and tarsi dark brown, approaching sepia; tarsal claws as in N. 
Fletcheri and N. Edwardsii. Relative lengths 1, 2, 4, 3. 
Palpi moderately long; humeral and cubital joints yellowish, 
the others dark brown, approaching sepia; similar in armature to 
legs. 
Falces black, glossy, vertical, divergent at apex; armed with a 
row of five teeth along each margin of the furrow of the falx 
wherein the fang lies concealed when at rest. 
Maxillce sepia, inner margins yellowish, longer than broad, 
divergent; a few coarse dark hairs on outer margins. 
Labium dark, glossy, yellowish patch in centre, about half the 
length of maxilla?; furnished with few rather long dark hairs. 
Sternum orange-yellow, dark irregular transverse band at 
middle, shield-shaped, tuberculate. 
Abdomen ovate, exceedingly convex, projecting over base of 
cephalo thorax, pale yellow, somewhat darker at posterior extremity, 
clothed with minute hairs; dorsal surface ornamented with a 
curved row of 10 minute dark spots towards anterior extremity; 
seated lower down are two other dark spots, much larger than 
those of the curved series, and each is relieved by a circular pale 
yellow patch or disc at the upper margin, in a somewhat lateral 
position; from the lower lateral margin of each spot there extends 
in an outward oblique direction a short slightly curved line, 
terminating with a minute spot ; immediately between the 
curved lines there is a short straight longitudinal line; at the 
centre of dorsal surface there are other two dark spots, more 
widely removed than former pair, and each is also relieved by a 
circular pale yellow patch or disc; midway between these two 
latter spots, and connecting them, is a series of longitudinal 
parallel and curved markings, which proceed therefrom and termi- 
nate at posterior extremity (vide fig. 2, PI. xxiil); near posterior 
extremity, and inside lateral longitudinal lines, there are two 
small yellow discs separated from each other by two parallel lines; 
laterally the abdomen is much darker, and is ornamented with 
four broad white irregular bands; ventral surface dark brown,
