on the posterior surface, one of them in each case being situated near the apex : 
!| it is scopulate in the distal third. Metatarsus II is similarly spined but is not 
scopulate, nor is there a scopula on III or IV. Tibia I with a pair of distal spur- 
bearing tubercles, the more distal tubercle with one curved black spur at the 
apex and a curved spine at its base, the other tubercle comparatively weak, its 
spur being sigmoidly curved: in addition, there is a row of three long spines 
along the anterior surface, about eight on the lower surface including one at 
the apex, also one on the posterior surface. Tibia II with three spines at the 
I apex inferiorly, six on the lower surface, three on the anterior surface, but none 
on the posterior surface: III with three spines at the apex inferiorly, also five 
or six on the lower surface, two on the anterior surface and three on the 
posterior surface. Patella I with two spines at the apex inferiorly, II with 
only one spine thus situated, III with a row of three short spines on the anterior 
surface, IV without spines.

Labium and basal portions of the maxillae armed with numerous very 
minute elongated cusps. Altogether there are about thirty-six such cusps on 
the labium. 
Chelicerae with nine teeth in the inner row, the apical one being small and 
the third from the base minute, or with ten teeth altogether the third and the 
fifth being minute: the outer row extends nearly as far as the inner row and 
includes eight small teeth and about six minute ones at the base of the series. 
Pedipalps. At the apex of the tibia on its outer side is a row of three very 
stout spines : on the inner side distally there is a single fairly strong spine and 
a similar spine occurs more ventrally, quite near to the apex and in the same 
longitudinal line with two stouter bristles of the ventral tuft.
