interval of double the extent of that between the eyes of the first row, 

 and their colour is black, with a narrow orange margin ; the laterals 

 of the hinder row are placed rather behind, and near the summit of 

 the emmence, and are divided from those of the second row by an 

 interval equal to that between the second and first rows; the two cen- 

 trals of the hinder row are seated behind the bases of the eminences, 

 and are considerably further apart than each is from tha lateral, of 

 the same row, on its side. 



The lateral eyes of the three rows form on each side a very nearly 

 straight line ; and its length is rather greater than the height of the 

 clypeus. 



The leffs are strong ; those of the first and second pairs are much 

 the longest, the difference in their length being very slight ; the first 

 are perhaps a little the longest, and the third pair shortest. They 

 are of a yellow colour, clouded with orange and brown in parts, and 

 the two basal joints are bright red-brown. The femora, tibi«, and 

 metatarsi of the first two pairs are furnished with spines ; those on 

 the femora are in front ; tliose on the other two joints are underneath. 

 Each tarsus terminates with two curved claws, furnished beneath 

 the basal portion with, apparently, no more than 1-3 denticulations 

 Lhe^pa/j)i are short and rather strong; the radial joint is shorter 

 than the cubital, but less stout, and has its fore extremity on the 

 outer side produced into a furcate projection ; the upper prong forms 

 a short, curved, pointed, claw-like apophysis; the under one adheres 

 close to the outer side of the digital joint, and is of a flattened form, 

 pointed at the end, and much longer and larger than the upper 

 prong ; the digital joint is large, of a broad oval form, of a brownish 

 yellow colour, the rest of the palpus being yellow ; the palpal organs 

 are simple in structure, and apparently inscribed by a filiform spine. 

 The falces are short, strong, subconical, perpendicular, and of a 

 deep yellowish-rerl colour. 



The maxUlcB are moderate in length and strength, strai^-ht, but 

 rather inchned towards the labium, and a little the broadest at their 

 extremities, their colour being reddish yellow-brown, palest at the 

 extremities. 



The /abiian is of the same colour as the maxillae ; its breadth and 

 height are about equal ; but its base is broader than its apex, which 

 IS rounded. 



The sternum is heart-shaped, of an orange-yellow colour, margined 

 with dark red-brown. 



The abdomen is broadest and most convex at the hinder extremity ; 

 the hinder part, sides, and underside are rugulose ; and the whole 

 surface is covered with small, red-brown, shining tubercles ; on the 

 upperside are two long, slightly tapering, strongly divergent promi- 

 nences ; and at the middle of the upper part of the hinder extremity 

 IS another, shorter and more sharply pointed; a little lower down on 

 each side of the hinder extremity is another still shorter, or simply 

 conical eminence : the upj)erside of the abdomen, including the emi- 

 nences, is of an orange-yellow colour ; the two anterior eminences 

 have each two longitudinal red-brown stripes, the foremost of which
