The eyes of the front row are clearly procurved. ‘The side 
eyes not quite = the diameter of the median, having their centres 
on a level with the lower part of the latter. The median pair 
are half their diameter apart, the same distance from the eyes of 
the second row and slightly less from their own laterals. The 
clypeus is broad, the distance to the root of the mandibles being 
twice the diameter of the front median, but a transverse edge 
marking runs across at more than half the distance away from 
the eyes; the whole distance is of the same colour and covered 
with hair. 
The eyes of the second row are rather more than half their 
diameter apart, their total width being 13 of that of the front 
row, Those of the third roware three times their diameter apart 
and = the diameter oF those of the second row. 
The mandibles ave 3 longer than the front patelle, are thickly 
covered with downlying matted hair, interspersed with upstanding 
bristles; on the inner edge of the falx-sheath are three equally 
large teeth, and on the outer edge one similar sized large tooth 
between two smaller ones. 
The lip is straight across the front, but the edge slightly 
hollowed and bevelled forward ; it widens towards the base, where 
it narrows somewhat suddenly. It is clearly less than half the 
length of the maxille, which are broadest § of the distance from 
she base; rounded in front and on the outside, and narrowed 
considerably at the basal end. 
The sternwm is broadly ovate, almost pointed at the base, thickly 
covered with short coarse hair. 
The abdomen is a long oval, thickly covered with short fine 
downlying hair. 
The spinnerets are rather prominent, covered with thick 
coarse hair. 
The epigyne is only slightly longer than broad and not much 
narrower anteriorly than at its base; the median longitudinal 
ridge broadens out considerably from the basal to the anterior end. 
The legs are moderately long and stout, thickly covered with short 
downlying hair and upstanding bristles. There are two median 
spines on the upper sides of tibize 111. and iv., none on the same of 
tibiee i. and 11. 
The palpi are clearly longer than the cephalothorax. 
In colouring, pattern, and size, this spider is very like Z. lewck- 
artit Thor. fret Peak Downs, Queensland, as described by L. Koch, 
but differs in having the pattern of the under side of the abdomen 
bright brown instead of black-brown, The clypeus is much wider, 
instead of slightly only, than the front median eyes, which are 
rather wider apart than they are from the side eyes instead of 
equidistant. The palpi are longer instead of shorter than the 
cephalothorax, and the lip less instead of more than half the 
length of the maxille. The epigynal ridge of leuchkartii is drawn 
by L. Koch widest in the middle, while here it certainly widens 
from the middle anteriorly.
