Unfortunately this spider after it was drawn became denuded of atl its legs, so I 
cannot give the measurements, but the drawing of them may be taken as fairly correct. 
Cephalothorax orange coloured, shghtly tinged with green, clypeus edged with red, 
lateral eyes placed on greyish blue tuberciesj eye area large ; fakes yellowish green, legs 
greenish yellow speckled with red ; abdomen more than double as long as broad, with the 
posterior half gradually tapering into a kind of tail, yellowish with the upper part densely 
speckled with red, and moreover marked with two small red spots somewhat before the 
middle, and with five or six transverse slightly undulated red lines on the posterior taiHike 
portion. 
When living this spider was of a bright grass green, and had made its nest by twisting 
up the end of a croton leaf ; in the nest was also its cocoon, out of which the young liad 
just been hatched. 
Type in my collection.
