1902.] NEW HARVEST-SPIDERS. 411 



Mandibles (largely hidden fiom view) with a small tubercle on 

 the basal segment, a much larger one on the proximal end of the 

 second. 



Palpi (text-fig. 84, A) very powei'ful ; trochantei- with shoi-t 

 superior and a long inferior spine ; f emui- robust, convex dorsally, 

 and armed with four or five spines, externally furnished wdth a few 

 tubercles, armed below externally with six long spines, its innei- 

 surface with about six longer and shorter spines ; patella strongly 

 constricted, with one short external and two long internal spines ; 

 tibia longer than patella, armed extei-nally with thi-ee long spines 

 and a basal tubercular spine, internally with four spines, the 

 distal short ; tarsus long, armed with three pairs of long spines, 

 a pair of distal, and one proximal external tubercular spine. 



Oox£e of legs granular; of 1st spined in front, of 2nd and 4tli 

 with one external spine; the rest of the segments unspined, 

 nearly smooth ; femur of 1st weakly tubercular below. Tarsal 

 segments 3, 10, 4 (fractured on 4th leg) ; first and second segments 

 of first tarsus subequal, the sum of them rather longer than the 

 first or proximal segment ; on the third tarsus the first segment 

 as long as the sum of the other tln-ee, the second and fourth sub- 

 equal, and either of them longer than the second. 



Measurements in mm. : — Total length 3*5 ; palp about 6 ; of 

 4th leg 8-5. 



Log. New Zealand [Dr. Richardson). 



There is in the British Museum a second well-marked species of 

 this genus represented by a damaged specimen without indication 

 of locaKty, which, for these reasons, I refrain from naming. 



Genus Lomanella, nov. 



Distinguished from the hitherto described genera of Trisenony- 

 chidee, with the exception of Sorense')iella, by the position of the 

 ocular tubercle some distance behind the anterior boi-der of the 

 dorsal scute ; the area in front of the tubei-cle, however, falls 

 obliquely downwards and forwards. Spiracles conspicuous, on a 

 level with the middle of the distal half of the 4th coxa, which is 

 not enlarged. Palpi weakly spined. 



Type, L. raniceps. 



LOMANELLA RANICEPS, sp. n. (Text-fig. 84, B.) 



Colour blackish, dorsal surface (text-fig. 84, B) ornamented 

 mesially with transA^erse yellow stripes, a large yellow patch above 

 the bases of the 3rd and 4th legs ; legs and palpi variegated 

 yellow and black ; sterna longitudinally banded black and yellow. 



Dorsal stirface closely, finely, and evenly gi'anixlar all over, the 

 fused and free terga indicated by transverse series of coarsei; 

 granules ; anterior border of scu.te evenly convex, with a pi-ocess 

 arising above the base of the 2nd leg, concave above the 3rd and 

 4th legs, then evenly convex to the middle line posteriorly. 



Mandibles small, basal segment unarmed above, its distal end
