438 ME. H. E. HOGG- ON SPIDEES 



The front row of eyes viewed from above is straight along the upper edge, but from 

 the front looks procurved. The median eyes are one-fourth of their diameter larger 

 than the side; they are their diameter apart, and about half that distance from the 

 laterals. The rear row is so far procurved that the upper edge of the side eyes 

 reaches to a line through the centre of the median pair. These are the same distance 

 apart as from the front median, whose diameter is the distance separating them, their 

 own diameter being three-fourths only of the latter. They are twice their diameter 

 distant from their laterals, which are slightly smaller than the front eyes, from 

 which they are their diameter away. The clypeus proper is the width of the front 

 median eyes, but a bare chitinous piece extends almost the same distance to the upper 

 part of the mandibles. 



The mandibles are geniculate at the base, fairly stout, and thickly covered with 

 coarse bristly hair. The fangs are stout at the base, of moderate length, and not 

 much curved. There are four teeth on the inner margin of the falx-sheath. 



The maxillae are upright, broadest anteriorly, incurved at the back, narrowed to the 

 base, and have upstanding bristles on the outer margin. They curve round the lip, 

 which is convex, longer than broad, more tha,n half their length ; it is truncate in 

 front and cut away at the corners of the base. 



The sternum is a broad heart-shape, truncate in front, but with rounded corners, 

 and narrowing to a point at the rear. It is convex, with depressions at points 

 between the coxae, and moderately covered with recumbent hair and upstanding 

 bristles. The rear coxae are contiguous. 



The legs are long and fine, the front pair three times the length of the third pair and 

 eight times that of the cephalothorax ; the fourth pair is missing from below the patella. 



The abdomen is oval, truncate in front, twice as long as broad. The cribellum 

 divided. Each part tapers from the inner to the outer end. The epigyne consists of a 

 median projecting shelf, flanked by a hollow on each side. These hollows are bounded 

 on the outer and lower margins by a curved ridge, broad on the lower margin, but 

 narrow at the sides ; at each upper corner also there is another small oval depression.
