 black spot in front and narrow black strijies behind.

 yellow, not fiery red. 



Eyes of posterior ocular quadrangle larger, the medians 

 being a little less than their own diameter above the edge of 

 theelypeus (in L. Darlingi the distance exceeds the diameter), 

 and they are scarcely more than half a diameter apart (in 

 L. Darlimji they are three fourths of a diameter apart). 



Total length (abdomen shrivelled) 16 millim. ; carapace U'S ; 

 first leg 23-5, fourth leg 28.

 as protarsus of fourth ; cephalic region elevated ; eyes of 

 anterior line procurved, the laterals a little larger and nearly 

 equidistant from the edge of the clypeus and from the eyes of 

 the second row ; eyes of second row wider than those of first
