masillse, legs and palpi a bright golden yellow, with dark brown 

 hairs and bristles. The abdomen has a black ground on the upper 

 side, with a double longitudinal row of large yellow spots joined 

 anteriorly and reaching to the spinnerets ; beyond these on the 

 side slopes smaller irregular yellow spots ; underneath a yellow 

 ground with a few black mottlings. 



The eye-space is black, twice as wide as long. The front middle 

 eyes are green, the remainder yellow. 



The front row of eyes is clearly procurved. On a common pro- 

 tuberance of their own the median are 1^ diameter apart but only 

 one half their diameter from the laterals, whose long diameter is 

 1 1 times that of the median. The rear row is slightly recurved, its 

 laterals the same siiie as the front laterals, are half their diameter 

 away. The rear middle eyes are smaller than the laterals, and touch 

 them with their upper corner. 



The falx-sheath has 7 large teeth on inner margin and 2 small 

 off the row to the outside. 



The patella and tibia of all legs have two bare long streaks with 

 an intervening row of hairs. 



The superior spinnerets have the 3rd joint but shghtly longer 

 than the 2nd, both being shorter than the 1st. 



In other respects this agrees with the foregoing {A. grisea). 

 It differs from A. pallida L. Koch in coloration of abdomen, 

 and in the front middle eyes being 1| diameter instead of only 

 g diameter apart.

Aname pellucida, n. sp. (Text-fig. 32, p. 256.) 



Cephalothorax, legs, and mandibles rather bright pale yellow; hairs 

 brownish grey. Cephalic part not so much raised up as in A. grisea. 

 Abdomen black above, with yellow side-streaks 5 in number. (The 

 other parts are pale cream-colour, probably from recent moulting.) 



The eyes are all pale yellow. The front median, each on a round 

 ■black tubercle, are 2 diameters apart. The front side-eyes are 

 longer than the rear side Ig of their diameter. The long diameter 

 of the rear middle eyes is the same as that of their laterals, from 

 which they are just clearly separated. The front middle are the
