MR. H. D. BADCOCK ON 



sides with very oblique long truncation, groove distinct. Upper 

 margin, one small ^tooth at angle with one smaller above it, and one 

 or more very small below. Lower margin, one tooth half way to 

 angle and two at angle, one of which is fairly large ; these two 

 may, however, be really one with two cusps. A strong and long 

 scopula of light hairs on outer margin. 



Maxilla. — -Moderate, length = lj breadth, subparallel, being 

 slightly wider in front than at base. Outer apex rounded, inner 

 obliquely truncated with scopula. Serrula from well before 

 outer rounding to truncation. 



Labium. — Length > J, maxilla, broader than long, strongly 

 barrel-shape. 



Palpi. — -Remarkably long = about | leg 4. Tr simple, much 

 broader than long, breadth = nearly least width maxilla ; f length 

 == prosoma, cylindrical, slightly S curved ; p very short, < J. ti ; 

 p + ti>f, ti < f and slighter, S curved; four stout bristles at 

 lower apex pointing directly forward and reaching beyond base 

 of fovea ; a short sharp apophysis pointing directly forward at 

 lower outer apex. Ta a little > p, very short, subelliptic, with 

 blunt point and fovea occupying about half of it. Organs have 

 largish but flat bulb ending in blunt-pointed extension forward. 

 Style springs from centre and points forward over extension of 

 bulb, ending in a sharp black spine-like point. 



Legs. — Only 1st and 3rd on one side remain, 1st being much 

 stronger and about twice as long as 2nd. 

 1st. c length = nearly 2 breadth. 



tr, a few short dark hairs at ridge, fore section distinctly < aft. 

 f, 2 or 3 spines at top in longitudinal row, a very few 



smaller at side, 

 p = J ti, hairless. 



ti slightly curved, slenderer than f ; 3 or 4 spine pairs and 



a few spines along upper sides, 

 m nearly = .ti, two spine pairs below but stronger and a few 



at sides. 



ta = ^ m, hairless, 2 claws with 5 teeth and fasciculus. 

 3rd. Genera] proportions as 1st, but much shorter and f 

 stronger. Spines on back of f and p, others as 1st. 



Sternum. — Cordiform, as broad as long, very smooth, front 

 corners rounded, rear point rounded. ci.i == full width of 

 sternum. C4. 4 = width of c r 



Pedicel. — Short and stout, with a darker narrow lorum above. 



Opisthosoma. — -Very much damaged, but appears to be almond- 

 shaped from above, with two or more pairs of spots in a longi- 

 tudinal series at the fore part above. On a side view very high 

 in front, rising vertically or with a slight overhang from pedicel 

 and falling with a straight slope to spinners. 



Spinners compact, short. 1st stout at base, tapering, 2- 

 jointed. 2nd slender, longer, cylindrical. 3rd in shape and 

 proportions between 1st and 2nd. 



Anal tubercle. — Wide and noticeable.
