AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. 



277 



Numerous rather large club-sliaped spines on both hp and 

 maxillge. The latter has a rounded prominence at the inner fore 

 corner and a pronounced heel at the lower outer. 



On the inner margin of falx-sheath is a row of about 15 teeth, 

 and a thick fringe of orange-coloured hair on the outer. 



The first and third joints of the superior spinnerets are equal 

 and longer than the second ; the last cylindrical, the others tapering. 

 The second pair are about three diameters apart, and the small 

 third pair below and outside these. 



The tarsi of the female are all without scopulse.

The front two pairs of tarsi in the male have a divided scopula 

 but without setae, and a small pair of spines near the anterior end ; 

 only the posterior two pairs have a double row of setae in the 

 division of the scopula and a row of spines on each side. 



One row of about 8 pectinations crosses the superior tarsal 

 claws. The inferior claw is bare. 



The palpal stigma of the male is about twice the length of 

 the bulb, the first half flattened but tapering into a very fine 

 point.
