Arachuida. 



Eyes in two transverse rows on the front of the cephalothorax, more 

 unequal in size than in C. assimilata, the intermediate ones of 

 the front row being the largest and darkest of the eight. All the 

 eyes are on black spots. 



Legs provided with hairs and dark brown sessile spines. Relative 

 length, 4, 2, 1, 3. Each tar&us ends with two curved pectinated 

 claws, below which is a small scopula. Colour similar to that 

 of the cephalothorax. 



Palpi similar to the legs in colour, except the digital joint, which is 

 brownish. Radial rather shorter than the cubital joint, aud has 

 a dark brown crescent-shaped projection at its end on the outer 

 side ; the limbs of this projection are short, but the upper one 

 is much the stoutest and darkest. Digital joint large, and of an 

 obtuse-ended oval shape. Palpal organs highly developed, pro- 

 minent, and moderately complex in structure; a long filiform 

 spine is connected with them ; it issues from the inner side, 

 curves round their extremity on the edge of the digital joint, and, 

 running down that edge on the outer side, curves back up the 

 middle, ending in a fine projecting point, curved towards the 

 most prominent part of the palpal organs. These organs are of 

 a dark reddish brown colour. 



Falces moderate in length, conical, and rather projecting. Colour 

 dark red- brown. 



Maxillae straight, convex at the base, enlarged and rounded at the 

 top. 



Labium oval, notched at the top. which with the maxillae are rather 

 paler coloured than the falces. 



Sternum oval, with eminences on the sides opposite to the legs. 

 Colour dull brownish yellow, slightly darker on the margin. 



Abdomen narrow, oval in shape. Colour red-brown, thickly freckled 

 with small yellowish spots, somewhat regularly arranged, espe- 

 cially on the sides, and thinly clothed with grayish hairs. The 

 upper side has a longitudinal, dark brown, narrow, fusiform band 

 for about a third of its length, ending in a point ; an obscure 

 yellowish red line runs down the middle of this band, which has 

 an oblique line near its point on each side, followed towards the 

 spinners by two transverse angular lines and several short very 

 slightly curved ones; all these lines are pale and obscure. The 

 extremity of the abdomen close to the base of the spinners is 

 encircled by a deep red-brown ring, outside of which is a broader 

 one of pale yellow. The under side is slightly paler than the
