MR. II. R. HOGG ON 



[Dec. 12, 



Two females brought by the Horn Expedition from the 

 MacDonnell Ranges. 



This species rather closely resembles L. Koch's L. crispipes from 

 Rockhampton, though larger. It is more faintly marked on the 

 cephalothorax, and is without the pattern on the back of the 

 abdomem. The lower edge of the front row of eyes is straight 

 instead of procurved, and the epigyne is broader at the base, 

 which curls round instead of ending at the base of the horseshoe

In this species the cephalothorax is as long as patella cimi 

 tibia iv. L. Koch says that in L. crispipes it is longer than 

 tibia iv.
