[March-June 
thorax ( cf ) or slightly less ($), tibia I 22-24 ( 6 ) or 20-22 ($) 
diameters of segment long. Tibia I (without patella) slightly longer 
than femur, metatarsus shorter than tibia. Femora I-III with a d- 
spine on one-fourth of length, femur I with an additional l'-spine. 
All tibiae with the usual d-spines (basal d'^-spine 1 at 0.3-0.35) ; 
tibia I with a pair of v-spines, a 1' and a l"-spine, and a whorl of 
apical spines; tibia II with a v" and a l"-spine only, III and IV with- 
out ventrals or laterals, but apical spines present on all tibiae. Meta- 
tarsi all with a single d-spine on O.20-0.25. All spines long (3 times 
diameter of segment or more) and thin. Tm I 0.16-0.20. 
Abdomen as depicted by Ivie (1966: fig. 5), characterized by the 
inverted heart-shaped dark grey spot dorsally, followed by chevron 
and cross-bars of the same colour. 
The malp palp was depicted and described at some length by Ivie 
(1966: 224, figs. 3-4). I add the following remarks to his observa- 
tions (Figs. 5-10). Patella and tibia short and simple, the patella 
bearing a strong dorsal spine, the tibia with a number of hardly 
thickened spine-hairs. Cymbium (Figs. 9-10) with complexly modi- 
fied basal parts, but with a simple, elbow-shaped paracymbium with 
the tip of the free arm widened into a flat, rounded plate; cymbium 
proper with two sclerites, a mesal and a lateral one, which are more 
sclerotized than the distal part of the element, and which enclose, 
together with the distal part, a deep dorsal depression of the cym- 
bium ; mesal sclerite distinctly connected without seam along the 
sclerotized mesal brim of the cymbium, lateral sclerite apparently 
with membraneous connections only. Median apophysis (Figs. 5-6, 
ma) with slender base but broadening into a flat and thin plate-like 
structure; no tooth or sharp tip; spermduct leaving element at the 
inside of the curvature. Radix (Fig. 8, r) a short, centrally situated 
element, spermduct running through the element and showing a dila- 
tion in the middle (Fickert’s gland?). Embolus (Fig 8, e) with firm 
base, long and tapering to a thin, thread-like tip. Embolic membrane 
a flat but twisted membraneous structure with narrowly upturned 
brim, arising from connecting membrane between median apophysis 
and radix. 
Epigyne (Figs. 2-3) showing at either side a chitinous roof over 
the entrance of the duct, mesally separated by a narrow incision. 
Vulva (Fig. 4) showing the spirally coiled ducts, which run in loops 
in anterior direction but then turn backward again toward the thick- 
J As usual, the directions of the individual spines are noted by means of 
single or double accents, e.g. d' for pro-dorsal, d" for retro-dorsal, l' for 
pro-lateral, l" for retro-lateral, etc.
