parallel. The sternum is narrowed and truncated in front and 

 rounded behind. The maxillae are twice as long as the labium, 

 which is short, wide, and squarely truncated. The abdomen is 

 widest in the middle. 



The cephahc part is bright red. There is a wide white band on 

 each side and a central white band on the thorax ; the rest of the 

 thoracic part is darker than the cephalic, but is decidedly reddish. 

 The abdomen has a black curved band around the anterior end, 

 and above this a snow-white band. The upper surface is bright 

 red, mth two longitudinal black bands from the middle of the 

 dorsum to the spinnerets, between which the surface is bronzed, 

 and a number of snow-white spots which form a handsome and 

 effective pattern (see drawing). Two of these are in the middle 

 of the abdomen just in front of the bronze region ; two more 

 appear at the edge of the bronze region on each side ; and two 

 larger spots, also snow-white, are found on each side of the 

 abdomen in the red region. 



The middle spinnerets are pale, the external ones black. The 

 legs are light coloured, irregularly dotted with black. The clypeus 

 is covered with long white hairs. The falces and mouth-parts are 

 dark reddish brown. The sternum is hght brown. The venter is 

 covered with Avhite hairs and is dotted with black. 



A single specimen. 



We have examples of this species in the Smith collection from 

 Santarem, the Brazilian variety being larger. It has a general 

 resemblance to Euophnjs coronigera of C. Koch. 



EuoPHKTS (?) PiTLCKELLA, sp. nov. (Plate LXII. figs. 7, 7 a.) 



S . Length 3. Length of cephalothorax 1*5 ; width of cephalo- 

 thorax 1. 



Legs 4, 3, 1, 2. 



The cephalothorax is high and looks rather long and heavy 

 compared to the abdomen. The sides are nearly parallel and 

 vertical, but widen out a little at the posterior end. The highest 

 point is at the dorsal eyes. The cephalic part is gently inclined, 

 and the anterior two-thirds of the thoracic part falls a little more 

 abruptly. The final slope of the thoracic part to the margin is 

 steep. The four antei^or eyes are close together in a curved row ; 

 the lateral are two-thirds as large as the middle eyes. The second 

 row is a little nearer the third than the first row. The third row 

 is as wide as the cephalothorax at that place, the eyes being nearly 

 as large as the lateral eyes of the first row. The clypeus is uarroA\". 

 The falces are short, vertical, and parallel. The sternum is Mide, 

 slightly rounded in front and pointed behind. The maxillae are 

 widely separated and are truncated at the extremities. The labium 

 is very small and is as wide as long. 



Our single specimen of this species is so badly rubbed that the 

 colour can only be guessed at. The cephalothorax is dark brown 

 with a black line around the lower margin, and seems to have 

 been pretty well covered with white hairs. The abdomen is lighter
