slightly sloping forwards, from the eyes it slopes steeply clown 

 to the margin at the sides and rear. The thoracic part is barely 

 one-half the length of the cephalic, and the rear slope is deeper 

 than the whole length of the cephalothorax. 



The front median eyes project forward on black rims. They 

 are three times the diameter of the laterals, which stand back 

 somewhat, but are level with the former along the upper margins. 

 The eyes of the rear row are of the same size as the front laterals. 

 The usually small eyes of the median row have a diameter two- 

 thirds the length of these ; they are rather nearer to the front 

 lateral than to the rear eyes and are somewhat closer together 

 than either. 



The abdomen is broadly ovate, straight and widest in front ; 

 the spinnerets are terminal, the superior having a conical second 

 joint. The epigyne is roughly triangular, rounded at the apex 

 and incurved in the middle of the base-line, with horizontal oval 

 apertures at the lower corners.
