Posterior row of eyes sensibly recurved, nearlj straight ; 

 centre-pair fully one-third smaller than laterals, rather more 

 distant from them than they are from each other, an interval 

 slightly exceediag their own diameter ; anterior row recurved ; 

 median pair dark, about one-half size of hind-centrals, form 

 with them a trapezoid, the front line of which is shortest ; 

 visibly more remote from one another than they are from 

 side-eyes ; laterals of fair size, have the pearly lustre of 

 posterior centre-eyes posited obliquely on a strong, common 

 tubercle, sub- contiguous. 



Falces yellow-brown, olive -green hue ; fore-half and sides 

 suffused with a deeper shade; linear-conical, retreat per- 

 ceptibly ; not fully as stout as the femur of a second leg, as 

 long as the pars digitalis of palpus. 



Maxillm brownish-yellow, mottled, fore-half passing into 

 olive-brown ; well developed, somewhat linear, round-pointed ; 

 inclined over labium ; latter organ shade darker ; breadth 

 surpasses length by one-third, somewhat rounded. 



Sturnum deep chestnut-brown ; glossy ; broad-cordate. 

 Legs orange-ochreous ; first pair, basal two-thirds of femora 

 olive-green ; tibiae suffused with same shade ; metatarsi and 

 tarsi slightly suffused, faint basal ring on former articles ; 

 markings on second legs resemble first, except that the 

 broad bands on femora are reduced to basal annulations ; 

 third and fourth pairs have very faint indications of annuli ; 

 hairs black, somewhat coarse and sparse ; few bristle-like 

 spines. Superior tarsal claws — first pair, 15 open comb- 

 teeth forming an even line with point of claw ; inferior claw 

 sharply bent, two tolerably strong teeth, outer longest. 



Falpi, colour and armature of legs ; pars digitalis fuscous- 

 green ; rather longer than cephalothorax ; palpal claw 

 moderately curved, ] 1 open comb-teeth extending length of 

 claw. 



Abdomen broad-ovate, projects over base of cephalothorax ; 

 blui sh- black ; sparingly clothed ^with coarse black hairs. 

 corpus vulvse yellowish mahogany colour, fuscus clouds about 

 base ; represents a large transverse, sub-oval, plano-convex, 

 turgid projection ; superior margin somewhat prominent, 

 projects over the rima genitalis. 



Numerous examples differing somewhat in their cephalic 

 shading and leg markings.
