contrasted with tho black ocular area, will also serve to separate 

 them at a glance. 



The cephalo-thorax is dark brown, sparingly clothed with 

 whitish hairs, and some prominent black bristles on the caput, 

 tho upper part of which, comprising tho ocular area, is black. 

 The central and lateral thoracic bands are broad, of a brownish- 

 yellow hue and irregularly edged. The central band is strongly 

 constrictod (in somo instances almost divided), at the occiput, 

 and the lateral ones run very near to the margins, and are 

 continuod round tho clypeus. The breadth of these bands 

 usually equals the breadth of the brown parts between them. 



The legs are long ; they are of a yellowish colour, tinged with 

 red-brown, and of ton with greenish olive; the femora of the 

 male are strongly suffused with blackish, thoso of the fomale 

 being slightly marked and obscurely blotched with brown on 

 their upper sides. 



The palpi (of the male) are tolerably long, of a brownish- 

 yellow colour, sometimes much darkor ; tho radial and 

 digital joints are black-brown, and densely clothed with long 

 coarse, black hairs. The digital joint is large. Tho palpal 

 organs are rather complex, and a strongish, sharp-pointed, 

 oblique, tapering spine issues from near their base on tho inner 

 side, and its slightly curved point terminates near their fore 

 extremity on the outer side. 



The abdomen is reddish and yellow-brown, furnished with 

 whitish-yellowish and dark hairs. The pattern is obscure 

 in adult examples. Tho normal marking on tho fore-half of 

 the upper side is yellow-brown, pointod at its hinder extremity, 

 and has an angular prominence on each side at its broadest part. 

 Tho angular bars are dark-brown, generally obscure, but the 

 intervening yellow-brown spaces ofton themselves form strong 

 angular bars. The extremities of the dark bars form a zigzag 

 or dentated line, from the outer angles of which obscure oblique 

 lines of blackish spots traverse the sides ; the intervals of the 

 denticulations are of a paler hue. The sides and undcrpart of
