confluent annuli on tibiae ; fore-end of metatarsi and tarsi 

 suffused ; I. and II., III. and IV. of about equal strength ; 

 thighs of first and second pairs much the strongest ; tibiae 

 cylindrical, slender, one-third longer than patellary joints ; 

 metatarsi twice as long as tarsi, together shorter than 

 tibial joints by one-third; hairs, fine, short ; femoral joints 

 of first, second, and third pairs armed beneath with two 

 irregular rows of sub-conical tubercles, of different sizes ; 

 projecting short black spines ; outer superior tarsal claw- 

 much the stoutest and longest ; inner claw sharply curved ; 

 three close teeth ; inferior claw closely inflected, somewhat 

 exceeds inner both in length and strength; axillary claws. 



Palpi greenish-brown ; armature, fine, black hairs ; stout, 

 moderately long ; radial joint incrassated forwards, sur- 

 passes other articles in length and strength ; pars cubitalis, 

 short; penultimate and digital joints of about same length ; 

 palpal claw short, sharply bent ; three close teeth. 



Falces greenish-brown, suffused with a deeper shade ; 

 somewhat hairy ; taper moderately, directed inwards, fully 

 as long as pars radialis of palpus ; about as stout as basal 

 end ; fang, short. 



Maxillce, light greenish-brown, short ; second half dilated, 

 roundly pointed, directed towards each other. 



Labium and maxillae concolorous, perceptibly broader than 

 long, semi-circular.

Breadth of abdomen between the short, outward projecting 

 humeral tubercles exceeds the length by scarcely one third ; 

 profile contour sub-conoid, anterior slope moderate, posterior 

 dip abrupt; base procurved between anterior rounded 

 protuberances ; crest occupied by two large semi-globose, 

 convoluted humps, prominent behind, separated by a level 

 area about one half their diameter ; impressed spots which 

 occur on humps and on the fore and hind smooth regions do 

 not differ essentially in their arrangement from the similar 

 indentations found on T. voraginosa ; ground colour of anterior 

 slope creamy-fulvus, black heart-shaped spot above petiole 

 throws off on either side, two olive-black sinuating lines 

 converging towards each other on inner side of fore 

 protuberances, latter display at their base, upper side, a dark 

 impressed spot ; humps closely tattooed with bluish-green lines 

 and leaf-like marks ; sides of anterior incline figured with 

 similar but more open pattern ; posterior side has a light 

 copper-brown hue, suffused with an olive-brown shade, faint
