REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON SOME 



that the clypeus is prominent, and about equals in height half of the 

 facial space, having its lower margin fringed with a row of close-set 

 pale squamose hairs ; it is of a yellow-brown colour, two broad longitu- 

 dinal bands (one on each side) being of a deeper hue ; the space between 

 these dark lateral bands has a long narrow wedge-shaped marking of the 

 same colour, beginning behind the hind central eyes and terminating 

 in a point at the hinder margin ; on the fore part of this marking are 

 three narrow, longitudinal, dark-brown stripes, the central one being 

 the longest ; the space on each side of the wedge-shaped marking is 

 thickly clothed with whitish hairs, some of a similar nature being also 

 on the marginal bands : the caput and clypeus have some long, strong, 

 black, prominent, spine-like bristles ; among these are several others 

 less strong, and of a pale diaphanous appearance. The normal con- 

 verging grooves are indicated by darker lines than the surrounding 

 surface. 



The eyes are small and in the ordinary position, forming two transverse, 

 nearly parallel, curved rows, the curves directed forwards ; the front 

 row is greatly the shortest and most curved ; the interval between the 

 eyes of the hind central pair is smaller than that between each and 

 the hind lateral nearest to it, that between the eyes of the fore cen- 

 tral pair being a little greater than that between each and the fore 

 lateral nearest to it ; and the interval between the two fore lateral 

 eyes is a little greater than that between each and the hind lateral 

 nearest to it. 



The legs are long and tolerably strong; their relative length appeared to 

 be 2, 4, 1, 3 ; they are of a brownish-yellow colour, furnished with 

 hairs, black bristles, and spines, the finer hairs having a whitish hue; 

 each tarsus terminates with two black curved claws and a claw-tuft 

 beneath them. 



The palpi are moderately long and similar in colour and armature to the 

 legs. 



The falces are moderate in length and strength, of a pale yellow-brown 

 colour, and furnished on their uppersides with a few longish, promi- 

 nent black bristles. 



The maxilla, labium, and sternum are normal in form ; they are of a 

 yellow colour tinged with brown, and furnished with black bristles. 



The abdomen is oval, moderately convex above, of a greyish yellow- 

 brown colour, dotted with hairs and spiny bristles ; of the former 

 there are many of a pale colour and squamose nature, mostly disposed 

 rather in tufts or groups on the hinder part and sides ; the spiny bristles 

 are prominent, strong, and obtuse at their extremities ; most of those 

 on the middle and towards the fore part of the upperside are black ; 

 those on the sides and hinder portion are for the most part whitish and 

 diaphanous : on the fore part of the upperside. in the central longitu- 

 dinal line, is a strong and conspicuous, nearly black, velvety-looking
