segment of tibia and proximal segment of tarsus yellowish, almost 
whitish, tactile organ yellowish; legs ii, iii, and iv light brown, 
femorae with four yellowish annulations, tibiae with subbasal 
yellowish annulation and a faint indication of a distal annulation ; 
tibia iv also annulated on each segment distally; palpi light 
brown, femorae with somewhat darker medial and distal trans- 
verse bands, tibiae with medial transverse band; sternum and 
coxae yellowish. Abdomen light brown, each tergite with darker 
rectangular patches anteriorly in the median line and laterally, 
sternites yellowish. 
Carapace obcordate, convex, finely granular; grooves moder- 
ately distinct; anterior margin straight truncate, armed with six 
RANT spines; posterior and lateral margins forming a narrow 
ange. : 
Eyes small and about equal in size; the two median, placed 
obliquely on a moderately high tubercle almost touching the 
anterior carapacal margin and. which is surmounted by a pair of 
small tubercles each carrying a slender spine, are slightly more 
than their diameter apart. The three lateral eyes on each side are 
grouped together on a low tubercle which is close to the antero- 
lateral carapacal margin. 
Chelicerae somewhat cylindrical in shape, projecting past the 
anterior margin of the carapace; promargin of falx-furrow (Fig. 
5) armed with four teeth of which that nearest the base of the 
fang is bifid, and the two intermediate slightly the smallest; 
retromargin with a minute tooth near the base of the fang. Fang 
moderately long, curved, armed on the inside of the curve with 
six small contiguous teeth of which the second from the base of 
the fang is the largest, the others decreasing in length distally. 
Prosternum long, tapered anteriorly, provided with slender 
spines of which two are apical. Mesosternum subround, provided 
with two pairs of slender submedial spines. Metasternum also 
subround, about equal in size to the mesosternum, placed between 
coxae iii, provided with one pair of submedial spines. 
Palpi relatively short, moderately broad, and well armed. 
Femur armed dorsally with a row of five large spines of which 
the proximal is about equal in size to the distal, the others 
decreasing in length distally; between the distal spine and the 
apical end of the segment is an additional minute spine, and 
between the second and the third an additional intermediate spine. 
Ventrally the femur is armed with four large spines of which the 
proximal is the smallest, the others decreasing in length distally ;
