1010 REY. 0. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW [Dec. 15, 
The superior claws are strongly pectinate, the inferior sharply 
bent downwards. 
The palpi are short, strong, similar in colour to the legs, 
furnished with spiny bristles, mostly at the fore part of the digital 
joint: the cubital and radial joints are very short; the latter 
rather the shortest, very prominent beneath, being produced 
there into a kind of apophysis from the whole underside of the 
joint, whose extremity is subdivided, its outer limb being the 
longest. The digital joint is of moderate size, rounded at its 
hinder extremity, and rather drawn out in a somewhat finger-like 
form before, and has a somewhat flat but round edged lobe at the 
base on the inner side. The palpal organs beneath the hinder part 
of the digital joint are prominent, complex, but tolerably compact. 
Falces long, strong, straight, porrected, with several strongish 
teeth on each side of the groove of the fang. 
Maxille long, strong, straight, rather broadest near the 
extremity, which is rounded on the outer and obliquely truncated 
on the inner side, with some strong, curved, prominent bristles 
along the outer sides. 
Labium much longer than broad, at least two-thirds the length 
of the maxilla. Apex slightly hollow-truncate. 
Sternum somewhat elongate-oval; the anterior extremity is 
truncated but not broadly, and the posterior half has its sides 
straight, but converging to an angular point between the inner 
corners of the coxe of the fourth pair of legs, which very nearly 
meet there. 
Abdomen long, narrow, nearly cylindric, slightly tapering to the 
spinners, which are small and porrected. Colour dull luteous, with 
a small elongate fusiform marking at the middle of the fore part on 
the upperside, indicated by a dark marginal line and a prominent 
point on each side, whence it tapers to a point at the extremity ; 
between the extremity of this marking and the spinners is a 
blackish somewhat angular spot, and along each are a few smaller 
dark spots. 
Hab, Amazons, where it was taken by Prof. Traill, of Aberdeen, 
and included among many other Spiders kindly sent to me from 
that region.

Count Keyserling, in‘ Die Spinnen Amerikas,’ Laterigrade, 
1880, p. 167, pl. iii. fig. 92, describes and figures the female only, 
from Brazil. 
Adult male, length 32 lines. 
Cephalothorax as broad as long; lateral marginal indentations at 
the caput strong, sides of caput at the margin parallel, fore margin 
truncated, profile-line strongly curved, most convex at the occiput ; 
surface smooth and polished, normal indentations slight ; colour 
deep rich brown,
