206 REV. 0. P. CAMBRIDGE ON [Mar. 16, 
others directed contrarily from the upper part of the lower segment 
of the caput. 
The eyes are of tolerable size, and do not differ greatly in this 
respect ; they are placed in the usual four pairs on small black spots ; 
those of one pair, on the upperside of the fore part of the cephalic 
eminence, are separated from each other by an interval of about two 
diameters’ extent ; another pair is seated on each side of the upper 
part of the lower segment ; the eyes of each of these lateral pairs 
are contiguous to each other, the eyes of the fourth, or fore central, 
pair are not quite contiguous to each other, being separated by nearly 
half a diameter; they are of an oval shape and rather obliquely 
opposed to each other, and, though rather darker than the rest (which 
are pearly white), are lighter-coloured and larger than usual, being 
equal in size to those on the cephalic eminence ; the width of the 
ocular area at its widest or lower part a little exceeds, transversely, 
the length of its longitudinal diameter; the eyes of the fore central 
pair are placed a little above the line of the fore laterals, and each 
of these is separated from the fore central nearest to it by the 
diameter of one of the former. 
The Jegs are moderate in length and strength ; their relative length 
appeared to be 4, 1, 2, 3; they are furnished, but not very conspi- 
cuously, with short hairs. 
The palpi are short ; the cubital joint is slightly clavate at its fore 
extremity, and a little bent downwards ; the radial joint is shorter 
than the cubital, and rather spreading above at its fore part, whence 
it is produced into a not very long, but rapidly tapermg, pointed 
apophysis, the point being very slightly curved and rather pointed 
outwards ; the digital joint is of tolerable size and ordinary form: 
the palpal organs are prominent, well developed, but not very 
complex ; near their centre is a strong, transverse-oval, pale yellowish, 
corneous, convex lobe; and immediately in front of or below this is a 
strong, somewhat sinuously and circularly curved, sharp-pointed, 
black-brown spine. 
The falces are neither very long nor strong ; they are directed a 
little backwards, and have a few minute teeth on their inner edge 
towards the extremities. 
The mazille and labium are of normal form; and the sternum is 
slightly marked with punctures. 
The abdomen is rather large, and of a broad-oval form, tolerably 
convex above ; the upper part is covered with a very distinct, coria- 
ceous, thickly and strongly punctured epidermis of a rich orange- 
red colour, the sides and lower part being of a pale straw-yellow 
colour, spotted with minute orange-brown points or punctures ; it is 
thinly clothed with short hairs ; the spiracular plates and space 
between them, as well as a small oval portion in front of the spinners, 
are also of an orange-brown colour. 
An adult male of this brightly coloured Spider, which is allied to 
E. bucephala (p. 217), was received from M. Simon, by whom it was 
found in Morocco. In the form of the cephalothorax it bears some 
resemblance to many other species ; but its colour, combined with the
