822 THE REV, O. PICKARD-CAJIBRIDGE ON [Nov. 2(3, 



compact, and of ordinary form. Cribellum transverse, lineai', 

 subdivided, very nari-ow and indistinct. 



An adult female was found among bananas imported from the 

 Canary Islands and kindly sent to me by Mr. H. Speyer of Keigate. 

 Unfortunately it had been allowed to get dry and much shi'unken 

 before it reached me, and this has rendered its minute description 

 to be to some extent imperfect. Mons. Simon, however, suggests 

 that it is of the species to which 1 have here relegated it. 



ZoROPSis MACULOSA, sp. n. (Plate L. figs. 22-24.) 



? Adult female, length 4g lines ; an immature male nearly 

 5^ lines. 



Cejsihcdothorax longer than broad, ti'uncate before ; the latei'al 

 m.argins at the caput moderate. The profile runs in a nearly even 

 and rather descending line from the beginning of the hinder 

 slope (which is rather abrupt) to the ocular area. The height of 

 the clypeus is scarcely more than equal to the diameter of the 

 fore-central eyes. Colour dull yellowish, with two longitudinal 

 indistinct yellow-brown bands, one on each side, leaving a broad 

 centi-al one between them. These bands are chiefly indicated by 

 lines or narrow stripes of yellow- brown converging to the thoracic 

 indentation ; there is also a short deep brown or black line on the 

 margins of the thorax opposite to the basal joint of each leg. 



Eyes in normal position, those of the hinder row largest, the 

 row is strongly curved, the convexitj^ of the curve directed for- 

 wards, and the hind-central pair are nearer to each other than 

 each is to the adjacent hind-lateral eye ; the hind-laterals are 

 largest ; the anterior row is shortest, and cui-ved in a similai- 

 direction to the hinder row, but very much less curved. The 

 fore- central eyes are very small, and rather nearer together than 

 to the fore-laterals. 



Legs moderate in length and strength, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1 being 

 very nearly of equal length. They are of a similar colour to the 

 cephalothorax, more or less speckled with small dark and lighter 

 spots, from which on their upper sides spring short fine spines ; 

 beneath the metatarsi and tibiee of the first two pairs are two 

 parallel rows of long sessile spines ; five pairs of spines beneath the 

 tibia? and four pairs beneath the metatarsi. I could see no trace 

 of the " calamistrum." Tarsi short and ending with a small com- 

 pact claw-tuft. 



Falces rather long, strong, straight, tapering ; colour yellow- 

 brown. 



Maxillce and labium similar in colour to the falces. 



Sternum oval, pointed behind ; pale yellow in colour. 



Abdomen pale yellow-brown, thinly clothed with shoit fine 

 hairs, minutely speckled with dark brown or blackish, and with 

 some short black linear markings forming two longitudinal parallel 

 rows in the middle of the fore half of the upper side, and six 

 forming two converging lines on the hinder half to the spinnei's ; 

 each of these linear black spots has a small tuft of pale hairs
