profound ; ocular area broader than long, occupying almost en- 

 tire width, black; clypeus black, not deep. Pars thoracica 

 broad, rounded, radial grooves moderately denned; median 

 fovea straight, profound; marginal band broad, fringed with 

 long black bristles. Eyes in two rows of four each ; those consti- 

 tuting the front row, which is straight, are of equal size : the 

 second row, which is decidedly longer than the anterior, is 

 slightly procurved, and of those constituting this row the 

 median pair are distinctly the smallest, and closer to each 

 other than to their lateral neighbours. Legs long, strong, 

 yellow, laterigrade, armed with powerful spines ; each femur, 

 patella, and tibia clothed on the underside with long, fine, 

 yellow hairs, and on the upper-surface with fine yellow 

 pubescence and each metatarsus and tarsus with long black hairs 

 and dense black scopula; relative lengths, 2, 1, 4, 3. Palpi 

 short, similar in colour and armature to legs. Falces short, 

 powerful, black, shining, arched, hairy, apices divergent; 

 fangs short, strong, nearly black, well curved. Maxillae 

 normal, orange-red, apices yellow, clothed and fringed with 

 black hair. Labium normal also, orange-red, clothed and 

 fringed with black hairs and bristles. Sternum yellow, shield- 

 shaped, moderately arched, clothed with silky-yellow hair, 

 and terminating obtusely between fourth pair of coxae. 

 Abdomen ovate, rather flat, slightly projecting over base of 

 cephalothorax, densely clothed with golden-yellow hair, and 

 ornamented on upper-surface with dark-brown markings 

 (fig. 5) ; inferior surface yellow, hairy. Epigynum as in figure 

 (fig. 6). 



Bab. — Devils Village, near Trinity. 



Note. — One adult specimen of this beautiful spider was 

 collected, and with it a large number of young individuals 

 which had evidently only recently been hatched. There was 

 no cocoon ; the latter would doubtless conform to the type of 

 egg-sac usually constructed by Sparassid spiders, viz., round, 

 cushion-shaped, flat, white, and closely woven.
