shaped band and lateral margins of the abdomen blackish-brown. 
Ventral surface of abdomen silvery-white with dark-black inter-

with black reticulations. 
Body. Eyemound spherical, slightly canaliculate, smooth, set 
almost twice its diameter from the anterior margin of the

sloping sharply down to the chelicerae in front of the eyemound. 
Abdomen soft, tergites defined by transverse lines of small black 
indentations. Genital operculum extending to the posterior mar- 
gin of coxae II, widening distally. Mouthparts and maxillary

ment with a dorsal notch and a short spinous process on the 
proximo-ventral surface. Second segment relatively stout; fixed

row of small even denticulations; movable finger similar, but the 
proximal large tooth fits beyond that of the fixed finger when 
closed.

row of from 6 to 8 small sharp teeth. 
Legs. All сохае smooth. Trochantera I-III with each a number
