Micrommata Darling?, sp. n. 
? .—Colour. Integument of legs and carapace yellowish 
brown, speckled with black and mottled with a mixture of 
yellowish and blackish hairs; ventral surface of carapace 
paler; upperside of abdomen covered with a coating of 
blackish and fiery yellow hairs mixed, lower side pale yellowish 
grey. 
Carapace a little shorter than patella and tibia of first leg, 
much shorter than those of fourth. 
Eyes of anterior line somewhat strongly recurved by their 
centres, the medians much smaller than laterals and with their 
inferior edges a little below the level of those of the latter ; 
eyes of posterior line slightly procurved. 
Vulva consisting of a large horny plate, impressed with a 
deep and longitudinally oval pit, closed in front and opening 
behind, where the vulva terminates in a pair of lobes sepa- 
rated by a median tongue-shaped process. 
Total length 12 millim.; carapace 5; first leg 14, second 16,

Loc. Mazoe (J. ff. Darling). 
Sparassus claviger, sp. n. 
3 .—Resembling S. Kriigert, Sim. (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr, 
Ixv. p. 488, 1897), in colour and size, but apparently differing 
at least in the form of the tibial apophysis of the male, which 
is directed obliquely downwards and forwards, and ends in 
a sharp point, its upper or anterior edge being sinuous 
and its inferior edge produced in its basal half into a semi- 
circularly rounded lobe; at the base of the apophysis on the 
outer side the tibia bears a subquadrate lobe, which is 
hollowed beneath and forms the postero-external wall of a 
cavity for the reception of part of the palpal organ; this organ 
is furnished behind with a large, internally directed, striate, 
clavate process. 
Total length 9 millim.; carapace 4; second leg 23, fourth 20. 
Loe. Salisbury (G. A. K. Marshall). 
Sparassus Darlingi, sp. n. 
3 .—Closely allied to S. claviger and S. Kriiger?, but with 
the distal half of the tibial apophysis bent downwards at a 
right angle to the proximal half, with its upper and lower 
edges evenly arched, the pale external prominence on the 
tibia smaller than in S. c/aviger, but the ridge bounding the 
inferior excavation stronger and semicircular, the outwardly
