1907.] NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN SPIDERS. 821 



On each side is a broad longitudinal brown band, rather tapering- 

 forwards, and irregularly dentate along both its margins, which 

 are darker than the rest of the band ; the space between these 

 bands is marked with several longitudinal, curved, and straight 

 brown markings. The cephalothorax is clothed thinly with short 

 fine dark hairs. 



Eyes in two transverse rows ; the posterior row considerably 

 longer, curved, the convexity of the curve directed forwards ; the 

 anterior row very nearly straight. They are small and do not 

 differ very greatly in size ; the fore-laterals are largest, the fore- 

 centrals smallest ; the interval between the hind-centrals is up- 

 wards of double that between each and the adjacent hind-lateral 

 eye ; and the interval between the fore-centrals is, if anything, 

 rather greater than that between each and the adjacent fore- 

 lateral. The clypeus is low, its height little, if anything, greater 

 than the diameter of the fore-central eyes. The four central 

 eyes form veiy nearly a square whose anterior side is shortest. 



Legs long, 4, 1, 2, 3, apparently laterigrade (though this 

 is partly if not entirely from the distortion of the specimen), 

 tolerably strong, furnished with numerous spines of diflferent 

 lengths and strength, those of the first and second pairs mainly in 

 two parallel rows underneath, five pairs of spines (sessile) beneath 

 the tibife and four pairs, more prominent and some stronger, 

 beneath the metatarsi. A scopula beneath the tarsi and metatarsi 

 of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pairs ; all end with a small but compact 

 claw-tuft. All the tarsi are short, but of uniform length. The 

 calamistrum is very indistinctly indicated on the metatarsi of the 

 4th pail-. The colour of the legs is similar to that of the cephalo- 

 thorax, and they are marked rather irregularly with spots and 

 other dark brown markings, those on the femora having a tendency 

 to obscure annulation. 



The jy^ilpi are similar in colour and markings to the legs. 



Falces strong, straight, a little indistinct backwards, towards 

 the sternum, and of a yellow-brown colour. 



MaxiUce and labium. These were too much concealed by a 

 contraction over them of the adjacent parts to allow of their 

 special form to be ascertained. 



The stern-mn is small, appai-ently oval, and of pale dull yelloAvish- 

 brown hue. 



Abdomen much shrunken, but apjDeared to be oval; very similar 

 in colour to the cephalothorax, marked with dark brown markings, 

 and forming a pattern of which the following might be traced : 

 a longitudinal short dark central broken band on the fore part, 

 indicated by some pale marginal hairs, some oblique lateral lines 

 on each side, and on the hinder half of the upper side tw^o con- 

 verging rows of dark spots representing the extremities of some 

 obscure angular lines or chevrons. The under side is similar in 

 general colour to the upper, and is slightly marked with dark 

 brown. The genital aperture is of a very distinct and characteristic 

 form, though much obscured by long hairs ; spinners short,
