NEW ZEALAND SPIDERS.

protuberances at the end, and five rather large teeth at intervals 

 down the mai^gin of the falx-sheath. 



The male differs from T. ferox L. Koch in the larger second 

 tooth from top on the inside of the mandible, in the apophyses at 

 the head, the two inner curving in the opposite direction to the 

 outer, in the mandibles being quite as long as the cephalothorax, 

 instead of shorter, in the tibial joint of the palp being distinctly 

 longer than the patellar, and the palpal stigma being not more 

 than half as long as in T. ferox, and the legs longer in proportion.

T. ferox L. Koch, fairly common along the eastern and southern 

 coasts of Australia, has not been previously recorded from New 

 Zealand. The New Zealand and Australian females are practi- 

 cally identical, and I consider this to be a local variety, which I 

 have named after Miss Cross, who sends a male and a female from 

 Ruakura. 



Uliodon hawkesi, sp. n. (Text-fig. 93.) 



Female. The cephalothorax is bright, rather pale yellow-brown, 

 with short upstanding bi'own bristles and downlying white haiis. 

 On the cephalic part there are three longitudinal dai-ker lines — one 

 median reaching from the eyes to the rear end, and one shorter 

 each side, also a darker line round its margin. At the sides of the 

 thoracic part is a darker brown mai-ginal stripe.
