are long, strong, and hooked, with two or three denticulations under- 

 neath ; the inferior claw has no denticulation, nor is there any scopula 

 beneath the tarsi. 



The falces are powerful, nearly vertical, hut rather prominent in 

 front ; the fore extremities have no spines ; the fang is short, but 

 very powerful. 



The maxilla are very divergent hut straight, with parallel sides, 

 and a short subconical point at the extremity on the inner side. The 

 labium is short-oblong, rounded at its apex, and (with the maxillae) 

 studded with very short, strong, tooth-like spines ; these parts (with 

 the basal joints of the legs) are of a pale dull yellowish hue. 



The abdomen is oval, hairy, and projects well over the base of 

 the cephalothorax ; it is of a dark, somewhat warm maroon-brown 

 colour, minutely speckled with pale spots, and with several pairs of 

 distinct elongate-oval, oblique spots along the upperside, forming 

 two longitudinal rows, which converge as they run backwards; 

 between these rows the surface is darker than the rest. The spinners 

 (four in number) are dull yellowish, those of the superior pair 

 pointed; the last two joints very short ; inferior spinners much the 

 smallest. The sides and underpart of the abdomen are paler than 

 the upperside. 



A single example of this Spider was received from Dunedin, New 

 Zealand, where it was found by Captain F. W. Hutton. It may be 

 distinguished readily from Migas paradoxus, L. Koch, by its much 

 smaller and more widely separated eyes, and by the very different 

 colour and pattern of the abdomen. 



Fam. Enyoides. 

 Hutton ia, gen. no v. 



Cephalothorax much longer than broad, roundly truncated at the 

 fore extremity ; profile strongly arched, the highest part being at 

 the occiput ; normal grooves and indentations, as well as the con- 

 strictions on the lateral margins of the caput, very slight. 



Eyes subequal, rather closely grouped, in two very nearly concen- 

 tric curved rows, whose convexity is directed backwards, and of 

 which the anterior row is a little the shortest and least curved ; the 

 fore-centrals are the largest of the eight, and are seated on a slight 

 tubercular prominence. 



Legs not very long, moderately strong, 4, 1, 2, 3. The femora 

 of the first and second pairs stronger than the rest, and particularly 

 so at the posterior extremity on the upperside. Femoral joints 

 rather unusually long, and of a clavate form. Clothed with hairs 

 and bristles only. Tarsal claws three ; those of the third and fourth 

 pairs placed on a small supernumerary articulation or claw-joint. 

 Scopula slight, and only beneath the tarsi and metatarsi of the first 

 and second pairs. Palpi (of the female) without any terminal claw. 



Maxilla tolerably long, somewhat tapering, and blunt, pointed at 

 their extremities, gibbous at the base, slightly impressed beyond the 

 middle, and greatly inclined to each other, their points meeting over
