upper surface depressed between the 2 posterior eyes but convex 

 behind the depression. Integument olive-greenish or olive-brown, 

 with a median white stripe running along the thorax and spreading 

 over the posterior part of the head up to each posterior lateral eye ; 

 anterior surface of head more blackened and bordered behind and 

 laterally by a transverse arcuate white line running from each 

 anterior lateral angle upwards between the pair of median eyes on 

 each side to the median line. Median band on carapace densely 

 clothed with silvery-white hairs, which extend to each posterior 

 lateral eye ; on each side of this is a very broad band of more 

 scattered reddish hairs ; lateral margins of thorax with a band (or 

 series of triangular patches) of white hairs ; anterior surface of head 

 clothed with white and reddish hairs intermixed. 



Anterior median eyes small, about 2 diameters apart, and a little 

 more than a diameter from the posterior median eyes ; these eyes 

 large, a little more than twice as wide as an anterior median eye and 

 nearly 1^ diameters apart ; lateral eyes on each side subequal and 

 larger than the anterior medians, each posterior lateral eye with a 

 large white bristle overhanging it, the tubercle bearing the anterior 

 laterals long; row formed by the anterior eyes much wider than 

 that formed by the posterior ones. 



Abdomen w T ith a large conical process on each side above just 

 before the middle and a smaller median one in front overhanging 

 the thorax ; integument covered for the most part with silvery- white 

 hairs ; posterior part of dorsal surface with a longitudinal, olivaceous, 

 leaf -like band, which has wavy margins and is covered with reddish 

 and some white hairs ; anterior part with a longitudinal, median, 

 olivaceous or black mark, which is dilated on each side behind into 

 a long curved horn (reaching to the apex of the lateral tubercle), and 

 is bordered posteriorly by a transverse ridge clothed with yellow 

 hairs and joining the two tubercles; the median dark mark enclosed 

 anteriorly by a horseshoe- shaped white mark covered with silvery 

 hairs. Sides of abdomen with some olivaceous markings and a wavy 

 line. Ventral surface clothed with ruddy and white hairs inter- 

 mixed and marked with 4 white lunate spots, these spots densely 

 clothed with silvery hairs and bordered externally by a longitudinal 

 (soirfetimes indistinct) white line ; median line darker. Vulva 

 formed of a simple triangular plate acuminate in front, truncated 

 behind, and slightly transversely dilated within the epigastric fold ; 

 a small brown stripe on lateral edge of plate present at each hind 

 angle. 



Chelicera with longitudinal bands of pale yellow and olivaceous, 

 spotted with black on the distal half and furnished with 5-6 teeth in
