189ft/j T>rEW EXOTir a-raiteidea. O.SI 



very proinineut, almost on a level with the ocular ai'ea ; its sides 

 are parallel, its fore-side truncate, and its height very nearly equal 

 to half that ot' the facial space. Colour deep bistre-brown, with 

 a narrow cream-white margin and marked with longitudinal cream- 

 white longitudinal lines ; the two most distinct of these form 

 lateral margins to the clypeus and ocular area, and are continued 

 along the outer sides of the falces ; two others, less distinct and 

 curved, run backwards and enclose an oblong-oval space im- 

 mediately behind the ocular area ; two others also are near together 

 on each side, parallel to each other and to the margins of the 

 thorax, which last has also, in some examples, some very slender 

 cream-white converging lines on each side of it. 



Eyes in two almost or quite concentric, slightly curved 

 transverse lines, the convexity of the curve directed forwards. 

 The fore-laterals are considerably the largest, the fore-centrals 

 smallest. The fore and aft width of the area formed by the eyes is 

 rather less than half its transverse width. The central quadrangle 

 is slightly less in length than in width (behind), but the anterior 

 side is scarcely more than half the length of the posterior. The 

 fore-central pairs are nearer together than to the fore-laterals, and 

 those of the posterior row are equally separated or nearly so. 

 The lateral eyes are all seated on strong prominences, especially 

 the hind-laterals. 



Legs long, slender, 2-1-4-3 ; those of the first and second 

 pairs much the longest and not very different in length, nor is 

 there much difference between the 3i-d and 4th pairs. The colour 

 of the first and second pairs is light yellow-brown, the fore-sides of 

 the femora dark-brown ; the third and fourth pairs pale yellow ; 

 spines few and inconspicuous ; no scopula. Claw-tuft represented 

 by a small group of bristles ; terminal claws of the first two pairs 

 moderately curved and strongly pectinated throughout, those of 

 the third and fourth pairs less strongly pectinate. 



Falces strong, prominent ; profile following the line of the 

 ocular area and clypeus, and strongly arched. Colour lilie that of 

 the cephalothorax, and famished with strong spine-like bristles in 

 front. 



Palpi short, strong ; radial joint stronger than the cubital, with 

 two or three spines in front and on the inner side, and at its fore ex- 

 tremity on the outer side is a strong apophysis, prominent, obtuse 

 at its extremity, which is subdivided or somewhat bifid ; digital 

 joint rather large, elongate-oval. Palpal organs simple and 

 encircled with one or two slender blackish filiform spines. 



Maxillce-, labium, and sternurn- normal, and ot a deep brown 

 colour, the latter covered with strong prominent bristles. 



Abdomen long, cylindrical, nearly 3 times the length of the 

 cephalothorax; sides parallel, the anterior side hollow truncate, 

 fitting up closely to the base of the thorax, and thinly covered witli 

 short spine-like bristles ; hinder end tuberculose and drawn out 

 into a pointed or conical, segmentate or articulate caudal form ; 

 each tubercle armed with a spine. Colour deep brown, approach-
