middle row ; these are more than double the size of those of the 

 hinder row, and form very nearly as long a line as the latter. The 

 sides of the cephalothorax are rather depressed ; a broad, longitu- 

 dinal, brownish yellow band, radiating at the thoracic junction, oc- 

 cupies the middle ; and the lateral margins have a broken band of the 

 same colour, the intermediate spaces forming two broad brown bands ; 

 the ocular area is black-brown ; and the whole has a dense clothing 

 of yellowish grey pubescence. 



The legs are rather short, though not very unequal in length, 

 their relative length being apparently 4, 3, 1, 2 ; they are yellow, 

 the femora banded with black-brown, and the femoral and base of 

 the tibial joints slightly marked with a similar colour. 



The f alces are brownish yellow, blackish near their base in front, 

 and marked obliquely towards the extremities with a dusky brown 

 band. 



The sternum is black-brown, with a broad, irregularly edged, 

 yellow, longitudinal central band, which does not, however, reach 

 the hinder extremity. 



The abdomen is dull blackish brown above, all the normal cha- 

 racteristic markings being much obscured ; the normal central mark- 

 ing on the fore part is bifid at its hinder extremity, and has an an- 

 gular point, directed backwards, near the middle of each side; the 

 hinder part has two nearly parallel longitudinal rows, each of three or 

 four rather conspicuous pale spots, furnished with whitish hairs ; and 

 between them is an indistinct series of yellowish angular bars or chev- 

 rons ; the sides are marked with black-brown spots and broken lines, 

 which are more thinly dispersed towards the underside, which is 

 yellow, margined with black-brown, and divided by a longitudinal 

 central dark brown bar. 



A single example was found under a stone near Alexandria. 



Lycosa inquieta, sp. n. 



Adult male, length 2 lines. 



Cephalothorax, deep brown, with a broad, longitudinal, central 

 brownish yellow band, tapering slightly from the eyes to the hinder 

 extremity, and, together with the space included by the four large 

 posterior eyes, covered thickly with yellowish grey hairs ; there is 

 also on each side a narrow yellowish lateral stripe, interrupted near 

 the middle, and situated a little way above the margin ; the elypeus 

 is brownish yellow. 



The eyes of the middle row do not appear to be larger than those 

 of the hinder one ; but the line formed by them is shorter than that 

 formed by the latter, and also a little shorter than that formed by 

 the laterals (on each side) of these two rows ; the centrals of the 

 front row are larger than the laterals, and are much further apart 

 from each other than each is from the lateral eye on its side. 



The legs are long, and tolerably strong ; their colour is dull yel- 

 lowish, faintly annulated with dusky brown. 



The palpi are also dull yellowish in colour, the digital joint being 

 brown ; the radial joint is rather larger and stronger than the
