yellow shield pattern, mottled with brown spots, reaches from 
the genital fold to the spinnerets, with two dark brown longi- 
tudinal spots thereon, the basal area being all brown. The 
spinnerets are black-brown, the epigyne yellow-brown. There 
is a pair of small brown conical protuberances, one on each 
side of the breathing-slits. On the sides are vertical black-brown 
stripes on a dingy yellow ground. 
The cephalothorax is one-fifth longer than broad, straight in 
front, where it is not quite one-half its greatest breadth, convex, 
rounded at the sides, thickly covered with forward-pointing long 
coarse hair and upstanding bristles, but bare on the rear slope. 
The median quadrangle of eyes is on a somewhat low pro- 
tuberance lying on the front slope. The rear row is straight, 
the median their diameter apart, the same distance from the 
front row, and six diameters from their respective laterals. ‘The 
front median pair are 14 times the diameter of the rear 
and that distance apart. The clypeus is the breadth of one 
of them. The side eyes are equal in size on a common raised 
prominence, not much smaller than the rear median, almost 
touching one another, the front one lying just below and by 
the distance of its diameter nearer the centre eyes than its 
upper companion. 
The mandibles are broad, conical, kneed at the base, some- 
what divergent, and as long as the front of the cephalothorax is 
broad. They are furnished with bristly hairs for one-third of 
the distance from the base and on the inner edges, the remainder 
being smooth. The fangs are stout and not much curved. On 
the outer margin of the falx-sheath are three stout teeth near 
the base. I could not see those on the inner margin. 
The maxille are nearly triangular, straight on the inner side 
and front edge, with rounded back and corners. They are as 
high as the greatest breadth, which is at the front margin. The 
lip is convex, broader than long, rounded in front, and less than 
half the length of the maxille. 
The sternum is convex, shield-shaped, rounded at the sides, 
pointed at the rear, where it does not divide the rear coxe. 
There are rounded prominences opposite the Ist, 2nd, and 5rd 
coxee. It is thickly covered with long coarse hair and upstanding 
bristles, particularly thick at the side edges, opposite coxe 1 
and 2. 
The abdomen is ovate, rounded in front, obtusely pointed at 
the rear, thick at the sides. There are two shoulder-humps on 
the upper side. From between these to the base it is thickly 
covered with short thick upstanding spines, of which there are 
also some few in other parts. It is moderately thickly covered 
with downlying rather coarse hair both on the upper and under 
side. From the rear end of the upper side to the spinnerets the 
abdomen sinks perpendicularly a distance equal to the length of 
the cephalothorax. 
The epigyne is of the curious upright pillar type, a stout thick
