IMO BET. O. P. OiMBEIDGtB ON NEW [Dec. 15, 



The superior claws are strongly pectinate, the inferior sharply 

 bent downwards. 



The paZjai 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 

 ratlior the sliortost, very prominent beneath, being produced 

 there into a kind of apophysis from the whole underside of tlio 

 joint, whoso extremity is subdivided, its outer limb being tho 

 longest. The digital joint is of moderate size, rounded at its 

 hinder extremity, and ratiier 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. 



Maxillce 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 maxillae. 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 coxse 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 daric 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. 



Hob. Amazons, where it was taken by Prof. Traill, of Aberdeen, 

 and included among many other Spiders kindly sent to me from 

 that region.

Ceplmlothorax as broad as long ; lateral marginal indentations at 

 the caput strong, sides of caput at the mai-gin parallel, fore margin 

 truncated, profile-line strongly curved, most convex at the occiput ;
