1902.] NEW HARVEST-SPIDERS. 405 



one-third longer than patella, with three long internal and two 

 long external spines in addition to some smaller ones between and 

 beyond the latter ; tarsus with three internal and three external 

 spines, the proximal external small ; claw longish and slightly 

 ciu'ved. Coxa of palp and of 1st leg bispinate in front ; coxa 

 of 1st and 2nd legs tubercular, the latter externally spinate ; 

 remaining coxfe nearly smooth, some tubercles on the posterior 

 border of 3rd and 4th. Maxillary process of 2nd leg (text- 

 fig. 84, D) double, consisting of a large quadrate tubercular 

 process in addition to the normal process. Remaining segments 

 of legs not spined, femora of 1st and 2nd at most tubercular; 

 tarsal segments 3, 10 or 11, 4, 4; distal extremity of protarsi 

 elongate, subconical. 



Measurements in mm.: — Total length 6 ; palp 8; 1st leg 10, 

 4th 14. 



Loc. West Taieri Bush, Otago, New Zealand {J. V. Jennings). 



In a young specimen of this species (3"5 mm. long) the tarsus 

 of the 1st leg is bisegmented, that of the 2nd bisegmented with 

 mei'ely indications of subsegmentatiou, those of the 3rd and 4th 

 trisegmented, the distal segment of the 4th showing faint signs of 

 subdivision ; the stei'num is more like that of Adceitm in shape. 



The known species of the genus from the Australian Region 

 may be tabulated as follows : — 



a. Dorsal scute furnished posteriorly with transversely and meta- 



mei'icall}' disposed series of granules and with one pair of 

 spiniform tubercles rapax. 



b. Dorsal scute without metamerically disposed rows of gi-anules 



and no paired spiniform tubercles. 

 a}. Dorsal scute granular or coarsely coriaceous. 



a-. Dorsal scute coriaceous ; distal portion of protarsal segment 



of legs elongate, pyramidal coriacea. 



h". Dorsal scute coarsely and sparsely granular ; distal portion 



of protar sus spherical and nodular aspera. 



b^. Dorsal scute neither granular nor coarsely coriaceous siMmms. 



The species from Stephen's Isl., New Zealand, recently described 

 by Loman (Zool. Jahrb., Syst. xvi. 1902, p. 214) as Ifuncicc sperata, 

 is said to differ generically from Trkenonyx in having the ocular 

 tubercle large, convex and unarmed.

AcuMONTiA ROSTRATA, sp. n. (Text-fig. 82, p. 406.) 



S . Colour a uniform blackish brown. 



Dorsal scute with lightly sinuous sides, granular, elevated 

 posteriorly ; armed in front on each side with three suberect 

 spines in addition to the three, one median and one on either side, 

 which project forwards between and externally to the mandibles 

 (text-fig. 82, A). Ocular tubercle very high, armed with a few
