526 MR. H. R. HOGG OX SPIDERS 



round the upper and lower edges and inner side ; the upper part 

 of each of these depressions is covered over with a light sort of 

 deck, dark streaks run down from their lower ends to the genital 

 fold, and the whole stands on a raised area arched anteriorly. 



In the middle of the upper side of each femur is a single spine 

 and a row of four abreast at the anterior end ; on each patella 

 one spine each side ; under all the metatarsi are three pairs of 

 spines, on the inner side two single and on the upper side a pair 

 near the base followed by a single. Under metatarsus i. and ii. 

 two pairs of very long spines, and two single on the inner side ; on 

 metatarsus iii. two bunches of spines ; on metatarsus iv. one 

 pair underneath, one above, two at the side, and a bunch at the 

 anterior end. 



The measurements (in millimetres) are as follows : — ■

In the structure of the mouth-parts, proportion of legs, and 

 pattern of epigyne, this rather closely resembles C. alhurna Keys. 

 It is at least a third larger, and is easily distinguished by the 

 prominent white streak on the cephalothorax and the bright 

 coloration of the scales on the abdomen.

1 male and 2 females. [Including the types of the species.) 

 Femcde. Cephalothorax black-brown with greyish-white squa- 

 mules and brown bristles, reddish bristles between the front 

 eyes, and thick long white bristles on the clypeus. Mandibles 

 black-brown with red-brown fangs. Lip, maxillte, sternum, 

 and coxfe dark brown, the fringes on the former brown and 

 short upstanding greyish-white hair on the remainder. The 

 abdomen on the upper side is brown over the median area, with 

 a white fillet of squamous hairs at the base and down each side as 

 far as the spinnerets ; the brown area has also white squamules in 

 patches mingled with brown, and a more or less distinct median 

 line of the same running down the anterior half ; on the under
