One female sent by Mi\ Dove from Table Cape, Tasmania. 



It may be worth noting that this Tasmanian species conforms to 

 the ty^e of three species of my Venator class from Macedon, 

 40 miles north of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. It was at Macedon 

 that I discovered a sjoecies of Peripatus new to Victoria, which 

 subsequently tvirned out to be the normal Tasmanian species. 



Lycosa PHYLLIS, sp. n. (Text-fig. 81, p. 574.) 



Cephalothorax dark brown, with chestnut-brown downlying 

 hair. No distinctly marked median or marginal stripes, but the 

 hair is rather thicker there. The side streaks nearly bare, 

 showing the under surface. 



Mandibles black-brown, covered all over with thick matted 

 buff-coloured hair. 



Lip, maxillfe, sternum, and coxpe dark reddish-brown with 

 brown hairs, the sternum thickly matted. 



The abdomen on the upper side has a dark brown hair-pattern 

 of usual type on paler ground. Angular transverse stripes, six or 

 seven in number, with pale spots at each end. The sides pale 

 yellow-brown ; on the under side a broad shield-shape black-brown 

 field extends from the genital fovea nearly to the spinnerets, 

 where the buff ground of the sides comes across. Anterioily of 

 the genital fovea clearly paler than the field, but still dark brown. 

 Spinnerets dark brown. 



The legs and palpi are of a medium yellow -brown; the under 

 side of the femora more red-brown. 



The cephalic fovea is short and shallow. 



The eyes of the front row are one-half the diameter of the 

 median apart, and the same distance from the margin of the 

 clypeus and those of the second row. The laterals are three- 

 fourths the diameter of the median ; whole row slightly procurved. 



The ej^es of the second row are distant from one another four- 

 fifths of their diameter, which is 21 times that of the front median. 



The mandibles are longer than the front patella. There are
