Hasarius, sp. 



Hah. — Two specimens from Flat Rock Hole, July, 1914, 

 and one from Moorilyanna Native Well, July 28-30, 1914. 

 Each of these belong, apparently, to the same species, but are 

 too immature for description. 



Servaea obscura, n. sp. 



PI. Ixviii., fig. 22. 



9- Cephalothorax, 2*2 mm. long, 1*8 mm. broad ; 

 abdomen, 3'6 mm. long, 2"2 mm. broad. 



Cephalothorax ovate, nearly parallel-sided, chocolate- 

 brown, shining. Pars cephalica rather flat, not impressed, 

 inclined forward, sides declivous; ocular area broader than 

 long, each eye fringed with tawny and hoary hairs ; clypeus 

 not deep, fringed with rather long hairs. Pars thoracica 

 furnished with a few white and tawny adpressed scales, and 

 marked by a large but not well-defined depression, sides 

 declivous, sloping sharply rearwards, and retreating laterally 

 to posterior angle; marginal hand broad, yellow. Eyes in 

 three rows of 4, 2, 2. Front row recurved; median anterior 

 pair much the largest of the entire series, intermediate pair 

 (second row) minute, posterior eyes somewhat smaller than 

 front lateral eyes. Legs short, robust, hairy, armed with long, 

 very fine spines ; coxae and base of each femur pale yellow ; 

 from thence upper-surface and sides of each leg yellow, with 

 dark-brown annulations ; inferior surface of each yellow. 

 Relative lengths, 1, 4, 2, 3. Palpi short, robust, similar in 

 colour and armature to legs. Falces not long, robust, arched, 

 ooncolorous with cephalothorax, hairy, almost geniculate. 

 Maxillae and lahium yellowish, normal. Sternuin elongate, 

 brown, arched, clothed with long hoary hairs. Ahdomen 

 ovate, slightly overhanging base of cephalothorax, arched, 

 superior surface and sides chocolate-brown, slightly pubescent, 

 and having a number of white and tawny scales ; these latter, 

 like those on cephalothorax, lie flat upon the surface, are 

 elliptical, and each one has a distinctly raised ridge or ''mid- 

 rib" running down the centre, and is finely and laterally 

 striated ; inferior surface yellow-brown and furnished with 

 hoary scales. [All three specimens have apparently been 

 rubbed, and so have lost a large number of their scales.] 

 Epigynum small, difficult to locate owing to preponderance 

 of scales ; it consists of two circular depressed discs, the edges 

 of each of which are raised so as to form a ridge (fig. 22).
