upon a strongish tubercle ; those of the fore-central pair are very 

 •mall and indistinct, contiguous to each other, and, looked at 

 from in front, form an exactly straight line with the fore-lateral 

 eye on each side. The length of the line formed by each fore- 

 central eye with the hind-central on the same side is very little, 

 if anything, greater than that formed by the hind-central pair 

 the height of the clypeus rather exceeds half of that of the 

 facial space. 



The legs are moderate in longth and strength ; those of the 

 first and fourth pairs scarcely differ in length, those of the third 

 pair being shortest. Their armature consists of hairs, a few erect 

 ones being disposed along the upper sides of the tibiae and meta- 

 tarsi. 



The falces are tolerably long and strong, very nearly perpen- 

 dicular, and divergent at their extremities. 



The palpi are rather short ; the radial and cubital joints are 

 about equal in length; the former is the strongest, and is a 

 little produced at its fore extremity on the upper side, but has 

 no distinct process or apophysis ; it is furnished with hairs, of 

 which some form a rather prominent group or tuft near the 

 middle of the outer side. The digital joint is small, with a large 

 lobe on the outer side, giving it a somewhat subtriangular form. 

 The palpal organs are well developed, but not very complex ; 

 there is a large prominent lobe-like process towards the outer 

 extremity ; a long slender black spine issues from inside the pro- 

 cess, and taking a very sinuous form projects its much-bent 

 filiform extremity beyond the palpal organs in contact with, or 

 enveloped in delicate membrane. 



The abdomen is of a rather narrow-oval form, glossy, of a 

 dusky black hue, and thinly clothed with hairs. 



The foregoing description applies specially to the male. 



The female resembles the male in colours and other general 

 characters. The upper part of the caput is less gibbous, and the 

 interval between the hind-central and hind-lateral eyes is con- 

 sequently less, as also is the height of the clypeus.
