level as far as the thoracic junction, whence the posterior slope is 

 distinct but not very abrupt ; between the occiput, which is rather 

 rounded, and the thoracic junction is a very slight, shallow 

 depression. The clypeus is almost vortical, and its height is less 

 than half that of the facial space. On the fore part of the 

 caput and along the central line, backwards, are a few strong 

 bristly hairs. 



The eyes are of tolerable size, seated on black spots, and 

 occupy tho wholo width of the fore extremity of the caput ; the 

 interval between those of tho hind-central pair is distinctly 

 greater than that between each of them and the hind-lateral eye 

 on its side, being nearly about equal to a diameter ; those of the 

 fore-central pair are contiguous to each other, and oach is 

 separated from the fore-lateral on its side by less than its own 

 diameter. The diroction of tho latoral pairs is slightly oblique. 

 The four central eyes form a square, whose foro side is rather 

 shorter than the rest. 



The legs are rather long, slender — 4.1.2.3. — and furnished 

 with hairs, and a few spine-like bristles. 



The palpi are short and slender ; tho radial and cubital joints 

 equal in length ; the former very slightly produced and rounded 

 at the foro extremity on the upper side, and furnished with 

 bristly hairs, and the latter has a single, prominent, tapering, 

 slightly sinuous bristle at tho fore extremity of its upper side. 

 Tho digital joint is small and of a narrow or somewhat oblong- 

 oval form, rather exceeding in length tho radial and cubital 

 joints together, and clothed with bristly hairs, especially at the 

 fore extremity. The palpal organs are not very complex ; at 

 thoir baso on the outer side is a strong, bont, somewhat crescent- 

 shaped, corneous process, the foro part being strongly emarginate, 

 and at their extremity is a small, straight, sharp, black, thorn- 

 like spine in contact with some semitransparont membrane. 



Tho falces are vertical, tolerably long, but rather weak and 

 divergent. Tho sternum is similar in colour to tho abdomen, 

 which last is clothed with strong bristly hairs. 



Tho fomalo resembles the male in general form and colours,
