140 MR. H. R. HOGG ON AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. [June 3, 



anterior end of the two reai- pairs. The metatarsus of the front 

 pair, characteristically protuberant on the under side, springs from 

 a narrow base, and that of the second pair is also distinctly curved. 



The tibial spur is rather nearer to the base than to the front 

 end and quite as well formed as in Chenistonia macidata. The 

 superior tarsal claws are pectinated in two rows of about nine 

 teeth in each. The third short and bare. 



As in Chenistonia the metatarsal joint of the palpi is somewhat 

 long, and cut straight across the end. The stigma is curved and 

 finely pointed, slightly longer than the palpal bvilb. The abdomen 

 is oval, rather long and narrow, the yellow chitinous shield and 

 gill-coverings being very prominent on the black ground as also 

 the spinnerets. The inferior pair of spinnerets are well developed, 

 1| diameters apart at the base. The first joint of the superior pair 

 is 1^ times the length of the second, the third being unfortunately 

 destroyed. 



One male only from Deka Station, near Blackball .

Female. Oephalothorax, mandibles, lip, maxillse, sternum, legs, 

 and palpi a i-ather dingy yellow-brown, in most parts sparsely 

 clothed with long upstanding dark brown hairs. The abdomen is 

 a dingy greyish yellow, with short fine downlying yellow hairs 

 interspersed on upper side, with long thin upstanding biistles on 

 round roots. Spinnerets and gill-covers yellow ; front median 

 eyes deep orange, with black centres on black rims, other eyes 

 pale yellow. 



The Gephalothoi-ax is two millimetres longer than broad, slightly 

 raised from in front of the thoracic fovea, which is procurved, 

 about equally narrowed at front and rear. 



The eyes are on a well-raised tubercle, the breadth of the fi'ont 

 median eyes from the margin of the clypeus. The front row is 

 straight, or from in fi-ont slightly procurved, the median pair 

 three-fourths of their diameter apart. The laterals one-half that
