58 Rev. O. P. Cambridge on new Species of Araneidea. 



strong medial line, reaching for some little distance above the 

 spinners. The upper and under sides of the abdomen are 

 divided by a strong line (or sometimes an interrupted, narrow, 

 oblong band) of a similar colour, on either side ; these bands 

 nearly unite in front, and terminate at about one-third the 

 length of the abdomen from the spinners ; these are prominent, 

 those of the inferior pair being much the strongest. 



Three males (two adult, one immature) of this species were 

 received from Mr. H. Burton Bradley, of Sydney, New South 

 Wales. Mr. Bradley has most kindly sent me these and other 

 spiders of great interest ; and I take the liberty of conferring 

 his name upon the present species, in acknowledgment of his 

 courtesy. 8. Bradleyi is unmistakeably and nearly allied 

 to 8. australiensis and 8. maculata. The difference above 

 noted in the position of the eyes approaches nearly to that of 

 the genus Enyo, to which genus, had the specimens of 8. 

 Bradleyi occurred in Europe or the adjoining countries, I 

 should have considered it to belong, though it would have 

 been quite an abnormal species, inasmuch as in the typical 

 Enyo the two central eyes of the front row are invariably, and, 

 in fact, disproportionately the largest of the eight. 



8torena australiensis , n. sp. 



S . Adult. Length 2^ lines. 



Cephalothorax oval (when looked at from behind and above), 

 blunt or roundish-pointed before, broad and rounded behind. 

 Caput massive ; normal grooves and furrows but slightly de- 

 fined. Clypeus broad and high, its height exceeding the length 

 of space occupied by the eyes ; behind the occiput is a slight 

 dip in the profile line ; surface smooth and shining ; colour deep 

 brown, approaching to black on caput, whence it tones down 

 to dark red-brown on the hinder (or thoracic) portion • a few 

 slender bristles curving upwards on fore part of caput and on 

 clypeus. 



Eyes very unequal in size, in three transverse rows on 

 summit of caput ; six of them form a regular but not equi- 

 lateral hexagonal figure, and the remaining two are nearly in 

 its centre. The foremost of the three rows consists of two 

 very small eyes high above the lower margin of clypeus ; the 

 next row has four eyes, and is curved, the curve directed 

 backwards ; the lateral eyes of this row are much the largest 

 of the eight, the two central ones the smallest and near toge- 

 ther ; the hind row consists of two eyes, not so large as the 

 laterals of the middle row. 



Legs tolerably long, moderate in strength ; greatest length
