yellow decumbent hair and long ei-ect brown bristles. Lip, 

 maxilla?, and sternum dark red-brown, with dai-k yellow-bi-own 

 hair. Coxte with I'ather bi-owner hair. 



The abdomen above is yellow or grey-brown, almost orange on 

 the sides in some specimens, in othei'S paler yellow-brown. The 

 whole of the undei- side from base to spinnei-ets of a dull dingy 

 brown, about tlie same colour as the coxee. Legs and palpi red- 

 brown, with pale yellow-gi-ey hair somewhat darker underneath. 



The cephaloiliorax is as long as patella ctMW tibia iv. ; as broad 

 as femui- i. It is slightly wider in front than one-half the gi'eatest 

 breadth. 



There ai'e three large teeth of equal size on the lower edge of 

 the falx-sheath, and one large tooth between two small teeth, the 

 lower of which is a little distance off, on the upper side. 



The front row of eyes is straight along the lower edge, the 

 larger median being 1 k times the diameter of the laterals ; they are 

 one-half the diameter of the larger apart. The clypeus is as broad 

 as the median fi'ont eyes, and they are the same distance from the 

 pair of the second low. The latter are | of theii- dianietei- apart, 

 and the row is one-third longei' than the front row. 



The lip is broader than long, and barely half as long as the 

 maxilla?. 



There are two spines above on tibise iii. and iv., none on i. 

 and ii. 



There are five females from the Gilbert River, Riverina, all 

 fully developed. Two large and three smaller vary considei-ably 

 in size, but I can discovei- no structural differences between 

 them. 



The epigyne is of a horseshoe-shape, slightly broader than long. 

 The median ridge broad at the base, and tapei-s to a narrow ridge 

 anteriorly.
