120 ON NEW sp:ecies of tasmanian akane^. 



zoidal, directed forwards and outwards, about as long as 

 "broad in front ; clyjjeus pointed, retreating, depth fully equal 

 to space occupied by anterior centre-eyes ; thoracic indenta- 

 tion subcruciform, shallow ; radial striae faint ; caput grooves 

 more defined ; profile line slopes back from dorsal eyes at an 

 angle of 30 deg. beyond first half, base rounded ; dips more 

 abruptly across eye region. 



Posterior row of eyes very strongly procurved ; median pair 

 placed obliquely on well-developed, dark-ringed tubercles, 

 which are posited on crown of caput, separated by an interval 

 equalling space occupied by fore-centre eyes ; removed from 

 laterals by their space and a quarter, and from anterior 

 median pair, which they equal in size, by scarcely their space ; 

 anterior row visibly procurved ; median eyes seated on toler- 

 ably j)i'on]inent sub-tubercular eminences, divided by an 

 interval fully as wide as their diameter, plainly more than 

 their space from side eyes ; laterals placed less than the 

 radius of a hind eye apart at extremity of frontal projections ; 

 fore and hind eyes are respectively the largest and smallest 

 of eight. 



Falces brownish, suffused witli purple-brown ; transversely 

 rugose ; sub-conical, retreat rather sharply, base barely in 

 line with plane of clypeus, length about equal to their space. 



Maxillce yellowish-chestnut, apices pale slate ; broad- 

 spathulate, inclined towards each other. 



Labium shade darker than maxillae ; triangular. 



Sturnum brownish-purple, ovate, moderately studded with. 

 papillae, projecting hairs. 



jLeys, anterior pairs yellowish - chestnut, lake - brown 

 reflections, femora clouded with dark-brown, evanescent, 

 reddish-chestnut annulations on the patellary and tibial 

 joints ; posterior pairs yellow-orange, second half of femora 

 occupied by lake- brown rings ; tibiae and metatarsi have 

 interrupted lake-brown basal annulations ; two first pairs of 

 nearly equal stoutness, much the strongest ; tarsus of first leg 

 rather shorter than metatarsus, somewhat elevate, furnished 

 with close-ljing black hairs ; armature, light, fine, sparse 

 hairs ; light brown, tolerably strong spines ; 7 or 8 on femoral 

 joints, including two stout, cuived spines on superior aspect 

 of fore-half ; patellae 3 ; tibiae and metatarsi of I. — II. about 16 

 long spines, of IV. respectively 6-10; third pair rather more 

 sparingly spined. 



Falpi, ochreous-yellow, wide, broken, fuscous rings on 

 humeral joint ; latter article compressed, fore-half incrustated ; 

 length equal to the cubital and radial joints together; pars 

 cubitalis oval, projects a moderately strong bristle; pars 

 radia lis campanulate, plainly longer and wider than former 

 article, armed ^with numerous long bristles. Lamina
