rear side, instead of nearly equal, nor are the latter (except in 

 that species) smaller than the front side-eyes. 



The two front metatarsi are scopulated only two-thirds up the 

 joint instead of to the base ; and lastly, but most important, the 

 male has no apical spur on tibia i. 



The species may be distinguished as follows : — 



1. The middle eyes of front row less than or about their 



diameter apart 2. 



The middle eyes of front row more than (more nearly 

 two) their diameter apart 3. 



2. On the upperside of the abdomen a black median 



longitudinal stripe with side stripes depending there- 

 from on a yellowish ground. {Sec. L. Koch.) A. pallida. 



Dark grey above with no recognizable pattern A. grisea, n. sp. 



3. On back of abdomen two longitudinal rows of large 



yellow spots on black ground. Front and rear side- 

 eyes the same length, rear middle shorter ; front 



row procurved A. arborea, n. sp. 



Black median and side stripes on yellowish ground on 

 back of abdomen. Front side-eyes longer than rear 

 side ; rear side and middle eyes of equal length ; 

 front row nearly straight A. pellucida, n. sp.

This species was unfortunately described by Herr Koch from a 

 newly moulted specimen, at which time the whole of the cephalo- 

 thorax, mandibles, fangs, mouth-parts, sternum, &c., are of a pale 

 yellow colour, quite different from the normal dark brown or 

 yellowish brown ; and consequently the description is deceptive to 

 the student. The yellow-brown hair of the cephalothorax looks 

 almost black or dark grey in consequence. The dark median 

 and side stripes on abdomen, and front middle eyes only half a 

 diameter apart, serve to distinguish it. 



I have seen no specimen, however, which I can recognize as 

 being the same. 



Aname geisea, n. sp. (Text-fig. 30, p. 253.) 



Cephalothorax and mandibles a dull yellowish brown, with dark 

 brown hairs and black bristles on the latter. Legs and palpi yellow 

 shaded with brown, with lighter brown hairs. Lip and maxillae 

 brownish yellow ; sternum and rear coxae bright golden yellow 

 with brown bristles. Abdomen above black, mottled with irregular 

 yellow spots, with long upstanding hairs medium to pale brown; 

 underneath yellow, with small black mottlings and long dark 

 brown hairs. Spinnerets pale yellow, with pale brown hairs. 



Cephalothorax rather oblong, truncate both anteriorly and pos- 

 teriorly, sides curving slightly towards the rear. Cephalic part 

 rather high, sloping to its highest point behind the eyes, thence 

 rather downwards to the margin ; clearly separated by a long, 

 deep, straight thoracic fovea and deep side striations from the
