Typostola major, iiov. sp. 



Cephalothorax red-brown, somewhat darker in front, clothed 

 with short yellow hair, nearly white between the eyes ; mandibles 

 black-brown ; beard red-brown ; lip and maxillse red-brown, pale 

 in front, fringes orange, beards pale yellow. Sternum and coxse 

 orange, the front one of latter thickly covered with long yellow 

 hair, others bare. Legs bi"ight reddish brown. Abdomen dark 

 brown with broAvn hair. 



The cephalothorax is very slightly longer than broad, distinctly 

 longer than tibia iv., its square front is more than one-half its 

 greatest breadth, and clearly broader than the mandibles are 

 long. The median fovea and those at junction of cephalic part 

 rather indistinct. 



Both rows of eyes are straight, the laterals equal ; the eyes of 

 the front row are equidistant half the diamater of the median 

 which are four-fifths the diameter of side, and their diameter 

 distant from the rear median ; the latter are more than once and 

 a half of their diameter apart, being three-fifths of laterals, and 

 more than twice their diameter from the latter. The median eye- 

 squai'e is as broad as long. 



The abdomen is ovate, truncate in front, thickly covered with 

 coarse downlying hair ; three pairs of muscle-spots above and 

 four longitudinal hair-lines on underside as in T. magnifica. The 

 epigyne is white in the median area instead of dark-coloured as 

 in the last, and is flat without any median ridge, the points of 

 the horseshoe chitinous frame being well apart as in the Isopeda 

 type generally. 



The legs are comparatively rather shorter than the above and 

 thickly covered with downlying hair ; the femora underneath 

 with long upstanding bristles. The palpi are thickly covered with 

 hair on all joints and, without the maxillse joints, are fully once 

 and a half the length of the cephalothorax. L. Koch gives once 

 and one-third for his T. harhata. 



There is only one spine above on tibia ii,, instead of two as in 

 T. magnifica.
