than in some other species of the genus; its lateral margins are slightly suffused wi 1 W e( j 
The eyes are of moderate size, in the usual four pairs, and tolerably c ose j g „ 
together; those of the hinder row are equidistant from each other, and those of the 
central pair are a little further from each other than each is from the fore-lateral eye 
side; the four central eyes form nearly a square whose fore side is rather shorter t 
hinder one ; the height of the clypeus exceeds half that of the facial space. but 
The leas are slender and not very long ; they are a good deal denuded of armatu , 
are apparently furnished with hairs and bristles, many of the latter hem o a s ci ’ ^ . g

shoulder ; it is of a yellow-brown colour, completely covered above and on e S1 ce 
irregular, but closely-fitted, yellowish-white spots, the interstices of which have the app 
of fine yellowish-brown reticulations. Along the middle of the forepart is a < u a ] s o

This spider is very nearly allied to Theridion denticulatum ( W alck.), which ltll0 ugh 
size and form, hut is, I think, quite distinct. It is altogether of a browner bue,am, 
the markings on the abdomen are very similar, there is an important difference i a 
longitudinal, dentated hand, the hinder part of which is, m the present sp > 
narrow, undenticulate, pale stripe.
