two black patches on the clypens, but the same thick white 

 hairs. Tlie mamlibles are deeper yellow, with a black streak on 

 the inner edge of each, reaching from the base almost to the point, 

 where it is again yellow. The fangs are red-brown. The lip is 

 grey, the maxillaj pale yellow, with broad nearly white margins 

 on the inner side of the former and front of the latter. The 

 sternum is dark yellow-brown, thickly covered with white hairs 

 and grey bristles. The legs are pale yellow on the upper side, 

 with a grey streak nearly the whole length of the under side on 

 the femoral, patellar, and tibial joints ; covered with white or pale 

 greyish-yellow hairs. The scopulse and claw-tufts are pale grey. 



The abdomen is yellow-grey, with a brown median scollop&d 

 stripe, darkened at the edges, reaching from the base to the 

 spinnerets. The whole rear part is rather darker with a reticu- 

 lation of grey on the yellow, the sti'ipe remaining darker still. 

 The hairs are white, with the exception of a few upstanding 

 bi-own ones on the stripe and at the base. The under side is 

 greyish yellow, covered with white intermixed with short brown 

 haii'S. The hairs on the yellow sj^innerets are brown. 



The cephalothorax is convex, rounded at the sides and broadest 

 a little in front of the rear end. The front part is about one-half 

 the greatest width, and the sides of this, as far back as the rear 

 row of eyes, are straight. 



The eyes are in four rows. The second, row, the laterals of the 

 front row, being vei'tically just clear of the median first pair. 

 These are all of the same diameter and half their width apart. 

 The rear two pairs are again of equal size, one-third larger than 

 the front, the median ones being one-third of their diameter apart 

 and the same distance from the front laterals. The median are 

 14 times their diameter from the rear laterals respectively, and 

 the latter are four times their diameter apai't. 



The dypeus is as broad as the front eyes. 



The mandibles are kneed at the base, divergent, and at the 

 anterior end half their width at the base.* They are as long as the 

 front of the cephalotho''ax is wide. There are two teeth on the 

 inner margin of the falx-sheath, and three smaller on the outer. 



The stemium is broad shield-shaped, straight in front and 

 curving to a point between the rear coxse, which are not quite con- 

 tiguous. It is thickly covered with downlying fiat hairs and 

 upstanding bristles. 



The Up is broader than long, rounded at the side and in front, 

 where it has a broad sloping edge. 



The maxlllce are convex, upright, and about three times the 

 height of the lip. Fiom their base they curve outwards on both 

 inner and outer margins to a rounded upper end, so that they 

 are broadest in the middle. They have a few short upright 

 bristly hairs. 



The legs are moderately fine, covered with long powerful spines. 

 There is a thick scopula on tlie tarsus a,nd metatarsus, and claw- 

 tufts under the weak curved pair of claws. On tibii^e 1 and 2
