3. Colour.—Carapace black, clothed with pinkish-white hairs, 
forming radiating stripes, and especially dense at the sides ; cephalic 
portion with a large patch of dark olivaceous hairs on each side 
of the ocular tubercle; some such hairs also between the radiating 
stripes on the thoracic portion; the horn of the fovea clothed 
with dark olivaceous hairs and striped with white; limbs clothed on 
the upper surface with mouse-brown and grey hairs intermixed, the 
tibize with a pair of distinct or indistinct rows of white dashes ; the 
sides and under surface of the limbs with the short hairs paler
