The colouring of the cephalothorax and abdomen both above 

 •and below is a laniform deep black-brown, with the exception of 

 ti lozenge-shaped whitish-haired patch round the thoracic fovea 

 of the former. The eyes are black. 



The mandibles, lip, raaxillai, and sternum are rather dai'k 

 yellow-brown. 



The legs are brown, with the exception of the tarsal joints, 

 which are yellow. 



The shape of the cephalothorax, eyes, mandibles, lip, maxillie, 

 and sternum are as in the above-described, but the legs are finer 

 and more heavily bespined^a single spine on the inner side of 

 each femur, two single on the upper side of femur 1 and 2. 



The spines on the tibia and metatarsus are longer and stouter, 

 and the tarsal joint of the third and fourth pair of legs is more 

 than half as long as the metatarsus of the same. The abdomen 

 is narrower in proportion to its length. The sternum projects 

 ratl-.er farther between the rear coxte, and the whole specimen 

 is distinctly smaller and more lightly formed.
