FROM THE MONTEBELLO ISLANDS. 83 
The cephalothorax is ovate, one-fourth longer than broad, 
convex, thickly covered with coarse downlying hair. Round the 
outer edge of the thoracic part is a thick fillet of hair extending 
beyond the margin. ‘There is a long broad longitudinal fovea 
reaching to the rear slope. 
The rear row of eyes is recurved ; the median eyes one-third 
of their diameter apart and their diameter from the side eyes, 
which are on low tubercles and just slightly smaller. 
The front row is straight viewed from in front, slightly re- 
curved from above, all the eyes equal in size to the rear laterals 
and their diameter distant from the rear median. The median 
ave one-third their diameter apart and half that distance from 
the laterals. The clypeus is not quite twice their diameter in 
width. 
The mandibles are strong aud convex, with long powerful 
falces and two separated teeth on the inner margin of the falx- 
sheath. 
The lip is broader than long, straight in front, widening to the 
base, and less than half the length of the maxille. The latter 
are convex, straight on the inner side and at the apex, but 
rounded at the corners and on the outer side. 
The sternum is a broad oval, hollowed opposite the coxe, 
and ending in a small point posteriorly well above the contiguous 
rear coxe. It is thickly covered with coarse downlying hair in 
the middle, upstanding round the margin. 
The abdomen is oval, twice as long as broad. The spinnerets 
ave terminal, with thick matted hair on the upper side, smoother 
below. In the superior pair the conical second joint is two- 
thirds as long as the basal. 
The legs are thickly covered with long coarse hair, with 
numerous short and some long powerful spines on the femora, 
tibie, and metatarsi. There are two spines above on tibia iv. 
On the under side of tibia 1.and 11. are three pairs of spines ; also 
three spines on the inner side of tibia ii., two on tibiai. The 
claws are short and weak. ‘There are thick scopule on all tarsi 
and metatarsi. 
The palpi have the femoral joint incurved, thinner than the 
other joints, but broadest anteriorly. The patellar joint is 
shorter and narrower than the tibial, which widens out in front 
with an apophysis having a curved cusp on the outer corner, but 
square on the inner.
