The lip and maxillae are dull yellow, the anterior fringes pale orange-red, lower dull, 

 the hair is pale yellow. The sternum darker yellow with long yellow-grey bristles. 

 The legs and palpi are pale yellow on the femur, patella, and tibia, darker on the 

 metatarsus and tarsus, with yellowish-grey hair and yellow-brown spines. Tlie scopulse 

 are pale yellow-brown and the claw-tufts dark grey. Underneath femora i. and ii. are 

 thick mats of dark grey and bright yellow bristly hair intermixed in patches. 



The abdomen above is pale greenish-yellow, with similarly coloured recumbent hair 

 and browner upstanding short bristles; on the underside it is yellow in front of the 

 genital fold, where there is a narrow brown transverse streak, thence to the spinnerets 

 pale greenish-yellow, with a faintly marked median area slightly yellower bounded by 

 lines of depressed dots. The spinnerets are darker yellow, and the epigyne similar 

 with white inside the oval frame. 



The cephalothorax is convex, highest above the rear-slope, sloping forward to the eye-

space as well as laterally, and down its steep rear-slope. It is well rounded at the 

 sides, straight in front. The cephalic part is marked off by shallow side-depressions, 

 and there is a long, deep, longitudinal fovea reaching thence to partly down the rear- 

 slope. The whole cephalothorax is sparsely covered with fine recumbent hair, thicker 

 and more upstanding round the margin. 



The first row of eyes is straight, the eyes of equal size, the median pair half their 

 diameter apart and almost touching the laterals. The clypeus is one and a half 

 times their diameter. The rear-row is also straight, the eyes equal in size, and about 

 three-fourths the diameter of the front eyes. The median pair are the length of the 

 diameter of a front-eye apart, and rather more from their laterals.
