Besides its much greater size, this differs from A. pallida L. 

 Koch in the greater distance and colour of its front middle eyes, 

 the equality in size of its middle and side eyes of rear row, the 

 straighter front row ; the 1st and 4th pairs of legs being more 

 nearly equal in length.

On comparing the Australian with some S.- American specimens 

 of BracJiythelece recently to baud, they certainly agree in many 

 points. In eyes, spines of lip, shape of maxillae and sternum, 

 and type of superior mammillae they agree. In the Australian the 

 cephalic part is leather more raised up and the fovea deeper ; the 

 inferior mammillae are nearer together. In the S, -American all the 

 tarsi are scopulated instead of only the front two pairs, and are 

 more flexuous instead of straight and firm.
