Female. — Cephalothorax as long as tibia and patella of the fourth 

 pair, yellowish brown, with the extreme margin blackish, covered 

 with fine yellowish or whitish hair, and also provided with long 

 sparse black hairs ; it is but slightly rounded on the sides, and much 

 narrowed in front, the breadth of clypeus being about three-fourths 

 of the breadth of pars thoracic a ; central furrow rather long. Ster- 

 num reddish brown, with a tubercle near the insertion of each of the 

 six anterior coxae. Maxillae and labium of a darker brown. The 

 eyes of the front row equidistant from each other ; the hind central 

 eves more distant from each other than from the hind laterals. 

 Mandibles as long as metatarsi of the first pair, rather thicker than 

 the fore thighs, strongly convex above, towards the base, more than 

 double as long as broad at the base, smooth and shining, of a dark 

 rustv brown color. Palpi and legs brownish yellow ; first and second 

 pair of legs nearly of the same length (the second perhaps a little 

 longer than the first) ; fourth pair (with the length of its metatarsus) 

 much exceeding the first pair in length. The tibia of the third 

 pair has two spines on the under side. The metatarsi of the 

 fourth pair are nearly twice as long as those of the first pair. The 

 abdomen is of a dark blackish brown, and appears to have been 

 covered with fine pale hair ; the belly is paler than the back ; the 

 area of the vulva is blackish, and is on each side elevated into a low, 

 broad, inwardly curved costa, which limits the outer side of a rather 

 laro-e fovea; the space between the two foveas is broad, truncated 

 behind, of a paler color, and shows a fine longitudinal middle furrow. 

 The mamillae are long, yellowish.
