1896. ] AND LITTLE-KNOWN SPIDERS. 1011 
Eyes unequal in size ; in two curved rows, the convexity of the 
curves directed forwards, the anterior row much shortest, but more 
strongly curved. The fore-laterals are largest; the hind-centrals 
perhaps slightly the smallest. The four central eyes form a 
quadrangle longer than broad, and its fore side slightly longer 
than the hinder one. The lateral pairs are seated on a strong 
geminated tubercular prominence, and the interval between those 
of each pair is equal to the diameter of the fore-lateral eye. The 
interval between the hind-centrals is equal to 14 diameters,and each 
is about 3 diameters from the hind-lateral on its side. The height 
of the clypeus is less than one-third that of the facial space. 
Legs very unequal in length, 2-1, 4-3, those of the first and 
second pairs almost equal and much the longest; spines not 
numerous nor very long nor strong; the fore half of the tibie, as 
well as the metatarsi, of the first and second pairs are densely 
clothed with prominent black hairs, giving them a strongly tufted 
appearance. Colour of the first two pairs brown, paler than the 
cephalothorax, the tarsi and a central annulus on the tibiz yellow ; 
the third and fourth pairs also yellow; the tarsiend with numerous 
bristly hairs and a claw-tuft. 
Falces moderately strong, conical, vertical, and similar in colour 
to the cephalothorax ; at their extremity on the inner side they are 
densely furnished with strong hairs. 
Palpi short, strong; cubital and radial joints short and of equal 
length, the latter broader at the fore extremity than at the base, 
but with no apophysis, its anterior side is furnished with spine-like 
bristles ; the digital joint is of moderate size and regular oval form, 
pointed before, clothed with short strong hairs ; the palpal organs 
are simple and not very prominent, consisting of a flattened round 
lobe surrounded by the almost double coil of a long black-brown 
tapering spine, beginning at the base and ending at the anterior 
extremity in a fine point. 
Mazille long, strong, a little inclined to the labium, outer 
margin hollow, broadest at the extremity, where the outer side is 
obliquely truncated and the inner rounded. 
Labium large, higher than wide, about two-thirds the height of 
the maxille, narrowing gradually to the apex, which is truncated 
and about half the width of the base; the sides of the labium are 
slightly convexly curved. The colour of the maxillz and labium is 
yellow-brown. 
The sternum is heart-shaped, yellow-brown, darker on the 
margins; it is slightly longer than broad, hollow, truncate at its fore 
extremity and obtusely truncate at its hinder part. The coxz of 
the fourth pair of legs very nearly meet at their hinder extremity, 
which is rounded on the inner side. 
Abdomen broadest towards the hinder part, where it is of a 
somewhat rounded angular form, truncated before, pointed behind, 
upperside somewhat flattened: it is of a luteous colour; on the 
centre of the upperside are four red-brown spots forming a 
quadrangle, whose length is greater than its breadth and its
