minutely granulate. Cephalic ridge bearing three longitudinal 
lines of fine rufous hairs; ocular region more densely clothed 
with similar hairs; thoracic area clothed with converging lines 
and margin of carapace fringed with rufous hairs. Cephalic and 
thoracic impressions distinct. Central fovea deep, procurved. Base 
of carapace slightly emarginate, fringed with short bacilliform 
hairs. Cephalic area almost two-thirds the length of carapace. 
Abdomen dull brown, bearing four longitudinal dorsal rows of 
eight to nine small tubercles, each emitting from its summit a 
rufous, plumose, bacilliform hair. Lateral area finely tuberculate, 
furnished with scattered rufous hairs. Ventral surface pale rufous, 
rugulose. Spinners four: posterior pair pale, straw-yellow, dusky 
above, three-jointed, one-third total length of abdomen; basal 
joints equal, apical joint twice the length of basal: anterior pair 
equal in length to basal joint of posterior pair, almost contiguous, 
half a diameter apart. 
Ocular tumulus tuberculiform, globular. Anterior row of eyes 
slightly procurved. Anterior centrals largest, one-third their 
diameter apart and from anterior laterals. Diameter of latter 
almost equal to that of former. Posterior centrals smallest, almost
