weak, vertical, parallel, scarcely as long as face; fang weak. Maxillae 

 rounded and a littLe enlarged at their extremities. Labium as wide 

 as long, rounded, almost one-half as long as maxillae. Coxae of the 

 first separated by but little more than the width of the labium. Legs 

 4, 1, 3, 2; femur of the first scarcely longer than femur of the second. 



Coloration (dry): Upper surface of cephalothorax, light yellow; eye- 

 region surrounded above by a band of bright-red hairs covered in the 

 middle with white hairs. Clypeus with thick white hairs. Abdomen 

 above light brown or yellow, with silvery white hairs; two parallel 

 longitudinal bands of red hairs extend throughout its length, and 

 these are connected by transverse bands of red hairs in three places, 

 at the anterior and posterior ends, and in the middle. Legs light 

 yellow with brown spines and black tips. Other parts all light 

 yellow. 

 Most of our specimens have all the hair rubbed off from the abdomen, 



which then presents a plain light colored surface with a few dark dots. 



Habitat: Madagascar.

Plate XII, figure 12. 



? . Length of cephalothorax 2.5 mm; of abdomen 5 mm. 



Legs 8.5, 7.4, 7,5. 



Cephalic part not quite so long as thoracic. Quadrangle of eyes one-third 

 wider than long. Eyes of first row twice as large as those of second. 

 Clypeus a little less than one-half as high as anterior eyes. Falces 

 weak, vertical, about as long as face; fang short. Maxillae rounded, 

 and a little enlarged at their extremities, excavated on their inner 

 sides for the labium. Labium about as wide as long, blunt, and nar- 

 rowing a little at the tip, and a little more than one-half as long as 

 maxillae. Legs 1, 2, 3, 4; femur of the first shorter than femur with 

 patella of the second. 



Coloration (dry): Upper surface of cephalothorax yellowish -brown; eye- 

 region and clyf)eus covered with snowy white hairs. Abdomen, 

 above and beneath, very light brown, probably covered with white
