millira. 



Cephalotliorax .... 3*5 



Abdomen 3"o 



Length of legs : 1 . . . Q'6 



2 ... 6-0 



3 ... 4-0 



4 ... 6-5 



Cephalothorax of a nearly uniform yellow-brown, slightly 

 darker towards the caput, which is laterally compressed. 

 The eyes of each j^air are almost contiguous, the laterals 

 being situated on slight dark-coloured prominences. 



Abdomen grey, without abdominal pattern and covered 

 with a fine down j slightly broader and a trifle darker 

 posteriorly. 



Legs yellow, with the three terminal joints of 1 and the 

 two terminal joints of 2 tinged with brown. All the femora 

 are powerful, especially those of the fourth pair. There is 

 one spine on the inner side of the femora of 1. 



The tibias of 1 and 2 have on their undersides six or seven 

 strong spines, some of them very long. The tibige of 1 are 

 especially powerful, and hairy as well as spinous. There are 

 two moderate spines under the tibiae of 3 ; but the tibias of 4 

 are spineless. 



The palpi are yellow, with the two terminal joints dark 

 brown. 



The spider here described was captured by Mr. Grant in 

 the island of Deserta Grande. It is nearly allied to Ariadne 

 ionica, Camb.* ; but in that species there is no pubescence on 

 the abdomen and the femoi*a of the first and second pairs of 

 legs are armed with six spines, while there are four on the 

 femora of the third pair.
