be at onco distinguished by the strong and unusually tumid 

 form of the radial joints of the palpi. 



Cephalo-thorax dark yellow-brown, with a broad, longitudinal, 

 deep brown band on each side of the medial line, and another 

 narrow one just above the lateral margins. The central stripe is 

 irregular on its edges. Fore part of the ocular area black. 



Falces yellow-brown, with a broadish, deep brown, longitudinal 

 band in front. Legs moderately long, 4.1.2.3., generally yellow- 

 brown ; the femora and genua deeply suffused with dark brown, 

 and marked with irregular darker lines ; tarsi and metatarsi pale 

 yellowish. Palpi moderate in length, deep yellow-brown, digital 

 and radial joints darkest ; the latter is longer than the cubital, 

 and of a roundish, nodiform, or tumid shape, particularly in 

 front. The length of the digital joint is equal to that of the 

 radial and cubital together, its extremity being somewhat drawn 

 out, its broadest part scarcely broader than the radial joint ; 

 palpal organs neither very prominent nor complex. 



Abdomen dull yellow-brown, with two longitudinal, irregularly 

 dentated, narrowish, black, converging bands, one on each side 

 of the medial line. The normal marking on the fore part has a 

 prominent point on each side, and is bifid at its hinder extremity, 

 between which and the spinners are several obtusely angular, 

 transverse lines. Within the apex of each of these, at the 

 prominent points, and at the angles of the bifid extremity of the 

 normal marking, and also within each outer angle of the 

 dentated longitudinal band, is a small tuft of nearly white hairs, 

 forming, in fact, roughly, three longitudinal lines of rather con- 

 spicuous whitish spots on the upper side. 



The sides are marked with several oblique, black, broken 

 lines. 



The under side of the abdomen has a hoary and, at the same 

 time, a somewhat speckled look, the ordinary hairs being mixed 

 with others of a black and somewhat squaniose nature, as welj 

 as with numerous short white ones. The sexes resemble each other 

 in colours and markings, but the femora and genua of the female
