536 REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON [Nov. 25, 
of these pairs are contiguous to each other, seated on a slight tu- 
bercle, and parallel to the central oblong figure. 
Legs long, those of the first pair greatly the longest—at least 
three times the length of the Spider; they are moderately strong, 
and their relative length is 1, 2, 4,3; colour yellow; femora of first 
pair tinged with reddish brown; the extremities of all the femoral, 
genual, and tibial joints are dark red-brown; all the legs are fur- 
nished with hairs and black spines, of which latter those of a double 
longitudinal series on the tibiee of the first two pairs are most con- 
spicuous. 
Palpi slender, not very long, of a pale yellow colour; the digital 
joints are furnished with conspicuous black bristles; a long promi- 
nent one also issues from the anterior extremity of each cubital 
joint, and another (not far from it) from the inner side of each radial 
joint. 
; Falces rather long, powerful, but very slightly divergent at their 
extremities, prominent in front near their base, and similar in colour 
to the cephalothorax. 
Mazille long, strong, divergent and enlarged at their extremities, 
which are rounded on the inner sides, where their colour is pale, the 
rest being of a deep brown. 
Labium short, oblong, rounded at the apex, and transversely in- 
dented or rugulose. 
Sternum heart-shaped, of a deep rich brown colour, with some 
long black prominent bristles in front. 
Abdomen oblong-oval, projecting greatly over the base of the 
cephalothorax, and rather flattened above; its colour is yellowish 
brown, more or less suffused with dull golden metallic spots; a 
broad longitudinal, strongly dentated band of a browner hue, but 
similarly suffused, ocenpies almost the whole of the upperside, nar- 
rowing as it approaches the spinners; this band has on its outer 
margins a broken but strong and conspicuous edging of black spots 
and markings, forming two irregularly dentated black lines; on the 
fore half of this band is a central longitudinal brown line, crossed by 
another about midway, and with its hinder extremity trifid; this 
crossed line is formed by the greater suffusion and covering of the 
surrounding space by metallic spots; the sides are marked with two 
or three inconspicuous oblique dark lines; and the underside has a 
broad longitudinal black bar edged on either lateral margin by a 
conspicuous bar of pale metallic golden spots, a blotch of the same 
forming a continuation of each on either side of the spinners ; these 
are short and almost concealed beneath the extremity of the abdo- 
men; the sexual organs outwardly only present a small inconspi- 
cuous aperture at the base of a large squarish maroon-brown-coloured 
atch.
