protarsi of all four pairs of legs have a sinuous rust-red band, 

 starting from the base (at the outer side in i, and ii., at the inner 

 side in iii. and iv.), crossing the segment, and terminating towards 

 the apex. The tarsi of all four pairs as well as of the palpi have 

 a central rust-red band above. Abdomen clothed with olive-grey 

 and ochre-grey hairs, having also a longitudinal narrow central 

 dark band commencing towards the anterior margin, becoming 

 narrower and more indistinct towards the spinners. On each side, 

 diverging obliquely from a dilatation of the central baud, are 

 three slender indistinct brown bars. The shoulders of the 

 abdomen are pale olive, while the apical two-thirds, at least, are 

 suffused with darker broA\-n. The ventral area is clothed with 

 velvety black-brown hairs. Underneath, the tibiae and patellae of the 

 palpi and of legs i. and ii. are clothed with a dense covering of deep 

 chocolate-brown hairs. The femora of the first two pairs of legs 

 and of the palpi, and the coxae and trochanters of all the legs, are 

 clothed with a black-brown velvet covering of hairs. The last two 

 pairs of legs are clothed with brown and ochreous-grey hairs 

 mingled. Protarsi i. and ii. are scopulate entirely to the base, 

 those of iii. almost to the base, those of iv. rather over halfway at 

 the sides, but divided in the centre by a band of dark hairs. 



Structure. Carapace in profile gradually rising towards the 

 ocular eminence, moderately compressed. Thoracic fovea straight, 

 transverse. Ocular eminence scarcely raised, much broader, two 

 and a half times, than long. Anterior row of eyes slightly 

 procurved, the longitudinal diameter of the laterals equal to the 

 diameter of the centrals. The centrals | of a diameter apart, 

 I from the laterals. 



Eyes of posterior row smaller than those of the anterior. The 

 laterals of both rows about half a transverse diameter apart. 



Inner margin of fang-groove with 14 stout teeth, with two 

 short rows of 5-6 minute teeth opposite the basal two or three on 

 then outer side. 



The fringe of hairs on the outer margin becomes obsolete towards 

 the base, giving place to six or seven bristles, very stout at the base, 

 filiform at the apex, set very wide apart (PL LIV. fig. 2). These 

 constitute the pecten of the stridulating-organ. The coxse of the 

 pedipalp (PL LIV. fig. 3) bear on the inner side below the suture a 

 thin covering of grey hairs, and further down towards the margin 

 and the base, close to the fringe of red hairs, lie a series of 15 

 long, curving, clavate, chitinous keys, the anterior ones the longest. 

 These constitute the lyra (PL LIV. fig. 4) of the stridulating-organ. 



The inner anterior angles of the coxae of the palpus and the 

 apex of the labium are set with numerous minute cuspules. 

 These become more scattered towards the middle of the labium. 



The tibiae of the last two pairs of legs have one spme (iii.) and 

 two spines (iv.) at their apex beneath ; of the first two pairs, two 

 spines at the apex beneath. The first pair of sigilla are situate 

 at the base of the labium ; the second pair very small, submar- 

 ginal ; the third pair circular, small, but distinct, remote from the
