CepJialothorax dull, deep olive-green, facial space, wide 

 medial band, and radii approximating to fuscous-black ; 

 sub-marginal fringe of sparse white plumose hairs, small 

 patch close to posterior centre-ejes and hind- slope ; rugulose, 

 studded with minute papillae ; pars cephalica somewhat quad- 

 rate, strongly convex, sides steep, ocular eminence tolerably 

 prominent, sub-circular ; clypeus retreats visibly, depth ex- 

 ceeds half length of eye-area; pars thoracica elevated, slopes 

 somewhat abruptly from the deep, narrow indentation, sides 

 moderately rounded ; caput and radial striae well defined, 

 shallow ; contour of profile rises from thoracic junction at an 

 angle of 45 deg., represents a level line to eye-region broken 

 by two slight arches, crown of thoracic part rather above 

 plane of occiput. 



Eyes in two procurved rows ; posterior line nearly semi- 

 circular ; eyes equal in size ; centre-pair rather more distant 

 from laterals than they are from each other, an interval 

 scarcely equalling their own breadth ; anterior row moderately 

 procurved, median pair one-third smaller than hind-centrals, 

 divided by a space equal to an eye's diameter ; fore-laterals a 

 third smaller than centrals of same row, separated from them 

 by an interval less than half their radms, and from side-eyes 

 of hind-row by fully one-half their diameter. 



Falces dull lake-brown, conspicuous red-lake streak down 

 inferior margin of fore-third ; fringed with white hairs ; 

 conical, anterior kind (rather more) divergent vertical, profile 

 arched. 



MaxillcB chestnut-brown, inferior margin fulvous ; nearly 

 as wide as long, of somewhat even breadth, pointed, directed 

 towards each other, divided by an interval nearly equalling 

 breadth of lip. 



Lahium fuscous, margin amber colour ; triangular, apex 

 abscinded, everted, less than half length of maxillae. 



Sturnum dark brown-lake ; hairs fine, sparse ; broad ovate. 



Legs bright yellowish-orange, coxae suffused with olive- 

 brown; femoral, tibial and metatarsal joints of fourth pair 

 almost entirely suffused with lake-brown ; moderately strong, 

 do not differ much in length or strength ; hairs fine, some- 

 what sparse ; spines black ; about five strongish spines on 

 superior aspect of femora, basal long, erect ; tibiae of I. — II., 2, 

 2 bristle-like spines beneath ; metatarsi 2, 2 stronger spines 

 on inferior surface ; tibial joints of III. — IV. have 7 somewhat 

 irregularly placed spines ; metatarsi about 6, terminating
