The j^aliyi are twice the length of the cephalothorax, the tibial 

 joint of the male being considerably swollen in the middle, and 

 with two apophyses, one above the other, on the side. The stigma 

 is 1| times as long as the bulb, and is twisted, but not so much 

 as in A . smeatoni. 



The front middle eyes are 1 \ diameters apart. In the male these 

 are as large as the long diameter of the laterals, but in the female 

 only |ths. The front latei'als are two of their diameters apart ; 

 they are in the male the long diameter away from the median, 

 in the female 1|. The i-ear I'ow is recurved, both laterals and 

 median oval, the latter in the female being as large as the front 

 median, from which they are distant the diameter of the side eyes. 

 They are somewhat nearer than this to those of the rear side, which 

 are as long as the front side eyes. The trapezium formed by the 

 rear median and fi-ont laterals is very slightly narrowed in front. 



Tlie legs, rather thin and tapering, are somewhat thickly 

 covered with bristly spines. The apophyses at the anterior end 

 of tibia 1 of the male are hardly to be distinguished from those 

 of A. smeatoni. The pectinations on the superior tarsal claws 

 vary from 7 in front to 3 on the outer rear claw. 



The ahdo')nen is oval, the upper side being furnished with 

 spiniform setse, both upper and lender side are covered with shoi-t 

 fine hair. 



The superior spinnerets are short and stout, the first joint 

 longest, the third quite short. The inferior are one diameter 

 apart. 



The female is coloured the same as the male, and is pi-obably 

 not fully groAvn ; except in the smaller size of the fi-ont middle 

 eyes she does not difier from the males, and comes from the 

 same locality, so that I take them to coi'respond. Three males 

 and the female come from Blakiston, and one male from the coast 

 a,t HaUett's Cove. I have named them after the sender of the 

 latter, Mr. W. PuUeine, jun.
