‘The male appears to be larger than the female, but does not differ much 
from it in form or colouring ; the armature of the legs is similar. 
The palpi are moderately long and slender, brownish-black, furnished 
with whitish hairs; the humeral joint is about twice the length of the 
cubital and radial joints together, the latter is the shortest; the digital 
joint is oval, convex and hairy externally ; beneath there are black convex 
lobes; at the base of the outer side there is a short, pointed, concave, 
membraneous process. 
This species is common on the mountains of Canterbury and Westland, 
it affects the solid rocks, and in colour bears a close resemblance to its 
surroundings. A.T.U. 
Salticus albopalpis, sp.n. Pl. xi., fig. 17. 
Length of a mature female 9 mm. 
'The cephalothorax is somewhat quadrilateral, depressed ; black, thickly 
clothed with grey, black, and yellowish-hairs, forming the common tabby 
pattern ; thoracic fovea oblong ; the profile line forms a slight curve to the 
ocular area, the depth of which is about one-third of the cephalothorax ; the 
fore-part of this area is furnished with erect black hairs. 
The clypeus is thickly clothed with long white hairs, and in height is 
less than the diameter of one of the fore-lateral eyes. 
The two intermediate eyes of the anterior row are seated on collar-like 
prominences ; the transverse diameter of this row exceeds that of the hind- 
row; the intermediate laterals are equidistant from the fore- and hind- 
laterals. 
The first and second pairs of /egs are moderately strong ; relative length 
4, 1, 2,3; they are marked with black and brown annuli, and clothed with 
long, mostly erect, black and white hairs; the armature consists of the 
normal spines; the tarsi terminate with long curved claws; the inner claw 
of the fourth pair has about twenty fine comb-teeth gradually increasing in 
length and strength; the outer about fifteen ; on the first pair the inner - 
` claws have about twelve fine teeth, the outer four coarse teeth. 
The palpi are long and strong, resemble the legs in colour, and are 
furnished with remarkably long white hairs. 
The falces are moderately strong, vertical, of a light amber colour, 
rugulose ; armed with three acute teeth, two on the inner, and one on the 
outer row. 
The mazille are straight, rounded, and slightly pointed at the apex, 
light brown-umber. 
The labium is somewhat oval, brown, with a pale slightly recurved 
Sternum oval, dark brown, few white hairs.
