3rd. c, tr, f, dark and all a little longer and stronger than 2nd. 



p = i ti, both dark. 



m nearly — ti, light. 



ta ~ \ m, light. 

 4th. c < c. t , stout, length — 1| greatest breadth, dark. 



tr > c, much longest tr, light with dark sides. 



f long, clubbed, dark. 



p =: 1 ti, dark. 



tr dark, cylindrical. 



m — ti nearly. 



ta — \ m, light. 



Sternum. — Truncated between ci . i, which are about 4 width 

 apart, swells out between other c, especially between C2.3, which 

 are only a little wider than the others, tapers with undulating 

 sides to a sharp but rather short point in front of c± . 4, which are 

 in sub-contact. 



Pedicel. — Short but distinctly visible from above, j as seen 

 from above distinctly longer than j. v 1st upper lorum decreases 

 backwards, where it is procurved, much broader than 2nd. 

 Whole length of pedicel < 2 greatest width. It is received into 

 a short socket projecting from opisthosoma. 



Opisthosoma. — Egg-shaped, widest about J. ' Above general 

 colour dark greenish brown, below somewhat light, the front of 

 epigastric fold yellowish, corneous, behind a longitudinal lighter 

 band to spinners, widest at fore end, whence it reduces suddenly 

 and then parallel. 



Spinners. — 1st stout, subcorneal. 2nd longest, lightest, 

 thinnest, cylindrical. 3rd very slightly stouter, shorter, and 

 darker than 2nd. All spring from projections of abdomen and 

 are 2-jointed, with 2nd joint very short. 



Amis on a strong tubercle. 



Short Description. 



Prosoma very slightly > opisthosoma. Caput — thorax. 

 Groove narrow and shallow. Thorax well rounded behind and 

 only slightly lower than caput. Sides of caput convex. Falces =: 

 cephalothorax, subparallel, on side view much thicker towards 

 apex. Unguis slightly < paturon and with distinct prominence. 

 Teeth, upper 4 all in basal half and are close to base of unguis ; 

 lower 15 partly alternate in size. 



Palpi. — Tibia = tarsus. Fovea only occupies basal half of 

 tarsus, a spine springing from basal inner edge coils 1 1 round and 

 terminates pointing forward. 



Legs 4.1.3.2, with moderately equal intervals. Spines of 

 ti x noticeably weak but probably 5 pairs, m x 2 pairs, tr, 2 pairs, 

 very strong for 2nd leg, m 0 2 pairs. tr l and tr 4 are distinctly 

 lighter than other joints. 



Sternum rather broad. 2nd and 3rd coxse only a very little 

 further apart than the others. ,
