leg, narrowed in front, its width just behind the ocular area about J of 

 the length of the first tibia. Ocular area much as in dentigera, n. sp., 

 but the distance between the posterior laterals and the medians sub- 

 equal to the united width of the latter. 



Legs , relatively shorter, and, especially the first tibia and fourth 

 femur, stouter than in dentigera, the fourth femur being distinctly a 

 little thicker than that of first leg ; also, the anterior legs especially, 

 more densely clothed with black hairs. Metatarsus I. a little longer 

 than the tibia, I. and II. with a single series of stout spines on each 

 side, II. with an additional inner spine above the inner row near 

 base ; III. with 1 posterior and 3 anterior rows of 2-3 spines each ; 

 IV. with 1 basal and 1 apical outer spine only, the apical tuft com- 

 posed of 6 setae. Tibia I. with 3-4 rows of spines (7-8 in the lowest 

 row and 5-8 in the others together) on each side, the 2 inferior rows 

 very far apart ; II. with 2 rows on each side and often a single addi- 

 tional spine between the rows, the inner rows each of 5 spines, the 

 lower row abbreviated at base, the outer rows of 3-5 (upper) and 8-9 

 (lower) spines ; III. with 1 anterior and 3 posterior rows ; IV. un- 

 spined. Patellce unspined. Femora I. and II. with 4-5, III. with 

 2, IV. with 0-2 medio-dorsal spines, I. also with 3 (in 2 rows), II- 

 III. with 2 and IV. with 0-1 inner distal spines, I. and II. besides 

 with 1-2 outer distal spines.

 Allied to Ughtfooti, n. sp. 



Colour. — Carapace light brown, the cephalic portion darkened on 

 each side in front, veined with black posteriorly in one specimen. 

 Chelicera dark reddish-brown. Posterior pairs of legs pale ochra- 

 ceous, not at all or only faintly infuscated, the anterior pairs reddish- 

 yellow or reddish, infuscated at least on the under surface and on 

 distal part of inner surface of femora and on distal part of upper side 

 of tibiae along the median line. Abdomen purplish-black, with 

 narrow lateral yellow line, or the lateral and ventral surfaces almost 

 entirely pallid but with a pair of purplish marks posteriorly below. 

 Sternum and labium brownish-yellow, the latter dark brown on each 

 side. 



Carapace as long as the tibia and nearly f of the metatarsus of first 

 leg, narrowed in front, its width just behind the ocular area about
