Carapace about as long as the metatarsus and half the tarsus of 
fourth leg, and as long as the tibia and # of the metatarsus of first 
leg. 
Tibia of first leg 4 times as long as high in the middle, its length 
equal to that of the metatarsus together with + of the tarsus, and 
almost equal to the distance from the fovea to the anterior margin of 
the ocular tubercle. Metatarsws only very slightly curved, its length 
equal to the distance from the fovea to the posterior margin of the 
ocular tubercle. 
Process of pedipalpal bulb stoutish, not filiform but rather broad 
and distinctly laterally compressed distally, with well-marked sig- 
moid flexure at the apex. 
Apical segment of posterior spiuners obtusely conical in form and 
a little (about }) longer than the penultimate segment, but a little 
shorter than the ocular tubercle. | 
2. Colowr.—Carapace and limbs chestnut to mahogany-brown ; 
the short hairs on the legs mouse-grey ; the stripes on the carapace 
pale ochraceous to pale cream-coloured; the coat of shorter hairs on 
the abdomen dark, thickly speckled all over with mouse-grey or 
mouse-brown spots, the dorsal surface with a very distinct black 
pattern. 
Carapace slightly or considerably longer than the metatarsus and 
tarsus of fourth leg, and equal to the tibia, metatarsus and 2 to 4 the 
tarsus of first leg. 
Tibia of first leg 22 times as long as high in the middle, its length 
being from over 3 up to $ of the distance from the fovea to the hind 
margin of the ocular tubercle, and equal to the metatarsus and }—+ 
of the tarsus. 
Apical segment of spinners obtusely conical in form (when not 
grooved below), and equal to or a little longer than the penultimate 
segment, but decidedly shorter than the ocular tubercle. 
Measurements.—Total length of largest specimens 3 28, 9 42; 
length of carapace g¢ 12, ? 184, of tibia of first leg g 74, 9 83, 
of metatarsus g 6:2, 9 7; distance from fovea to anterior margin 
of carapace in $ 8, to posterior margin of ocular tubercle in ? 10}. 
The lower group of notes on the cheliceree are composed of 8-13 
spines arranged in one or two more or less regular series, or 
irregularly and about 2 deep, the whole group being in some cases 
not separated from the sete of the inferior fringe, while in others 
it is distinctly, although only very slightly, separated from the 
fringe.
