ochraceous and more or less infuscated, the distal segments being 
paler; coxz and sternum pale ochraceous; abdomen very pale 
yellowish, marked as in H. sagittarwus. 
Carapace as long as the metatarsus and } of the tarsus of fourth 
leg, and equal to the metatarsus and about # of the tarsus or the 
tibia and 2 of the metatarsus of first leg. Fovea strongly recurved. 
Chelicere with 11-14 teeth in the inner row below, the under side 
(measured along the groove) considerably shorter than the sternum. | 
Labium and coxe of pedipalps muticous. 
Posterior spinners with the apical segment slightly more than 4 as 
long as the penultimate segment (measured below). 
~~ Pedipalps.—Tibia strongly gibbous on the outer surface at the 
commencement of the distal third; the process of the palpal organ 
shorter than the bulb, strongly curved, stout, broad and flattened, the 
apex somewhat pointed. 
Legs very stout; the tarsi muticous. Metatarsus I lightly but 
distinctly curved, the under side lightly concave, without spines, 
excepting an apical one at the inner and 3 along the outer edge, 
the inner surface besides with 3 long, lightly curved spines in the 
basal half and a small distal one, all in a row, sometimes also with a 
short mesial spine at the upper inner edge, the outer surface also 
witha mesial spine; II spined much as in I, but the inner inferior 
edge with an additional spine in the middle ; IIJ and IV numerously 
spined. Tibia I short and stout, its dorsal length only about 2} times 
its height distally, the segment strongly incrassated below distally, 
the apical tubercle rather large, bearing 2 short, blunt, very broad, 
lightly curved, subequal, spur-like spines, of which the outer one 
(representing the inner, apical, inferior spine of the previous species) 
is narrower than the inner, and separated from it by a conical process 
of the tubercle, which fits into a concavity at the base of the inner 
spur; the more proximal tubercle on the inner surface bearing a 
larger, very strong, spur-like spine with strong sigmoid curvature ; 
under side of tibia with an apical outer spine, 3 spines in the 
middle and a pair at the base, the inner surface also with a row 
of 3 spines above and the outer surface with 1-2 spines in the 
upper part; tibia II with several spines below, 3 along the upper 
inner edge and 1 on the outer surface. All the patelle spined, 
III with the usual anterior row of 3 spines. Femora spined above. 
Tarsi I-III with a thick, very wide scopula, divided by a broad dense 
band of bristles, IV also scopulate below. Metatarsi I and II also 
scopulate, except in the basal part, the scopule divided by a band of 
bristles, III with a thin patch of scopular hairs in the distal part. 
2 Colour.—In the largest example the chelicerz are black, the
