MR, H. D. BADCOCK ON 



which is cut nearly straight and about \ greatest width of 

 thorax. 



(b) Clypeus very low. Caput slightly eonvex. Groove shallow 

 and broad. Thorax rises behind it to nearly height of caput and 

 then falls with convex and concave slopes to rim, which is slight 

 but can be traced round to caput. 



Colour mahogany moderate to dark, with black eye-frame 

 broken in front of eye 4 and terminating just below the line of 

 eyes 2 and 4. In dark .species this frame is hard to distinguish. 

 Thorax a shade lighter than caput. Between the two on each 

 side a wedge of white hairs broadest below.

Eyes. — 1st row procurved by summits. 1 . 1 subcontact, 

 1 . 2 > 1 . 1 but very close. 2 >-| 1 and slightly behind it. 4 = 2. 

 3 < | 2 and very slightly nearer 2 than 4 and on the upper tan- 

 gent to 2 . 4. Eye square broader than long and 4 . 4 distinctly 

 > 2 . 2 and much > 4-rim. Eye 4 projects over edge of prosoma 

 but not at all prominently so, and the prosoma is not convex over 

 it in either view. 



Falces. — Length < k caput =1| breadth, nearly vertical with 

 slight forward slope. Outer edge convex, inner more markedly 

 sloping inwards from about | to root of unguis. On side view 

 strongly convex above with almost an angle at j so that basal 

 portion is horizontal and apical nearly vertical ; straight or 

 very slightly convex below. Unguis regular curve and regular 

 diminution in thickness from base to apex. Teeth on upper 

 margin 5 or 6, of which 3 above angle evenly spaced and of
