 Chelicerae with a net-work of black. Legs infuscate, striped longir 

 tudinally with yellow. 



Cephalothorax thickly granular. 



Tergites thickly granular, the yellow markings mostly smooth, 

 except the median ones ; the segments with 3 distinct keels, the 

 lateral keels granular, short, occupying about -^ or ^ of the length 

 of the segment. 



Sternites. — Segments 1-3 of abdomen smooth and polished, seg- 

 ment 3 in ^ weakly granular at anterior corners, segment 4 smooth 

 in middle, weakly granular laterally in $ , more extensively granular 

 laterally in <? , segment 5 weakly granular throughout, with 4 feebly 

 granular keels. 



Tail. — Segments 1-2 with 10, segment 3 with 8-10 and segment 4 

 wdth 8 well defined granular keels, the middle lateral keel strong in 

 segments 1 and 2, distinct or rudimentary in segment 3 and absent 

 in segment 4, the superior keels with the terminal denticle only 

 slightly enlarged ; segment 5 with distinct superior, infero-lateral, 

 and median crests. The caudal surfaces minutely granular between 

 the keels, especially in segment 5 ; the upper surface in segments 

 1-4 with a cuneate, granular, median area bordered by 2 rows of 

 larger granules, w^hich converge posteriorly. Vesicle about f as 

 wide and f-f as high as segment 5, weakly granular belov7 and 

 on the sides, the aculeus short, the tubercle below it small, 

 cylindrical, blunt. 



Pedipalps. — Femur granular above. Tibia granular anteriorly, 

 smooth posteriorly, with a couple of irregular rows of granules on 

 upper side. Hand stout, somewhat wider than the tibia in the 2 

 and considerably wilder in the ^ , rounded, not angular, finely 

 granular anteriorly and at the base of the finger, weakly granular 

 or nearly smooth on upper surface, smooth posteriorly ; fingers 

 short, about 1^ times the length of the hand-back in the 5 , still 

 shorter, about li times this length in the 3^ ; movable finger with 

 6-7 main row^s and 7 anterior flanking granules, the enlarged proxi- 

 mal tooth in each main row flanked externally by 2 similar teeth. 



ChelicercB with only one inferior tooth on the immovable finger. 



Legs granular externally on femur and tibia, the tarsal spur between 

 the first and second joints on the third leg small, about i of the length 

 of the second tarsal segment.
