258 Mr. R. I. Pocock on the Genera and 
The head and mandibles are a uniform reddish yellow, the 
two eyes alone being black ; the legs also are yellowish red, 
though slightly infuscate distally, the posterior pair being 
strongly tinted with a blood-red colour; the posterior terga 
are uniformly black all over, but the anterior are paler in the 
middle ; and on each side of the sterna there is a blackish 
spot. 
ai both sexes the palpus is longer than the third leg and 
its tibia is longer than the protarsus of the fourth, which is 
distinctly shorter than the tibia of the same limb. 
A young specimen of this species, measuring 10 millim. in 
total length, has only three malleoli on each side—two on the 
coxa and one on the basal segment of the trochanter of the 
fourth leg—as described in the so-called genus Zombis, 
Simon. But in an example 15 millim. in length the two 
additional malleoli have appeared.
