294 MR. H. D, BADCOCK ON 



The white or very light yellow anterior legs are very noticeable, 

 as also the proportions of c^ and tr^. 



Sternum. — Sharply but shortly pointed between Ci . i which are 

 in subcontact, short-pointed at sides between ci . 2 which are close, 

 curves cut strongly between C2.3 which are wider, narrows again 

 before c., and then proceeds with straight parallel sides to c^, in 

 front of which it ends in a moderately long point. C4.4 in 

 contact. At widest sternum about = c.,. Colour dark mahogany. 

 Pedicel. — Length > caput. 2nd joint considerably longer than 

 1st (as seen from above j., = 2 jj. 1st plate broader than 2nd 

 and procurved behind. Pedicel received into very short pr"ojecting 

 socket of opisthosoma. 



Opisthosoma. — Subcylindrical with constriction at \, widest 

 at f , pointed at spinners. Dark green-brown above, with white 

 marking at constriction starting at top of sides and widening 

 below. In front of epigastric fold and behind the white marking 

 colour is as above. Epigastric fold straight ; lung-sacs wide apart 

 and dark. 



Epigyne. — An equilateral triangle with base along epigastric 

 fold and vertex forward. Edges red, inside white, with central 

 darker bi^idge and darkest spots at its edges. Not very distinct 

 but more characteristic than others of the genus. (Text-fig-. 5, e.) 

 Spinners. — Proportions as maxillosa. All a light bi'own 

 colour. 



c? . The chief differences from 5 are : — 



Prosoma. — Cephalothorax = | abdomen. Groove sharper at 

 bottom and thorax does not rise so much behind it, so that 

 it is considerably below caput and general shape not unlike 

 maxillosa. Rim as well as wedge has grey hairs. 



Falces = cephalothorax. From above inner edge straight at 

 first, apical half concave, outer edge convex. Width =^ length. 

 End cut off square, with strong concavity and very strong tooth- 

 like projection forward a,nd inward from inner angle, with blunt 

 end. From side falces project straight forwards, with upper and 

 lower edges almost parallel, granulated. 



Groove not well defined. Upper margin has 6 teeth. 1st 

 smallish close to base of unguis, remainder subequally spaced 

 over basal half of falx, 2-5 being very large, 6 small = 1. 

 Lower margin has 9 teeth, mere dots subequally spaced. 



Unguis darkest and strongest at base, S curved with slight 

 swelling of tip-curve. Length = patui'on. (Text-fig. 5, h, c.) 

 Maxillce. — Rather straighter outer edge and stronger serrula. 

 Palpi. — Trochanter = width maxilla. Femur = ^ caput, less 

 flattened than in $ . Patella < trochanter, curved downwards ; 

 from above, sides almost parallel, apex distinctly wider than 

 base. Tibia length = patella, much wider at apex. A very 

 small blunt process on outer apical corner visible from below. 

 Some longish hairs on inner side. Tarsus longer and bi-oader than 

 tibia, oblong, with short hairs on inner side. Fovea reaches to
