43 Araneae. 245 
Colour pale-yellow, the markings as in A. pallidus n. sp., except that the underside is entirely 
without black (except sometimes between the lung-opercula) and the legs are less strongly banded, the 
femora often with scarcely any infuscate markings. 
Anterior row of eyes strongly procurved, the laterals about twice as wide as a median eye; 
posterior row of eyes very slightly narrower than the anterior row, strongly procurved, the curvature 
subequal to (cf) or greater than (?) that of the anterior row, the median eyes elongate or subreniform, 
scarcely further from each other than from the laterals, their hind margins touching or just cutting a line 
joining the anterior margins of the lateral eyes ; area formed by the four lateral eyes a little wider than long. 
Legs. Metatarsus I with 3 inner and 2 outer spines below, the inner surface in the <J sometimes 
with an upper spine besides ; tibia I and femur I spined as in A. flavipes n. sp. 
Inferior Spinners with 3 large apical fusules. 
Vulva of ? as in PI. XI, Fig. 33. 
Pedipalps of <? rather short, the patella short, the tibia with very short transverse body and a 
very long and stout superior (not outer) process, which is strongly curved and appressed to the tarsus, the 
distal part descending on the outerside of the latter and ending in a curved point, as in PI. XI, Fig. 34 ; 
tarsus large, deeply sinuate distally on outer margin, the basal part with a peculiar forked brown thickening 
on its outer surface within the curvature of the tibial process; palpal organ very large, with a slender 
curved spine ending anteriorly under the tip of the tarsus, and a flattened black spine more proximally 
(both visible in the figure). 
Length ? 4 3 / 4 mm, $ 4 J | 4 mm. 
b) I d from Otjimbingwe, Southern Hereroland, September 1903, with the epigastric area of abdomen 
considerably blackened. 
0. Asemesthes albovittatus n. sp. 
PI. XI, Fig. 35. 
I ? from Lüderitz Bay, Great Namaqualand, April 1903. 
Colour. Cephalothorax infuscated with a very broad band of prone snow-white hairs on each 
side along the margin, the space between the bands only a little broader than one of the bands ; abdomen 
closely covered with black and white hairs forming a pattern, the sides and a broad median band extending 
from the anterior margin to a short distance from the hind end black, the rest of the upper surface white 
(in the form of a large U occupying the entire length and breadth of the dorsal surface) ; underside of 
abdomen pale-yellowish, more sparsely clothed with fine blackish hairs; legs pale-yellowish, sparsely clothed 
with snow-white hairs and with black hairs and setae, the femora for the greater part infuscated, some of 
the other segments also faintly infuscated in places, especially the distal ends of the tarsi ; sternum blackened 
round the margins, paler in the middle. 
Anterior row of eyes strongly procurved, the median eyes with their centres, if anything, a trifle 
above the level of the superior margins of the very large lateral eyes; posterior row of eyes narrower, very 
strongly recurved, the curvature much stronger than that of the anterior row viewed from above, the eyes 
smaller than the corresponding eyes of the anterior row, the medians round, much nearer to one another 
than to the laterals and placed at some distance in front of the latter ; area formed by the four lateral eyes 
noly very slightly wider in front than long.
