 4-5, and an inner row of 3, besides an odd apical and sometimes a 

 basal spine situated between the two latter rows. 



Posterior spinners with the apical segment acuminate, slightly 

 longer than the middle one.

Colour. — Carapace pale ochraceous and lightly infuscated in places 

 on the thoracic portion, the cephalic portion brown ; chelicera 

 darker brown ; legs, sternum, coxae, and abdomen pale yellowish, 

 the 4 distal segments of first leg reddish, the sternum slightly infus- 

 cated at anterior and lateral margins, the abdomen blackened on the 

 dorsal surface and round the group of spinners ; hairs black. 



Carapace as long as the tibia and -J the metatarsus, but slightly 

 exceeding the metatarsus and tarsus of first leg, and a little shorter 

 than the metatarsus and tarsus of fourth leg ; posterior marginal 

 spines subsetiform, present above the coxae of fourth pair of legs 

 only, the posterior surface with a few sigmoid spines. 



Ocular area a little wider behind than in front ; the anterior row 

 slightly procurved, the eyes equi-distant, the laterals large, about 

 J longer than the medians ; the posterior row strongly recurved, the 

 lateral eyes long, oval, distant about their own length or slightly less 

 from the anterior laterals and a little longer than the anterior 

 medians ; posterior median eyes slightly oval, about two- thirds as 

 long as the laterals. 



Pedipalps as in P. nigriceps (Pure.) (Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, 

 vol. xi., p. 358, 1902), except that the spine of the palpal organ is a 

 little longer than the bulb.
