joints. The radial is about double the length of the cubital joint, and 
decreases a little in strength gradually from its hinder to its fore extremity. 
The digital joint is of a somewhat oval form, broadest in front, where it is 
notched or strongly indented. The palpal organs consist of a simple pyriform 
corneous bulb, its stem tapering to a point, curved, and directed outwards and 
backwards. 
The Falces are moderate in strength, roundly prominent, and of rich 
chestnut-brown colour, furnished with bristly hairs in front. 
The Mazille are strong and divergent, the extremity of each, on the inner 
side, is slightly produced into an obtusely prominent point. 
The Labium is short, and of a somewhat semi-circular form. These parts 
are of a brownish-yellow colour. 
The Sternum is not large ; it is broader behind than at its fore part, hairy, 
and of a greenish yellow-brown colour. 
The Abdomen is rather large, oval, and moderately convex above ; it is of 
a blackish-brown colour, mottled and marked with pale whitish drab-yellow, 
and an indistinct pattern may be traced showing a longitudinal central 
tapering dark bar, from which on either side several broadish, pale, and 
slightly oblique bars run off to the sides. The upper-side is furnished with 
numerous long tapering bristly hairs, each springing from a minute black 
spot. The four large spiracular plates on the under-side are yellow, with a 
large patch of black brown on each. The spinners are four in number ; those 
of the superior pair are tapering, nearly as long as the abdomen, and consisting 
of three joints of nearly equal length ; they are hairy, and of a greenish yellow- 
brown colour. Those of the inferior pair are small, one-jointed, and not more 
than half the length of a single joint of the superior pair. 
An adult female agreed substantially with the above description of the 
male, except in being rather larger and wanting the abnormal form and 
development of the tibie and metatarsi of the legs of the first pair, and, of 
course, differing also in the structure of the palpi, which, in this sex, are 
simply pediform, and terminate with a single strongish, rather blunt-pointed, 
curved claw, armed beneath with (apparently) a single tooth towards 
its base. 
An adult of each sex of this spider was received from Captain F. W. Hutton, 
by whom they were found at Wellington, New Zealand.
