Aganippe pulleinei, sp. nov. (Plate XIII. fi^-s. 3, 4, & text- 

 fig. 24.) 



Cephalothorax, mandibles, lip, maxillje, and sternum bright 

 yellow, the eye-space mostly black ; the coxse and femora of the 

 legs are orange, the patellfe and tibiae darker ; the metatarsus and 

 tarsus yellow. On the mandibles are rather long brown hairs, 

 but elsewhere the haii's are all changed to bristles, and on the 

 legs amd sternum into spines. The abdomen is yellow, with 

 brown spinous sette on the upjjer part. 



The cejjhalothorax is longei- than broad, narrowing in front to 

 less than half its total width. The cephalic part, moderately 

 luised and rather narrow, is bounded by a rather deep side de- 

 pression. The fovea is straight or slightly procurved ; a row of 

 stout setpe extends round the margin. The mandibles ai-e short 

 but rather more protrudent than the last described, the fangs long 

 and curved. There are seven rather small teeth on each of the 

 edges of the falx-sheath and five quite small in an intermediate 

 row. 



The lij) is at least twice as broad as long, slightly hollowed in 

 front and without spines. The maxillce are rounded at base and 

 straight in front, without prominences. A few spines on the 

 inner lower corner. 



The sternum is piriform, half as broad in front as between 2nd 

 and 3rd legs, clothed with short upright spinous bristles on bases. 

 Posterior sigilla away from margin.
