1902.] MR. H. R. HOGG ON AUSTRALASIAN SPIDERS. 453 



Collection, He says the rear middle eyes are 1| times as far 

 from the laterals as from one another. There are two dried 

 specimens (females) in the Brit. Mus. Collection, without localities, 

 which I refer to this — Koch's specimen had no locality other than 

 Australia. 



In those I have examined the eyes are black on yellow rims ; 

 except in this, the want of black markings, and the longer distance 

 between median and side rear eyes, it is very near to my /. tvood- 

 wcirdi, above. 



ISOPEDA CORDATA L. Koch. 



Isopeda cordata L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 694. 



Koch described this from a non-adult female from Sydney and 

 distinguishes it by the rear row of eyes being slightly recurved 

 and having no scopula on metatarsus iv. 



It has not been recorded since, and is a somewhat doubtful 

 species. 



Isopeda hirsuta L. Koch, 



Isopeda hirsuta L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 693. 



A male from Bowen, Queensland ; not recorded since. 



Has a light-coloured sternum, flat cephalothorax, no spines on 

 tibia iii. or iv. above ; front row of eyes eqiial and equidistant, 

 very near the margin of the clypeus. It only seems to differ 

 from /. insignis Thor. in having the front eyes farther apart. 



Isopeda aurea L. Koch. 



Isopeda aurea L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 696. 



Koch described a male and female (both young and undeveloped) 

 from Port Mackay. 



There is in the Brit. Mus. Collection a magnificent specimen 

 (female) which I take to be the full-grown of his species, from 

 Queensland also. It is red-brown, thickly covered with pale 

 yellow to orange hair, the femora with brown spots undei-neath. 



The measurements are as follows : —
