1902,] MR. H. R. HOGG ON AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. 127 



The front median eyes are half their diameter apart, the 

 laterals of the same diameter, three-fourths of a diameter away, 

 lie in front of them near the margin of the clypeus, one diameter 

 only apart. The clypeus is about half their diameter in breadth. 

 The rear row is straight, the oval laterals of the same diameter 

 as the front, total length of the row being twice that of the fi'ont 

 lateral paii-, or six long diameters. The rear medians are very 

 round, half the diameter of the other eyes, foui- diameters apart, 

 1 \ from the laterals and the same from the front median. 



The mandibles are short and pi-otrude horizontally not moi-e 

 than one-fourth of the length of the cephalothoiux. The lip is 

 broader than long, straight in front, and without spines. There 

 are a few spines on the inner side of the maxillce, near the base ; 

 they are rather thickly covered with hair, straight in front, and 

 only pointed in the middle of the basal end. 



Tlie stermim is ovate, rather wide posteriorly, covered with 

 upiight bristles on round bases. The posterior sigilla are as far 

 from the median line as they are faem the mai'gin. The stigma 

 of the male palp is rather long and twisted like a ram's horn ; 

 between the large bulb from which it springs and the metataivsal 

 joint is a smaller bulb. On the tibial joint is a double apophysis 

 thickly covered on the outside with short tapering three-sided 

 spines. 



The legs are rather long and thin. The whole of the meta- 

 tarsi are bespined ; on the tai-si of all legs, except the first pair, 

 are stout spiniform setse. The front two pair of tarsi are scopu- 

 lated, but in one specimen, which shows no other difi'erence, thei-e 

 is no scopula on tarsus i. A double apophysis at the anterioi- end 

 of tibia i. has a stout spine and two horny knobs on the outer 

 half, and three knobs, but no spine, on the inner. The supei-ior 

 tarsal claws have from 4 to 9 teeth, the inferior being bare. The 

 abdomen is oval and is thickly covei-ed on the upper side with 

 stout spines on rounded bases. The superior mamillse are shoi-t 

 and stout, the first joint longer than the othei' two together, the 

 last being quite short. 



There ai'e four males sent by Mr. T. D. Smeaton, of Blakiston, but 

 without locality indicated, and I have named the species after him.
