strong and prominent yellowish scale-like hairs ; the eyes of the 

 second row are equidistant from, and in a straight line with, the 

 laterals on either side of the first and third rows. 



The legs are moderately long and strong, and do not differ greatly 

 in length; their relative length is apparently 3, 4, 1, 2; and their 

 colour is yellow clouded in parts with yellow-brown ; they are fur- 

 nished with spines, bristles, and hairs, of which some are fine and 

 white. 



The palpi are neither very long nor strong ; their colour is yellow, 

 that of the digital joint being yellow-brown ; the fore part of the 

 humeral joint, as well as the upperside of the cubital, is clothed with 

 white bristly hairs ; the radial is shorter than the cubital, and has 

 some long, strong, bristly white hairs above, rather in a tuft, on the 

 inner side, and with a decided inward direction ; the outer extremity 

 of this joint is produced into a short strong apophysis, hollowish on 

 the inner side, and very obtuse at its termination, which appeared to 

 be slightly indented ; the digital joint has its upperside clothed with 

 blackish and white hairs ; it is of moderate size and ordinary form ; 

 and the palpal organs are well developed and prominent, but simple 

 in structure, consisting of a large oval corneous lobe, whose inner side 

 is encircled (just beneath the edge of the digital joint) with a strong 

 black spine which issues from their base. 



The abdomen is of the ordinary form ; it is of a dark yellow-brown 

 colour above, clothed with yellow-red hairs ; the fore margin has a 

 large transverse oval band or patch of white hairs ; and there is an- 

 other conspicuous patch of the same (formed by two or three con- 

 fluent angular bars) rather behind the centre of the upperside ; the 

 sides are pale yellowish ; and the underside has a broad central lon- 

 gitudinal yellowish-brown band throughout its length. 



The female in general characters resembles the male ; but the ce- 

 phalothorax is more variegated and diversified in appearance, having 

 a longitudinal stripe of white hairs down the centre of the hind slope, 

 and reaching forwards to the middle of the caput ; there are also 

 some dark brown markings on the sides and hinder part of the 

 cephalothorax, which appear through the clothing of hairs (probably 

 the cephalothorax of the male had been partially denuded of hairs). 

 In the female the abdomen has the upperside dark brown-black, in- 

 dented on the sides near the spinners by one or two short yellowish 

 lines or encroachments from the sides ; the centre is (longitudinally) 

 of a yellowish colour ; and the fore part is divided in the same direc- 

 tion by a black stripe, club-shaped at its termination, with a black 

 spot on either side about the middle ; following this black stripe are 

 the pale chevrons observable on the male. 



An adult male and female, with an immature male, were found 

 among stones at Jerusalem.

Male adult, length 1 1 line. 



The cephalothorax is of a rather flattened form, and longer than 

 in many other species of this group ; the hinder slope is also less
