slightly clouded with light yollow-brown in front of and behind 

 the eyes, where the darker portion is of an angular form. 



The legs are pale yellow-brown, often with a longitudinal 

 white stripe beneath the femora. 



The spines are short, and placod only beneath the metatarsi 

 and the fore-extremity of the tibice. 



The abdomen is pale yollow-white, longitudinally rugulose 

 on the sides, and transversely bohind. It is often clouded with 

 yellow-brown, especially behind, and on the sides ; immature 

 examples are frequently suffused and marked with a delicate 

 pink, but this seems to go off when maturity is attained, and 

 always fados soon after immersion in spirits of wine. 



The male is darker than the female. Tho surface of the 

 cephalo-thorax is thickly covered with minute -granulations, 

 each surmounted with a vory short spinous bristle, and the sides 

 are of a rich dark reddish yellow-brown, tho central band being 

 paler. The clypeus is less in height than that of tho female, being 

 equal to half the facial space. Tho logs of the two first pairs 

 are, proportionately, much longer than the others, and are of a 

 dark brown colour, annulated with light yellow-brown. The 

 annulation is less distinct in the adult than in the immature 

 examples. The two hinder pairs are much paler than the others, 

 being of a dull brownish-yellow hue. The tibise and metatarsi 

 are furnished beneath with long bristly hairs and fine spines. 



The palpi are short, the radial joint has, on the outer side 

 near the hinder extremity, some minute black tubercles from 

 each of which springs a slender bristly hair ; there are also on 

 each side a few longer, stronger, black bristles. The outer side 

 of tho fore-extremity is producod into a long, not very stout, 

 slightly-curved apophysis, as long or longer than the joint itself, 

 and its enlarged, obtuse termination is directed downwards, and 

 is sharp pointed underneath. Benoath the extremity of the 

 radial joint, there is also a much smaller, curved, and blunt- 

 pointod apophysis. The digital joint is rather large, and of a 

 round-oval form ; the palpal organs are not prominent, and 

 their structure is very simple.
