basal segment but much longer than the second segment. Anterior 
spinners 24-34 times their diameter (in the latter case more than 
their own length) apart. 
Chelicere with 9-11 teeth in the inner row below; rastellum com- 
posed of long, fine and moderately stout bristles. | 
Pedipalps.—Bulb elongate pear-shaped, composed of a subglobular 
basal portion and a narrowed distal portion of about equal lengths, 
the distal portion truncated at the apex and provided there with a 
short, spirally curved, slender, claw-like process, reaching a little 
beyond the middle of the tibia. Tarsus not spined. Tibia somewhat 
swollen, the excavation for the reception of the bulb extending over 
almost the whole length of the under surface, the outer edge bordering 
the excavation produced near the middle into a conical tooth; the 
inner surface with 4—5 spines in the distal half, and often also with 
an additional one near the base, the outer surface with 1 spine near 
the apex. Patella and femur spined at the apex above. 
Legs.—Metatarsus I with the proximal half or more strongly 
bowed, the concave side below, the under surface with a pair of 
spines at the apex, an outer spine a little beyond the middle and a 
small inner spine (absent in one specimen) near the base, the inner 
surface with a strong straight spine in the middle; II with 2 apical, 
2 (sometimes 1) mesial and 2 basal spines below, also 1-2 on the 
inner, 1—2 on the dorsal, and 0-1 on the outer surfaces; III and IV 
numerously spined. Tibia I stout, not incrassated distally, the 
under surface with 2 apical, 1 basal and sometimes 1 mesial spine 
along the inner, and a row of 4 spines along the outer margin, the 
basal outer spine small and sometimes absent, the 2 outer middle 
ones long and stout, the outer apical one short but equally stout, 
spur-like, stronger than the inner apical spines; the inner surface 
with 3 superior spines; II with similarly arranged but slenderer 
spines, the small basal outer spine below absent, the inner surface 
with only two superior spines ; III with 3 apical, 1-2 mesial and 2 
basal spines below, also 2 on outer, 2 on dorsal and 3 (sometimes 2 
or 4) on inner surfaces; IV with 3 apical, 2 mesial and 2 basal 
spines below, also 2 on the outer and 3 on the inner surfaces. 
Patella with 1-2 internal spines, III also with 2 spines on the 
anterior surface. Femora spined above. Scopule as in H. lanata, 
except that in tarsus III the dividing band of setze is obsolete and 
in metatarsus I the broad part of the scopula is confined to the 
distal third of the segment. Inferior claw of anterior legs minute 
but more easily distinguishable than in the 2 preceding species. 
Measurements.—Total length 17; length of carapace 7, width 54.
