Attidae. 

 Attus maderianaj sp. n., $ . (PI. XIV. fig. 1.) 



Cephalothorax dark brown, merging to black on the caput, 

 but with a narrow white lateral border, of which tlie inner 

 edge is broken by a dark spot opposite the third leg. There i3 

 a conspicuous whitish spot behind each of the posterior eyes. 



The abdomen^ which is oval, is of a blackish-brown colour, 

 variegated with some whitish spots and some angular markings 

 of a yellowish hue. 



Three white spots on either side correspond with, but do 

 not quite meet, the angular circumflex-like markings, and 

 are, so to speak, encroachments of the paler border of the 

 abdomen. The extremities of the middle angular marking 

 are also dilated to form two conspicuous whitish spots. 



In the posterior half of the abdomen the pattern is compli- 

 cated by two faint angular markings each in the form of an 

 inverted circumflex. 



The under surface of the abdomen and of the coxffi is pale, 

 but the plastron is dark brown or black. The palpi are white. 

 All the legs are distinctly annulated on the metatarsi and 

 tarsi, but the femora and patella; are of dark hue, and the 

 former have black longitudinal striations. 



A single female of this small spider was taken by 

 Mr. Grant.
