distinctly less than half that of the facial space, and a few fino 

 hut prominent bristles directed forwards form a central longitu- 

 dinal line on the top of the caput. The colour of the cephalo- 

 thorax is a dull yellowish-brown. 



The eyes of the posterior row form a strong curve, while the 

 anterior row is nearly straight, so that (when looked at from in 

 front) each of the hind-central eyes taken with the fore-laterals 

 form an isosceles triangle ; the eyes of the hind-central pair are 

 soparated by rather less, or at least no more, than an eye's 

 diameter, and are distinctly nearer to each other than each is to 

 the hind-lateral eye on its side ; the eyes of the fore-central pair 

 are the smallest, very indistinct, contiguous to each other, and 

 separated from the fore-laterals by less than a diameter's inter- 

 val ; the four central eyes f orm a trapezoid whose posterior width 

 is distinctly less than its length, or perhaps (including the width 

 of the eyes) nearly or about equal to it. 



The legs are rather short, slender, of a slightly reddish yellow- 

 brown hue furnished with hairs, among which are a very few 

 slender erect bristly ones. The articulations of the different 

 joints being a little paler than the rest give the legs a some- 

 what annulated appearance. 



The palpi are short, and similar in colour to the legs. The 

 radial is shorter, but rather stronger than the cubital joint, and 

 has at the middle of its fore extremity on the upper side a 

 minute, pointed, prominent process. The digital joint is very 

 small, and the palpal organs present no very noticeable processes. 



The falces are rather weak, and of moderate length, straight, 

 perpendicular, and armed with a few very minute teeth near 

 their extremity on the inner sides ; their colour is similar to that 

 of the cephalo-thorax. 



The maxillae and labium are of normal form, and similar in 

 colour to the falces ; the sternum being slightly suffused with 

 blackish. 



The abdomen is oviform, considerably convex above, but 

 scarcoly projecting over tho base of the cephalo-thorax ; its 

 colour is a dull olive-brown, its surface glossy and also thinly
