Cephalothorax moderately high ; thoracic part convex, a 

 little widest at dorsal eyes ; cephalic part not qiiite flat, limited 

 by a depression, rounding off from dorsal eyes. Quadrangle 

 of eyes about as long as wide, much wider behind than in 

 front, occupying one-half the cephalothorax. Anterior eyes in 

 a straight row, touching; middle twice as large as lateral. 

 Second row much nearer the first than the third row. Third 

 row not quite as wide as the cephalothorax at that place. 

 Falces parallel, vertical, not robust. Lip longer than wide. 

 Coxse I separated by width of lip. Sternum narrow, truncated 

 in front. Pedicle rather long. 



Color. $ . Cephalothorax black, thinly covered with white 

 hairs. Abdomen black, with a white band around the con- 

 striction. First, second and third pairs of legs pale, with 

 black lines. Fourth pair black, with patella and tarsus pale. 

 Palpi, falces and mouth parts brown. Sternum black. Coxse 

 of first, second and fourth pairs pale; of third pair black. 

 Venter black. 



9 . First and second pairs of legs light brown, with black 

 lines. Third and fourth dark brown. Otherwise like the 

 male. 



The abdominal constriction in the female of this species is 

 less marked than in the male. It is also less marked than in 

 the female of chrysopogon, and it may further be distinguished 

 from that species by its having the anterior as well as the pos- 

 terior part of the abdomen black, while in chrysopogon the 

 region in front of the transverse white band is brown.
