the deep and strongly-procurved fovea to about half its length, 

 whence it slightly slopes downward to the anterior margin. The 

 side striations are broad, shallow and straight, making the cephalic 

 part almost triangular. 



The front row of eyes is slightly procurved, the median pair 

 1^ diameter apart on a common black oval prominence ; the 

 laterals are twice their diameter, the same distance away as the 

 median from one another. The rear row is recurved. Side-eyes 

 l-L diameter of front median, and that distance from the front 

 laterals. The rear median are narrow pear-shaped, the length of 

 the front middle, and just clearly separated at their apex from the 

 side-eyes. 



The sternum is broadest posteriorly, and very convex, hollowed 

 in front opposite the Up, and slightly pointed between the rear 

 cos£e, covered with long upstanding bristles on round roots. 

 The posterior sigillae are transversely oval, once and a half of their 

 long diameter from the margin and the same distance from the 

 central line. 



The lip is broader than long, hollowed in front, and curved 

 posteriorly with the sternum. It is very convex, and clothed with 

 bristles on roots, but no small club-shaped spines. 



The maxillae are rather long, straight in front, a rounded pro- 

 tuberance at the heel and thence hollowed over the lip. A few 

 club-shaped spines are sprinkled from the inner corner to half- 

 way up. 



Legs short and stout. Scopulae on tarsi and metatarsi of front 

 two pairs. A few short stout spines on all tarsi and metatarsi, 

 and longer ones on underside of tibia. 



The superior tarsal claws have one very long tooth near the 

 base ; the inferior claw is bare. One row of teeth only on falx- 

 sheath. On the outside of patella iii. and iv. is an area covered 

 with short stout spines very similar to those forming the rastellum. 



The inferior spinnerets are one diameter apart. The superior 

 are short, thick and tapering, the first joint longest and thickest, 

 the third is hemispherical and only visible above the second from 

 the underside.
