412 MR. J. BLACK.WALL ON SOME TUSCAN SPIDERS. 



clothed with hairs, and of a yellowish-white hue ; a fine line, which 

 extends from the anterior extremity of the upper part nearly half of 

 its lejigth, is succeeded hy a series of minute spots, streaks, and short 

 angular linos prolonged to the spinners, immediately above which 

 there is a curved line whose convexity is directed upwards ; a row of 

 irregular spots occurs on each side of the medial line ; the sides are 

 thickly streaked and spotted ; a fine line passes from each branchial 

 operculum along the under part, and a spot occurs near the base of 

 the spinners; these lines, spots, and streaks, with the superior pair of 

 spinners, have a black hue, and that of the sexual organs, which are 

 well developed, is dark reddish-brown.

 The abdomen is oviform, glossy, projects a little over the base of the' 

 cephalothorax, and has some long black hairs at its anterior ex- 

 tremity ; it is of a dull yellowish-white colour ; a broad, curved band, 

 composed of longitudinal black streaks, and having its convexity 

 directed forwards, is situated near the anterior extremity of the upper 

 part; the sides are marked obliquely with similar bands, and an 

 irregular black band passes along each side of the medial line, but 

 docs not quite extend to the spinners ; in the sjjace comprised between 

 these bands there is a series of angular lines of the same hue, whose 

 vertices are directed forwards, one or two of the anterior ones being 

 the most acute; three small, confluent, angular, black lines are 

 situated above the s[)inncrs, and there is a short, curved, transverse 

 line of the same hue at their base ; three parallel rows of confluent 

 black spots extend along the under part, one of which is in the medial 

 line ; the sexual organs are moderately developed, and of a red-brown 

 colour. The cephalothorax is large, glossy, somewhat quadrilateral, 

 has a shallow indentation in the medial line, slopes abruptly at the 

 base, and projects a little beyond the falces in front; it is of a 

 brownish-red colour, with the exce[)tion of the cephalic region, which 

 has a black hue, and there are some pale-yellow hairs on the frontal 

 margin. The minute intermediate eye of each lateral row is nearly 

 cquiiUstant from the eyes constituting its extremities. The falces are 

 short, conical, vertical, and of a brownish-red colour, being rather 

 paler than the cephalothorax. The niaxillas are straight, and 

 enlarged and rounded at the extremity ; the lip is oval ; the sternum 

 is oval, convex, glossy, and has a few white hairs distributed over its 

 surface ; the legs are robust, and provided with hairs and sj)ines, two 

 parallel rows of the latter occurring on the inferior surface of the 

 tibiiv and metatarsi of the first and second pairs ; the fourth pair is
