New South African Trap-Door Spiders. 301 
between the posterior lateral eyes, its width only very slightly less 
than the length of the metatarsus of first leg. The area formed by 
the anterior lateral and anterior median eyes slightly wider behind 
than in front, and about 12 times as long as wide behind ; the median 
eyes slightly over an eye’s diameter apart; the lateral eyes slightly 
larger, less than an eye’s diameter apart, each situated on the anterior 
side of a low tubercle with the visual axis directed obliquely upwards 
at an angle of about 30° to the horizontal. The posterior row of 
eyes lightly procurved; the median ones the smallest of the 8, their 
distance apart slightly greater than their distance from the lateral 
eyes, their outer margins slightly further apart than those of the 
anterior median eyes ; the lateral eyes much nearer to the anterior 
edge of the carapace than to one another. 
Pedipalps with a band of long and short stout spines on the lower 
part of both the inner and outer surfaces of the tarsus and tibia ; 
patella with a single internal spine ; femur with a pair of stout, long, 
distal, internal spines, in addition to numerous, stout, spiniform 
setee along the inner inferior edge. 
Legs.—First leg with the tibia as long as the metatarsus and 4 the 
tarsus ; outer and inner surfaces of the tarsus, metatarsus, and tibia 
with a band of spines similar to those on the pedipalps, but the 
anterior band on the tibia abbreviated proximally, the tibia and 
metatarsus also often with a spine below; patella not spined, but 
with a few, stout, distal, spiniform seta below. Second leg spined 
like the first, except that the proximal posterior spines of the tibia are 
long and setiform. Tarsus of third leg with a few distal spinules 
below; the metatarsus with a band of short spinules along both 
anterior and posterior upper edges and 0-1 distal setiform spine 
below ; the tibia with a pair of similar but broader bands of spinules ; 
the patella with the anterior band only, of which the distal 5-6 spines 
form a transverse row overhanging the distal edge of the segment, the 
posterior upper edge also with a pair of apical spinules. Fourth leg 
with a group of infero-anterior spinules distally on the tarsus, and 
with several pairs of similarly situated spines and spiniform seta on 
the metatarsus ; tibia with 0-1 external spine at the base; patella 
with a broad band of short spinules along the anterior upper edge. 
Gemtal operculwm with the posterior striae on its surface near to 
the lightly convex posterior margin. 
Measurements.—Total length 30; length of carapace 94, width 84 ; 
length of tibia of first leg 3°6; width of ocular area 23.
