye's diameter. 



Lerjs. — Tibia I with 1 outer and 1-2 inner spines below. 



Pedipalps. — Patella very sli^^htly longer than the tibia 

 (exclusive of the process), the two sej^ments together equalling 

 tiie tarsus in length ; tibia (PI. XIV. fig. 33 a) oval, cylin-

 the })lack sclerite at the inner basal angle produced upwards 

 into a minute ])rocess.

 of 2 spines. 



Vulva (PI. XIV. fig. 34:) with a large median groove, con- 

 taining in its anterior part a large tongue-shaped appendage,

 usually 2 (rarely 1 or 4) inner spines below, including an 

 apical pair, but in the ? there is no outer apical spine below. 

 The length of the clypeus sometimes equals the length of an 

 anterior lateral eye, and the posterior median eyes are some- 

 times as much as half an eye's diameter aj)art. The apical
