224 rev. o. p. Cambridge on [Mar. 4, 



longitudinally bisected by the third line ; the normal grooves and in- 

 dentations are well marked, and give the ordinary radiated appear- 

 ance to the thorax. 



The eyes are in the usual three rows ; those (four in number) of 

 the foremost row are minute and form a straight, line very near to 

 the insertion of the falces ; those of the central pair of this row 

 appeared to be rather smaller than the laterals ; and the interval 

 between them is less than that between each and the lateral on its 

 side : those of the middle row are largest of the eight ; they form a 

 line rather less in length than that formed by those of the foremost 

 row, and are separated from each other by an interval about equal to 

 half of the diameter of one of them : those of the hinder row are 

 removed behind the middle row about the space of the diameter of 

 one of the latter, and form a line rather longer than either of the 

 others ; with the eyes of the middle row they form a quadrangular 

 figure whose sides and front are equal in length, but its hinder side 

 about one third longer. 



Legs strong, moderately long, their relative length 4, 1, 2, 3 ; 

 they are of a yellow-brown hue, but not of a uniform depth of 

 colour ; some portions, particularly the tibiae, tarsi, and metatarsi of 

 those of the first and second pairs, are much the darkest and red- 

 tinged, some of the joints also showing faint indications of darker 

 brown aiinulations : they are furnished with hairs and spines, those of 

 the latter beneath the tibiae and metatarsi of the two foremost pairs 

 being most numerous, longest, and strongest. 



The palpi are moderately long and strong, and of a dark reddish 

 yellow-brown colour. 



The falces are long, strong, and massive, prominent near their base 

 in front ; their colour is deep red-brown, approaching to black, and 

 they are furnished pretty thickly with hairs and bristles. 



The maxillae and labium are of normal form, similar to the falces 

 in colour, though pale yellowish at their extremities, and furnished, 

 especially at those points, with hairs and bristles. 



Sternum oval, yellow, and clothed with a few longish bristly 

 hairs. 



Abdomen oval, projecting a little over the base of the cephalo- 

 thorax, and clothed pretty thickly with hairs ; its colour is pale 

 yellow-brown, marked with black-brown, showing a pattern nearly 

 resembling that of Lycosa agretyca (Bl.) ; the normal elongate 

 marking on the fore half of the upperside is large and bold, of a 

 dark yellow-brown colour, edged with blackish ; its hinder extremity 

 is obtuse and sends forth a short line from each corner, as well as 

 one from each side nearly halfway towards its fore extremity ; and 

 the sides are marked by oblique dark black-brown broken lines ; the 

 underside is of a uniform pale yellowish hue. 



The spinners are short, those of the inferior pair being the 

 strongest. 



Two adult females and numerous youug examples were contained 

 in Mr. Melliss's St. -Helena collection.
