The protarsi aud tarsi iii. and iv. are numerously spinous, the 

 latter being densely scopulate, less so in i. and ii. The rastellum 

 of the mandibles is simple, not dentate. 



The outer margin of the fang-gi-oove bears five, the inner six 

 stout teeth, with a few smaller ones in the central area towards 

 the base. 



5 . General characters the same as in the male with the 

 following exceptions : — The apex of the labium and the anterior 

 margin of the coxse of the pedipalp are studded with cuspules ; 

 those on the former numbering from 6-8. The outer margin of 

 the fang-groove bears 7 teeth, the inner four, while the inter- 

 mediate area bears 8 smaller cusps. The rastellum is set at its 

 apex with 12-14 short blunt cusps. Tibia i. has five spines on 

 the inner side. 



The tarsi of all four pairs of legs are devoid of a true scopula, 

 being furnished with a few hairs only. 



A male aud two females were in the collection sent by Dr. Ince, 

 the latter probably not mature. Although one cannot be absolutely 

 certain, it is probable that this Spider is the male of A. hartii 

 Pocock.

 protarsus not scopulate, with a stout spine on the outer side and 

 another at apex beneath. Tibia i. with tvA o spurs at the apex 

 beneath ; the outer broad at its apex, beai'ing a spine on each side, 

 the inner spur shorter with single spine on its inner side 

 (PL LIV. fig. 8). Tibia i. also bears 3 spines (1-1-1) on the outer 

 side, one being apical. 



Protarsus ii. scopulate to base, \Adth one spine on outer side and 

 one at apex beneath. Tibia ii. with 3 spines (1-1-1) on outer side 

 and 3 towards apex on inner side. Pemora i. and ii. with a single 

 spiiie on the anterior apical sides.
