yellow, rather clouded with brown towards the margin. Space 

 occupied by the eyes black, and from and behind this space 

 issues a thinnish tuft of strong bristly hairs, curving forwards 

 and downwards. 



Eyes set about the prominence on the fore part of the cephalotho- 

 rax, on geminated black spots, in two rows curved slightly away 

 from each other. The eyes of the side pairs are very near 

 together, but do not touch each other. The centre ones of the 

 hinder row are wide apart, and those of the front row are 

 almost contiguous. The end ones of the front row are the 

 largest of the eight, the other six being nearly uniform in size. 



Legs long, rather slender, of a brownish yellow colour, slightly 

 tinged with greenish, furnished with longitudinal rows of brown 

 hairs, and a few fine spines of a darker colour. An erect spine 

 issues from each of the genual joints. Their relative length is 

 1, 2, 4, 3, the third pair being considerably the shortest. 



Palpi short and slender. The cubital and radial joints about equal 

 in length ; the latter is much the stronger, protuberant at its 

 extremity, and has a tuft of strongish hairs on its upper side, 

 but no marked projections. Cubital joint furnished with a long 

 bristly hair, issuing forwards from the upper side of its lower 

 extremity. Digital joint hairy ; it has a prominent lobe on the 

 outer side, and a strong, dark red-brown, corneous projection, 

 issuing from its base near the radial joint on the outer side, and 

 curving across it to the inner side. Underneath this projection 

 the base of the digital joint has a curved conical prominence, 

 pointed in the same direction. The palpal organs are highly 

 developed, prominent and complicated, consisting of lobes and 

 irregular processes, of a red-brown colour ; two prominent, 

 black, curved spines, parallel but not close together, enveloped 

 in membrane, issue from underneath the outer side towards 

 their extremity, and curve under towards the inner side. 



Falces moderately long and strong; divergent at their extremities. 



Maxillae long, strong and straight, and, with the labium, which is 

 short and semicircular, of a yellowish colour clouded with 

 brown. 



Sternum of a black-brown colour, clothed with longish hairs. 



Abdomen oval, not very convex on the upper side, thinly clothed 

 with hairs. Upper side straw-yellow. A large irregular patch 

 of black-brown occupies the forward half, and is succeeded by 

 several transverse angulated bars of the same colour (the angles
