phalothorax is smooth and bright, only a little rugose towards the 

 sides; from the middle-fovea a row of fine punctures extends to the 

 eye-tubercle. From the outer side of the bulbus genitalis of the 

 palpus, towards its apex, there issues a thin lamina directed forwards 

 and somewhat outwards: this lamina is dilated at the free end, ir- 

 regularly triangular, and broader than it is long; its broad, emar- 

 ginated end is somewhat twisted, with the corners drawn out, and 

 has one corner directed downwards and forwards, the other upwards 

 and somewhat backwards. On the inner side of this lamina, and 

 just at its base, there arises from the bulbus a long, fine, almost 

 straight spine, pointing upwards and forwards. — The anterior meta- 

 tarsi are also above provided with some few short spines. 



A. anachoreta cf. The distance between the anterior centre eyes 

 is not fully so great as the eye's diameter, and the distance between 

 them and the anterior lateral eyes even something less; the major 

 diameter of the anterior lateral eyes is less than that of the anterior 

 centre eyes; the distances between the lateral eyes themselves and be- 

 tween them and the posterior centre eyes are less than the shortest dia- 

 meter of the eyes. The cephalothorax is everywhere, but especially 

 at the margins of the pars thoracica, coarsely and irregularly rugose. 

 The bulbus genitalis has a lamina and a spine at the apex, as in A. 

 piceus; the lamina is broadest at the free end, narrow, longer than 

 it is broad, turned outwards; its lower corner is more extended, the 

 upper is broadly rounded off, hardly forming a little angle. The 

 spine, which rises just before the base of the lamina, is slightly 

 curved , and the lamina is at its broad free end bent almost into a 

 half-circle towards or round the spine. — The fore metatarsi exhibit 

 also above several conspicuous short spines. 



The English male-specimen agrees in the points just detailed 

 perfectly with the type-specimen of A. anachoreta: it only differs, 

 as far as I can see, by its somewhat smaller size, and by a slight 

 dissimilitude in the teeth on the inner egde of the claw-furrow of 

 the mandibles, on which however no stress can be laid, as such dif- 

 ferences are sometimes observed in the two mandibles of one and the 

 same specimen. 



In the female sent me by Cambridge I cannot discover any devia- 

 tion of any consequence from A. piceus Auss. The protuberance on 

 which the anterior centre eyes are posited, is only a trifle higher than 

 in my specimens of A. piceus ?; but the relative sizes and distances
