Of the half-dozen somewhat similar species described by Thorell 

 from New Guinea and the neighbourhood, this is nearest to 

 D. amplectens Thor. (Ragni Aust.-Malesi, 1881, p. 412 et seq.). 

 It difi'ers theiefrom in having the front row of eyes more re- 

 curved, the line touching the upper edges of the median cutting 

 the side eyes at a point near the lower margins ; the diameter 

 of the median is slightly more than twice that of the side eyes. 



It difi'ers from D. phri/noicles Walck. in having the tibia of the 

 front pair of legs cylindrical instead of club-shaped, and without 

 any iimbriation on the under side. 



D. fasciatus Thor., the coloration of which is somewhat similai*, 

 has (according to that author) eight pairs of stout spines under 

 tibia i. and only two pairs under metatarsus i.
