scarcely recurved line, the medians smaller than the anterior median 
eyes, much smaller than the posterior laterals and much nearer to 
the latter than to the former, the posterior lateral eyes much larger 
than the anterior medians but smaller than the anterior laterals and 
separated from them by a space about equal to 4 their own length. 
Labium muticous. Coxe of pedipalps with a small patch of about 
20 small teeth at the base. 
Posterior spinners long, almost as long as the sternum and labium 
together and + as long as the abdomen, the 3 segments subequal 
in length, the stout basal one being only slightly longer than 
each of the other two, the distal segment slender, considerably 
longer than the anterior spinners, which are slightly more than twice 
their own diameter apart. 
Chelicere with 8 teeth in the inner row below, the outer row 
represented by about 3 very minute posterior teeth; anterior sur- 
face covered as usual with numerous, short, stout sete; the rastellum 
composed of numerous, long, rather slender sete. 
Pedipalps.—Femur and patella with a spine above. Tibia with 5 
spines on the distal 4 of the inner surface, the outer surface with 2 
spines along the inferior edge behind and a longitudinal row of 2 (1 
apical and 1 mesial) spines along the middle. Tarsus with a group 
of short stout spines at the apex above. The bulb is subspherical, 
the process slender and lightly curved, longer than the bulb but 
ending at a little distance from the base of the tibia. 
Legs.—Metatarsus I straight, with 1 outer apical spine below, 1 
outer and 1 inner spine near the base below, and 1 long, almost 
straight spine on the inner surface a little behind the middle; II 
spined as in I, but with an inner apical spine below in addition and 
1-2 spines on the inner surface; III and IV numerously spined. 
Tibia I robust but not incrassated, the under surface with a double 
row of spines along each edge, viz., 1 apical, 2 mesial and 2 basal 
spines along the outer and 2 apical, 2 mesial and 1 basal spine 
along the inner edge, the apical outer spine spur-like, stouter than 
the others, placed on a slight tubercle, the inner surface also with a 
longitudinal row of 2 strong spines nearer the superior edge; II with 
an outer row of 3-4 and an inner row of 2-3 spines below and 2 
superior spines on the inner surface ; III with 3 apical spines and 
2 other pairs of spines below, also 2 spines on outer, 1 on dorsal 
and 2 on inner surfaces; IV with paired spines below, besides 2 
others on the outer and 2 on the inner surfaces. Patelle with 1-2 
internal spines, III with 2 outer spines as well. Femora with 
spines and spiniform sets above. Scopule asin H. lanata, except that 
in metatarsus I the broad part of the scopula occupies at least 3 of the
