MR. 11. D. BADCOCK ON 



p =^ti, curvQcl downwards, no spines. Light above and 



below, dark sides, 

 ti. 3 pairs of feeble spines evenly spaced, with a 4th pair 



extremely short and feeble at extreme apex often missing. 



Light above and below, dark sides, 

 m > | ti. 2 spine pairs stronger than on ti but much weaker 



than on m 1 , basal is largest, apical only just reaches ta. 



Light above and below, dark at sides, 

 ta < | m. Light. 

 3rd. c a little larger and more cylindrical than 2nd c, brown, 

 tr short, cylindrical, brown, 

 f brown, slightly clubbed at base. 



p short, carved downward, brown except for light patch 



above at basal end. 

 ti brown except at tip where light above, 

 m nearly — ti, light above and below, brown sides, 

 ta > m, light. 

 4th. c > c 3 but not more than | c v cylindrical, brown. 



tr larger and a little slenderer than c, cylindrical, light, 

 f long and slightly clubbed at base, brown, 

 p as p 3 . 



ti brown throughout, slender. 



m very long, nearly = ti, slender, brown except for very 



small lighter patch at upper apical end. 

 ta = £ m, light above and below, dark at sides. 



In general appearance the posterior legs are much darker than 

 the anterior, and the light (almost white) 1st c and tr and 4th tr 

 are very noticeable. 



Sternum.— Lanceolate, short-pointed between ci.i, which are 

 | their width apart. Widest from C1.2 to C2'. 3, thence tapering 

 to a long point in front of C4.4, which are in contact. Sides 

 undulate to accommodate coxae but do not run into points 

 between them. Broad for the genus, being > width of middle 

 coxae. Gaps Ci . 2 ftnd C2 . 3 about equal and not materially greater 

 than C3 4. Colour mahogany, lighter than coxse 2, 3, 4. (Text- 

 fig. 4, b) 



Pedicel. — Short but visible from above. First joint covered 

 by brown plate overlapping second. Second joint longer and 

 covered by longitudinal narrow plate. Whole length of pedicel 

 not greater than its w dth. It is received into a short projecting 

 socket in abdomen. 



Opisthosoma. — Egg-shaped from above, widest about f back. 

 From side overhangs in front and about same level for first -f. 

 Above, general colour a dark green-brown. Below, general colour 

 the same but coarser, and at sides distinctly composed of darker 

 lines separated by light spaces. Lung-sacs very wide apart and 

 dark red-brown, space between around epigyne lighter red-brown. 

 A. smoother and darker longitudinal band from epigastric fold to 

 spinners, slightly wider at spinners. 

 Epigastric fold procurved.
