Lycosa STIRLING, sp. nov. (Text-fig. 87.) 
Female. Cephalothorax brown, with paler median, side, and 
marginal stripes. Mandibles black-brown, with red-brown hair. 
Lip, maxille, and sternum red-brown, with dark red-brown hair. 
Coxe dark red-brown, with paler yellow-brown hair at anterior 
ends. 
The abdomen above is black-brown, with dark red-brown hair 
and with just a faint pattern. Underneath bright red-brown, 
with black shield broadest at the genital fold and tapering to the 
spinnerets. 
Legs and palpi yellow-brown all over, lighter on the under sides. 
Tn the male the stripes on the cephalothorax are more silvery, 
and the hair on the coxe and legs generally paler yellow-brown. 
The cephalothorax is of the high narrow type, the clypeus 
being more than twice as wide as the front median eyes. 
The front row of eyes is slightly procurved, the median eyes 
slightly less than their diameter apart and the same distance from 
those of the second row. The laterals have their diameter slightly 
smaller than that of the median, and are # of it from the median. 
The eyes of the second row are twice the diameter of the front 
median apart, and their diameter slightly more. 
The eyes of the third row are four times their diameter apart. 
In the male the front row of eyes is rather more procurved than 
in the female, and the eyes of the second row just their diameter 
apart. 
The mandibles are longer than the width of the cephalothorax 
in front. They have three large equal teeth on the lower edge of 
the falx-sheath and one large between two small on the upper 
edge. 
The lip is as broad as long and less than half the height of the 
maxille. 
The sternum is of a broad shield-shape, thickly covered with 
coarse flatly placed hairs. 
The legs are thickly covered with short flatly placed hairs, there 
ave no bare long streaks, and a fair number of erect bristles. On 
the upper side of the tibial joint the female has two spines on 
the 3rd and 4th pairs. In the male two on all the tibie. 
The tibial joint of the palpi is longer than the patella. 
In the female the epigyne is narrowest anteriorly, and is 
23 times as long as it 1s broad at the base. The median ridge is 
be roadest at the base and tapers anteriorly, Outside the epigyne 
proper, on each side of the base, is a darkened oval hollow, with 
its longer diameter lying longitudinally.
