730 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW ARANEIDEA. _[Nov. 1, 
An immature male (owing to the greater length of the abdomen) 
measured 33 lines in length. 
The cephalothorax has the upper marginal profile line, of both 
the caput and thorax, level; the normal indentations are strong and 
form the emarginate appearance of the lateral edges; its colour is a 
bright orange-red; it is thickly impressed with minute punctures, 
and furnished thinly with fine greyish hairs. 
The eyes are eight in number; the two outer ones of each row 
are contiguous to each other, and thus the eight form four pairs oc- 
cupying the four corners of the ocular area; the two central eyes of 
the hinder row are the largest of the eight; they are of an oval 
shape, grey in colour, and separated from each other by the space 
of an eye’s diameter; the two fore centrals are next in size, round 
in form, dark-coloured, and not more than half an eye’s diameter 
apart from each other; the four lateral eyes are the smallest, nearly 
equal in size, and of a pearly white lustre ; the height of the clypeus 
(z. e. the space between the lower margin of the fore central eyes 
and the insertion of the falces) is rather more than the diameter of 
one of those eyes. 
Legs: those of the first and second pairs are much the strongest 
(especially the coxal and femoral joints); their colour is orange- 
yellow, and they are furnished only with fine hairs. 
Palpi short, similar in colour and armature to the legs; humeral 
joints much bent; cubital and radial joints short, about equal in 
length and strength; the latter (radials) are very slightly produced 
in a pointed form at their outer extremities; the digital joint is 
rather large, suffused with a brownish hue, and of an oval form. 
The palpal organs are neither very prominent nor complex; they 
consist of simple corneous lobes or processes, with a rather strongish 
prominent point near their centre. 
Falces moderately long, not very strong; they are of a conical 
form, vertical in position, and furnished at their extremities with a 
weakish curved fang; their colour, together with that of the mazille 
and Jabium, is similar to the colour of the cephalothorax. 
Sternum oval, with indented margins, and with a small, narrow, 
somewhat oblong production at its hinder extremity ; in colour it is 
similar to the maxille and labium. 
Abdomen long, narrow-oval in form, and moderately convex above ; 
it is of a warm pinkish-red colour, and rather thickly clothed with 
short hairs of a dull brownish yellow ; an apparent pedicle, which, 
however, is only the prolongation of the hinder extremity of the 
cephalothorax, connects it with that part ; the spiracular plates are 
yellow, and the spinners two only. 
An adult and an immature male of this species were contained in 
a collection of Spiders most kindly made for me in Bombay, in 1863, 
by Captain (now Major) Julian Hobson (of H.M. Staff Corps), 
after whom I have great pleasure in naming it. It is a remarkable 
Spider, not only from the form of the cephalothorax, maxille, labium, 
and position of the eves, but especially from the possession of but 
two spimners, in which, as also in the form of the maxille and the
