38 MR. n. R. HOGG ON 



The lip and maxillse have broad margins of pale yellow, the 

 outer and lower portions being black-brown, fringes dark grey. 

 The sternum is black-brown, with npstanding grey hair. 

 The coxee of the legs are bright yellow-brown, the femora reddish 

 brown with pale grey hair, the patellfe black-brown, tibiae yellow- 

 brown with dark band at fore end. Metatarsi and tarsi darker 

 yellow, with brown rings and dark brown spines and bristles. 



The abdomen is pale yellow-brown on the back and sides, with five 

 pairs of dark muscle-spots on the former, each side of a scalloped 

 pale yellow longitudinal streak reaching from the base to the 

 posterior end. On the under side in front of the genital fold is a 

 wedge-shaped dark streak, narrowing posteriorly, with a narrow 

 dark streak on each side and smaller dark streaks nearei* to the 

 rear outside the latter again. The spinnerets and epigyne are 

 black -brown. 



Mr. Vallentin has furnished me with a coloured drawing of 

 the specimens when first taken. This shows a greyish-green 

 cephalothoi"ax and bright emerald-green abdomen with white 

 longitudinal streak. The femora aie bright crimson, the other 

 joints yellow with brown rings. 



The cephalothorax is longer than broad, rounded at the sides, 

 convex, with the cephalic part well raised and distinctly separated 

 by lateral depressions from the thoracic part. The hairs are long, 

 pointing forward, and laid in streaks on the cephalic part ; on the 

 thoracic they point downwards on the sides and upwards on the 

 marginal streak. From the rear margin as far up as the end of 

 the pars cephalica is a i-liomboidal area bare of hair ; this, however, 

 is hidden by the overhanging abdomen. 



The rear row of eyes is slightly i-ecurved seen from above, but 

 straight from in front. The front row sti'ongly recurved from 

 each position. 



The four median eyes are raised on a distinct prominence which 

 overhangs the clypeus. They are equal in size, the rear pair a 

 diameter apart; the fi-ont pair, 2 diameters apart, are Ig diameters 

 from the rear. The side eyes ai-e similarly situated on rather large 

 prominences, and are about half a diameter from each other. The 

 clypeus is about Ij diameters of the front median eyes, but curves 

 nnder the eye-space to the insertion of the mandibles, and vertically 

 is not so much. 



The mandibles are slightly convex at the base but thence rather 

 straight to the front edge. A few straggling hairs at the base and 

 along the inner edge. The fangs are long and powerful. There 

 are four teeth on the outer mai'gin of the falx-sheath, the third 

 one being stout and twice as long as the others ; on the inner 

 margin are three equal teeth of modeiate length. 



The lip is broader than long, oblong at the base to about half 

 of its height, thence sloping to a point anteriorly. This part is 

 all pale. The maxillce are roughly triangular, broadest in front, 

 with very broad pale margins. 



The sternum is a broad shield-shape, slightly convex, hollowed
