336 MR, H. R. HOGG ON AUSTRALASIAN SPIDERS. [Apr. 7, 



formerly in the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, have 

 disappeared, this is pi'obably the only specimen in Europe now- 

 available for reference. 



The cephalothorax, mandibles, legs, and palpi are uniformly dai-k 

 red-brown, smooth and shiny, the abdomen dark yellow-brown. 

 The thoracic fovea is long, deep and procurved, and three deep 

 radial indentations on either side of the thoracic part. 



The four lateral eyes and front median pair are of the same 

 size * (3), the laterals being raised, the medians sessile, their 

 diaineter apart. The intermediate row sessile and slightly smaller 

 than the others (2|). They lie just above the level of the front 

 row, which is straight and two-thirds of an eye-breadth from the 

 margin of the clypeus. The distance between the posterior 

 laterals is 43 ; between anterior and posteiior laterals at each 

 side 8 ; between the posterior laterals and intermediates at each 

 side 9 ; between the intermediates 28 ; between the intermediates 

 and the anterior median at each side 10| ; and between the 

 anterior laterals and the medians at each side 20. 



The rastellum consists of three rows of short stout spines. On 

 the inner margin of the falx-sheath are about 9 large teeth. A 

 few small intermediate and two large teeth, with thick fringe, on 

 the outer margin. 



There are numerous club-shaped spines on the fore part of the 

 lip and on the maxillte ; the latter very square with a protuberance 

 on the outer upper corner. The lip is rounded in front and twice 

 as long as broad. 



The sternal sigillse are large and away from the margin. 



The legs are short and stout. The three tarsal claws and female 

 palp-claw are short, stout and well curved, with one long tooth 

 near the base in each. 



The abdomen is oval, high, slightly ovex-hanging the cephalo- 

 thorax, and thickly covered with smooth downlying hair. The 

 spinnerets are short, the first joint of the superior pair is twice 

 the length of the second ; the inferior pair are as long as the 

 second joint of the superior.
