yellow transvei'se sti'ipes ; underneath, a chestnut triangular 

 shield, broadest at base and narrowing to spinnerets, which lie at 

 its apex ; sides pale creamy -yellow. 



Legs and palpi bright chestnut all over, except the under side 

 of the femora, which are of a pale cream-colour. 



The cephalothorax is rather broad, being four-fifths of its 

 length at its greatest breadth, and in front one-half of its length. 

 The mandibles are also half the length of the cephalothorax and 

 proportionately stout. There are three large teeth of equal size 

 on the inner edge of the falx-sheath, and one as large between 

 two small on the outer edge. 



The front row of eyes is straight, the median being 1| times as 

 far apart as they are from the laterals. Their diameters are in 

 the same proportion. 



The clypeus is as broad as the front middle eyes ; the latter are 

 half their diameter from those of the second row, which are 

 slightly less than their diameter apart and twice that of the front 

 median. 



The lip is broader than long, straight in fi-ont, and less than 

 half the length of the maxillae. 



The abdomen is a broad oval, thickly covered above and below 

 with short smooth downlying hair. 



The epigyne is of a trapezoidal outline, broader than long, with 

 the broadest part anteriorly, where also the middle ridge is very 

 broad, tapering to whei-e it spi-ings from a base of the usual type. 



The legs are long and powerful ; and the palpi (from the 

 trochantei") longer than the cephalothorax. 



There is one spine above on tibia i., two on tibiae ii., iii., and iv.

In measurements and pattern of epigyne and other points 

 this species difiers but slightly from L. errans, sp. nov. The 

 coloration of the latter is, however, much darker. Its large 

 second row eyes are only ^ of their diameter apart, and the 

 median ridge of the epigyne in the female is broader anteriorly, 

 and the base of same reaches to 5 of the length. The clypeus
