The cephalothorax, of the male in this species is very finely 

 and closely punctured, glossy; it gradually rises pretty considerably 

 forwards , yet so , as , when viewed from the side , to show a little 

 depression between the pars cephalica and pars thoracica, which are 

 both longitudinally slightly convex; on each side of the head, behind 

 the lateral eyes, there is a very large and deep depression, which 

 above is elongated backwards and in front is dilated downwards, 

 in consequence of which the back of the pars cephalica is unusually 

 narrow in front; there is a narrow, longitudinal middle-fovea or 

 -depression above, immediately behind the posterior row of eyes. The 

 forehead is deeply depressed between the anterior and posterior cen- 

 tre eyes; viewed from in front, the upper and narrower portion of 

 the head has perpendicular walls, with the upper corners rounded, 

 and is about half as broad again as it is high. The distance from 

 the margin of the clypeus to the anterior centre eyes is about equal 

 to the length of the area of the centre eyes, or to that of the an- 

 terior row of eyes, which row is somewhat curved forward, with its 

 lateral eyes situated at about a diameter's distance from the small, 

 contiguous centre eyes. The distance of the posterior centre eyes 

 from each other is equal to their diameter; the area of the four 

 centre eyes is very long and narrow, double as long as it is broad 

 behind; the posterior centre eyes are still farther distant from the 

 lateral than from the anterior centre eyes. The apex of tibial joint 

 of the palpus is drawn out into a broad and blunt, forward-pointing 

 lobe. — Mr Cambridge has obliged me with specimens of this re- 

 markable species.
