Ife ON NEW SPECIES OF TASMANIAN AEANE^. 



Corjpus vulvsd ochreous-brown ; transverse oval, moder. 

 ately elevated ; summit occupied by two rather large, broad- 

 oval fovea, divided by a septum fully one-half their breadth ; 

 four black processes project outwards from within fovea; 

 outer pair sub-touchmg margin, short, second pair separated 

 "by septum, corneous, moderately stout, in length about equal 

 to diameter of fovea, curved towards superior border of 

 corpus, inclined towards each other. 



Single specimen. 



Liny^hia nitens, sp. nov. 



jPem.— Ceph. th., long, 1*2; broad, 1. Abd., long, 2*3; 

 broad, 2. Legs, 1, 2, 4, 3=6-9, 5-5, 4-2, 3 mm. 



Cephalothorax fulvous, sparingly speckled with lake, fovea 

 and radii olive-green, lateral margins lightly pencilled with. 

 a similar tint. Hairs sparse. Ovate, lateral compression 

 at caput slight ; pars cephalica depressedly convex, roundly 

 truncated, lateral index fully equals two-thirds of facial ; 

 clypeus vertical, depth scarcely surpasses diameter of a fore- 

 centre eye ; pars thoracica convex ; fovea transverse oval ; 

 normal grooves fairly perceptible ; contour of profile rises 

 from stalk at an angle of 40 deg., slopes forwards with a 

 perceptible curve. 



Posterior row of eyes pearl- grey, visibly procurved, 

 equidistant, centrals nearly one-half larger than laterals of 

 same row, separated by scarcely an eye's interval, less than 

 their diameter a half from fore-centrals ; anterior row 

 dark, moderately recurved, about equal distances from each 

 other: median pair rather the smallest of eight, on dark 

 rings, divided by an interval exceeding their breadth ; lateral 

 eyes posited obliquely on dark, contiguous tubercles, nearly 

 radius of the fore-eye apart, latter eye intermediate in size 

 l)etween the hind-lateral and fore-central. 



Falces brownish- amber colour ; strong, conical, gibbous at 

 base in front, vertical ; length exceeds digital joint of palpus, 

 rather stouter than thigh of a leg of first pair. 



Maa'iZ^as greenish-yellow, dappled with olive-gieen; nearly 

 as broad as long, rounded, taper to base ; separated by atl 

 interval about equal to their own breadth. 



Labium bluish-black ; one-third wider than long, strongly 

 everted. 



Sturnum brown, suff ased with bluish-black, nearly as wide 

 between second pair of coxal joints as long, tapers somewhat 

 rapidly to a tail-like prolongation between coxae of fourth 

 legs. 



Legs pale fulvous, greenish reflections ; distal olive-brown 

 annuiations on tibial, metatarsal and tarsal joints. Hairs
