 Aganippe smeatoni, sp. nov. (Plate XIII. fig. 7 &, text-fig. 23.) 

 Oephalothorax and mandibles rich yellow- brown ; lip, maxiUee, 

 sternnm, and coxse somewhat brighter, with rather pale yeUow 

 hair, short and fine, and short stout dark brown bristles. Legs 

 yellow-brown, lighter than cephalothorax. Abdomen yellow above 

 with darker brown median area, underneath dai-k yellow-grey ; 

 in some specimens the upper median area is almost lolack. 



The cephalothorax is longer than broad, narrowed to nearly 

 one-half both anterioidy and posteriorly, rounded at sides. The 

 cephalic part rises graduaUy fi-om a deep fovea and side de- 

 pressions to the ej^e-space, behind which is a ti^ansverse depres- 

 sion. The cephalic fovea is straight or slightly procurved and 

 lies at the bottom of an elliptical depression. A fi-inge of stout 

 short procui'ved spinifoi'm sette runs round the margin of the 

 thoracic area, and there are two broad depressions on each side 

 from the end of the fovea to the margin.
