the extremities of the limbs. The muscle parts are bright white. 

 The abdomen is bright yellow-brown, thickly covered with short 

 dingy yellow-brown hairs, a paler median stripe reaching from the 

 base to about halfway down the back ; on the sides of the abdomen 

 the hairs are white. The underside is quite dark yellow-brown, 

 with four longitudinal white-haired rather narrow stripes. The 

 spinnerets are bright yellow-brown. 



The upper sui'face of the cephcdothorax although flat is con- 

 siderably raised above the level of the side margins, and slopes 

 steeply at the rear. It is one-fourth longer tha,n its breadth in 

 the widest part, and the front is only half the width of the 

 latter. It is rounded at the sides and rear. There is a long and 

 deep median longitudinal fovea extending from the cephalic part 

 to the rear slope. 



The side eyes of the front row are on the lower slope of black 

 tubercles, which, extending farther back than the median ej'es, give 

 the appearance from above of a recurved row. Their lower edges 

 are on a level with the lower edges of the median, and as they are 

 smaller the line of the upper margins is really procurved. The 

 median eyes are about their diameter apart and one-half that 

 distance from the side pair, wiiich are two-thirds of the width of 

 the former. The eyes of the second row are about twice the 

 diameter of the median eyes of the fiont row. They are rather 

 less than their diameter apart, the same distance from the front 

 median, and the total length is clearly less than that of the front 

 row. The median eye-area is broader than long. The eyes of 

 the third row axe four-fifths the diameter of those of the second, 

 five of their diameters apart, and two of the same from the eyes 

 of the second row. The clypeus is about 2| times as broad as the 

 front median eyes. 



The inandihles are kneed at the base, stout, as long as the 

 front of Tihe cephalothorax is broad, and slightly divergent. They 

 are thickly covered with long upstanding bristles. The fangs 

 are broad at the base, strong, and Avell curved. About the 

 middle of the inner margin of the falx-sheath are three lai^ge 

 teeth, all equidistant, at the lower end of the outer margin 

 is one large tooth between two small. The lip is broader than 

 long, straight in front, and less than half the length of the 

 maxillae. 



The sternum is a broad shield-shape, straight in front, pointed 

 at rear, where it passes between the two rear cox«, which aie not 

 quite contiguous. 



The legs are stout and straight, slightly and normally tapering 

 to the anterior ends, but in nowise fine or flexible ; they are 

 armed with numerous long and strong spines. There are scopulee 

 on the tarsi and metatarsi of the front two pairs, on the tarsi 

 only of the rear. The superior claws have six or seven teeth, the 

 inferior are smooth. There is a pair of spines on patelJje of pairs 

 3 and 4, none on patellie of 1 and 2. The femoral joint of the palp
