Descriptions of new Species. 
Genus ArGrore (Savign.). 
ARGIOPE LORDII, n. sp. (Plate L. fig. 1.) 
Female adult, length 83 lines. 
Cephalothorax flattened, oblong oval, strongly compressed late- 
rally at the caput, which is rather produced; the normal furrows 
and indentations are well marked ; the colour is deep brown, with a 
broad yellow thoracic margin, and reddish-yellow patches or suffu- 
sions at the junction of the caput and thorax; the brown portions 
are thickly clothed with a short adpressed light grey pubescence, 
among which are some short erect dark bristles. 
Eyes eight, not very unequal in size, in four pairs near the 
extreme upper fore margin of the caput; those of the two central 
pairs form an oblong figure, the eyes of the fore side being the 
largest of the eight, and slightly nearer together than those of the 
hinder side, though, owing to their larger size, they form a line of 
equal length; the eyes of each lateral pair are contiguous, placed 
obliquely on a small tubercle, and are more nearly in a straight line 
with the eyes of the fore than of the hind central pair. 
Legs long and strong, of a deep red or chestnut-brown colour, 
with bands of short light grey hairs, furnished, not very thickly, 
with hairs, bristles, and small spines; each tarsus ends with three 
claws, the two superior ones strongly pectinated ; and beneath them 
are some supernumerary opposed ones. 
Palpi yellowish, clouded and striped with red-brown, furnished 
with hairs, coarse bristles, and fine spines; and each ends with a 
curved pectinated claw. 
Falces moderately long, strong, vertical, conical; of a deep brown 
colour, slightly tipped with yellow. 
Maville short, strong, enlarged near their middle, round at the 
extremities; of a rich black-brown colour, broadly terminating at 
the upper extremities with yellow. 
Labium short, broad, and subtriangular; it is of a black-brown 
colour at the base; and the apex, which is blunt in form, is yellow. 
Sternum heart-shaped, slightly indented on its edges; it is of a 
deep brown colour charged with a large and somewhat cruciform 
yellow marking ; and the whole is thinly clothed with fine grey hairs. 
Abdomen large, of an oblong-oval form, flattened but irregular on
