 Legs, 4132 ; 1st a little the stoutest.

The cephalic part is very high and is rounded behind and 

 on the sides; there is a deep constriction a little behind the dor- 

 sal eyes, behind which the thoracic part rises a little and then 

 slants off quite steeply, growing narrower toward the posterior 

 end. The quadrangle of the eyes is one-fourth wider than 

 long, is a very little wider behind than in front, and occupies

 all close together, forming a row slightly curved downward, 

 the middle being twice as large as the lateral. The second row 

 is nearer the first than the third row. The dorsal eyes are 

 plainly larger than the lateral. The pedicle is short. The ab-

 above, but across the anterior part of the venter is a deep crease 

 which runs wp on to the sides. The falces are long and hori- 

 zontal ; they are narrow in the proximal third and then widen 

 out ; the inner falces are perfectly flat ; the upper surface is 

 nearly flat, but rounds a little on the sides, the junction of the 

 upper and under surfaces forming a sharp ridge ; two rows of 

 teeth are visible from below ; the fang is as long as the falx and is 

 curved only at the extremity. The lip is a little longer than wide. 



Color. The whole body is of a rich, deep brown color and 

 is covered with short, yellowish hairs ; on the cephalic part these
