The following may be added to Westring's description. The 

 patellar joint of the palpus in c? is very short, strongly convex 

 above, not longer than it is broad: the tibial joint, viewed from 

 above, is shorter and not broader than the patellar, but somewhat 

 broader than it is long: its base on the exterior side, above, is pro- 

 duced in the form of a strong process, which immediately turns off 

 at right angles to the transverse diameter of the joint, forming a 

 coarse, straight hook directed forwards. The clava is large, and, 

 when seen from above, has the form of a short, inverted egg; it is 

 considerably longer than the two preceding joints taken together; the 

 bulbus has a fine circularly curved spine at the apex. Along the 

 back of the cephalothorax is a row of somewhat coarse hairs di- 

 rected forwards. The legs are bright red with yellow patellse and 

 yellowish tarsi. — The only specimen yet found is in my collection.

Pars cephalica in eniinentiam oMongam, plus duplo longiorem quam altio- 

 rem elevata, cujus dorsum sub-libratum est et paullo tantum arcuatum; pone 

 hanc eminentiam dorsum partis thoracica? primum rectum et sub-libratum est , turn 

 posteriora versus aequaliter et satis fortiter declive. Supra eminentia cephalica 

 sulcum medium, per totam longitudinem ejus, inter oculos medios posticos et 

 usque j ad oculos medios anticos procurrentem , ostendit, in latere vero utrinque 

 foveam magnam oblongam, parum profundam habet. Facies altitudine mandibu- 

 larum longitudinem saltern aequans, supra seriem oculorum anteriorum transverse 

 impressa, clypeo alto, fere perpeadiculari. Oculi 4 anteriores in seriem rectam 

 dispositi, medii eorum sub-contingentes, omnium minimi ; laterales quoque contingen- 

 tes, laterales antici reliquis fere majores; oculi medii postici, longe supra reliquos, 

 in ipso dorso partis cephalicse siti (ita ut vix videantur, si facies ab antice in- 

 spicitur), inter se spatio distant, quod oculi diametrum non superat; oculi 4 me- 

 dii igitur trapezium longum et angustum, postice latius formant; spatiuin inter 

 oculos medios posticos et anticos clypei altitudinem saltern tequat. Sternum et 

 partes oris testaceo-fusca. Palpi fusco-testacei , clava fusca: pars patellaris eylin- 

 drata, duplo fere longior quam latior, pars tibialis subtus ea brevior, sed supra 

 ita producta, ut desuperne visa seque longa sit aque pars patellaris, dente acu- 

 minato in apice utrinque. Clava rotundata, satis complicata, femore crassior, non 

 tam longa atque partes patellaris et tibialis conjunctim.
