5 .• — Carapace, abdomen, and legs almost entii'ely encrusted with 

 minute grains of grey grit, concealing the purple-brown colour 

 and the granular surface of the carapace, save here and there. 

 The encrustation also obliterates or conceals the rufous hairs, 

 and many of the bacilliform hairs as well. Underside compara- 

 tively free from encrustation, fulvous. Abdomen, sternum, eyes, 

 labium, and coxa of pedipalp similar in character to those of the 

 male. Anterior row of eyes, however, slightly recurved. 



Legs shorter and stouter than in the male ; tarsus i. furnished
