614 EEV. O. PICKAEB-CAMBEIDGE ON 



Eyes in two about equally and oppositely curved rows of almost 

 equal length and converging at each end ; those of the posterior 

 row equidistant from each other, the hind-centrals smallest. The 

 fore-centrals form nearly a square, the anterior side shortest ; 

 tliose of each lateral pair seated on a strong tubercle ; fore-centrals 

 also on a strong prominence. 



Legs long, moderately strong, orange-yellow ; 4, 1, 2, 3 

 (relative length, however, not easy to determine, being much 

 twisted together), furnished with hairs only, excepting those 

 of the first pair, which have a longitudinal row of 6 strong teeth 

 at the lower part of the femora on the outer side. 



Palpi Yery long, similar in colour to the legs. Humeral joint 

 long, of a twisted or S-shape, armed with, among others, a longi- 

 tudinal row of denticulations of unequal length towards the 

 outer side : one of these denticulations is obtuse, as if broken off ; 

 two others lower down longer and sharp-pointed ; there is also 

 a denticular prominence beneath the fore extremity. The 

 cubital joint is long, somew^hat clavate, with a long, curved, sharp- 

 pointed apophysis directed forwards and extending beneath the 

 radial joint ; this apophysis is as long as the joint itself. Eadial 

 joint shorter than the cubital, projecting in a pointed form at 

 the extremity on the upperside, protuberant and projecting also 

 behind, where there is also, near the middle of the protuberant 

 part, a very slight angiilar prominence (corresponding to the 

 spine in that part of Erigone dentipalpis, Wid.) ; digital joint 

 somewhat oblong-oval, rather large, with a prominent, and rather 

 pointed, lobe near the extremity on the outer side ; palpal organs 

 prominent and complex. 



Falces strong, rather divergent, roundly prominent at their 

 base in front, where, on the outer margin, are some sharp not 

 very strong denticles ; their outer extremities are prolonged, 

 divergent, and abnormally pinched in. 



Maxillce, labium, and sternum much obscured by particles of 

 adventitious matter, but appeared to be normal, the latter rather 

 drawn out behind and obtusely truncate. 



Abdomen black, clothed with shore fine hairs. 

 The adulc female resembles the male in colours and general 

 characters. The genital aperture is characteristic. Denticula- 

 tions round the margin of the cephalothorax and on the falces 

 are visible, but quite rudimentary on the hinder part, or thorax.
