also. A single male was taken in the Cameroons by Capt. Burton. 

 I cannot regard this as the male of the form taken by Miss Kings- 

 ley from the same district, since the ocular quadrangle offers 

 differences which I believe will prove to be specific. 



CrENrs MARSHALLi, sp. n. (Plate IV. fig3. 12, 13.) 



d . 15 mm. Hah. Umfuli Eiver, Mashonaland ; coll. Marshall. 

 Type in coll. Brit. Mus. Xat. Hist. London. 



Total length 15 mm. Carap. 7x5-5. Legs : i. 40 — ii. 34-5 — 

 iii. 30— iv. 42. Pat. + tib. i. 13-5— iii. 9-5— iv. 12-5. Prot. i. 10— 

 iv. 13. 



Colour. Carapace brown, with very narrow yellow central 

 band, or a pair of closely adjacent central lines of yellow 

 pubescence, throwing off a short distinct branch on each side at 

 central stria. Margins broadly clothed with pale pubescence, but 

 not so close as in central lines. Legs testaceous yellow, clothed 

 with fine hairs and yellow silky pubescence above. Mandibles 

 black with grey hairs. Scopulse dark brown. ^Momew shrivelled, 

 but apparently no dark ventral area. 



cJ . Structure similar to that of C. carsoni, including the short 

 apical protarsal inferior spine. Eyes as in C. carsoni. 



Palpus. Tibia three times as long as broad. External apical 

 apophysis black, broad, dilate at apex ; inner angle prolonged and 

 curved inward, outer angle rounded, irregular, with a short sharp 

 spur at the base beneath. Organs very large, occupying whole 

 tarsal width and three-quarters the length. Central lobe narrow, 

 elongate, curved, rather excavate on inner side. A large stout 

 apophysis runs halfway round the inner margin, excavate on 

 inner side, trumpet- shaped at apex, with a black spine beneath ; 

 immediately in front of the trumpet-mouth lies a white, delicate, 

 membranous, curved, fungiform process. 



A single adult male was taken by Mr. G. A. Marshall on the 

 Umfuli Jiiver, South Africa. It is very closely allied to Phoneutria 

 melanogastra Bosb., but it is quite distinct.

Tibial joint of palpus with a short broad process, emarginate or 

 almost bifid at apex. Spur at base of tarsus long, curved, 

 falciform, almost as long as the tibia; its apex sharp, abruptly 

 curved outwards, directed across the apex of the tibial joint. 



Anterior central e3^es much smaller and nearer together than 

 the postei'ior centrals.
