bi-ight yellow-bvoAvii strij)e of the same coloui' as on the cephalo- 

 thorax. The under side of the abdomen is yellow-brown, with 

 a faint shield-pattern marked out by palei- side-lines and two 

 similarly coloured parallel lines inside. 



The cephalothorax is moderately high in front, being two -thirds 

 as high as broad in that part and rather moi-e than half as broad 

 as in its widest part ; the median line slightly slopes upwards as 

 far as the rear end of the longitudinal fovea, whence it falls 

 steeply down. 



The front row of eyes is recurved or straight along the upper 

 edge, the median pair being their diameter apart ; the laterals 

 are two-thirds the diameter of the median and the same distance 

 away fi'om them. The clypeus is twice as broad as one median 

 and lateral eye with the sjDace between them. The eyes of the 

 second I'ow ai'e a diameter apart, larger than the fi'ont median and 

 their diameter from them. The eyes of the third row are as large 

 as the second, on rather large prominences, and 5 diameters apart. 



The mandibles are as long as the width in front of the cephalo- 

 thorax, and have one small and three large teeth on the inner 

 margin of the falx-sheath, with one large between two small on 

 the outer. 



The lip is slightly broader than long, straight in front and 

 half the length of the maxilke. 



The sternum is nearly round, and thickly covered with short 

 downlying hair. 



The abdomen is ovate, sti'aight in front, with four prominent 

 muscle-spots in the anterior half above, with short decumbent hair. 

 The epigyne of the female is oval, the inside oval hollows being in 

 the anterior part of the arch. 



The paljn are longei- than the cephalothorax, and the tibial 

 joint is longer than the patella. 



The legs are covered with smooth decumbent hair, and there is 

 a not very thick scopula on the tarsus and metatarsus of all legs. 



Measurements in millimetres.
