1905. | SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. 585 
yellow decumbent hair and long erect brown bristles. Lip, 
maxille, and sternum dark red-brown, with dark yellow-brown 
hair. Coxe with rather browner hair. 
The abdomen above is yellow or grey-brown, almost orange on 
the sides in some specimens, in others paler yellow-brown. The 
whole of the under side from base to spinnerets of a dull dingy 
brown, about the same colour as the coxe. Legs and palpi red- 
brown, with pale yellow-grey hair somewhat darker underneath. 
The cephalothorax is as long as patella cum tibia iv. ; as broad 
as femur i. It is slightly wider in front than one-half the greatest 
breadth. 
There are three large teeth of equal size on the lower edge of 
the falx-sheath, and one large tooth between two small teeth, the 
lower of which is a little distance off, on the upper side. 
The front row of eyes is straight along the lower edge, the 
larger median being 14 times the diameter of the laterals ; they are 
one-half the diameter of the larger apart. The clypeus is as broad 
as the median front eyes, and they are the same distance from the 
pair of the second row. The latter are § of their diameter apart, 
and the row is one-third longer than the front row. 
The lip is broader than ‘long, and barely half as long as the 
maxillee. 
There are two spines above on tibie 111. and iv., none on 1. 
and 11. 
There are five females from the Gilbert River, Riverina, all 
fully developed. Two large and three smaller vary considerably 
in size, but I can liseon er no structural differences between 
them. 
The epigyne is of a horseshoe-shape, slightly broader than long. 
The median ridge broad at the base, and tapers to a narrow ridge 
anteriorly.
