Family — G ASTER A CANTU WES. 
Genua— CYRTARACHNE, Thor. 
68. — Cyrtarachne pallida, sp. n. 
Immature female : length inch. 
The whole of the fora part of this spider is of a pale straw-yellow colour : the normal 
grooves and indentations on the cephalothorax, as well as the occipital region, are suffused 
with whitish. The cephalothorax is short, broad behind, and hut very slightly constricted 
laterally at the caput, the fore part of which is rather broad also. The occiput has some 
strong, erect bristles, and the height of the clypcus is equal to the diameter of one of the 
fore-central eyes. The eyes are in the ordinary position : they occupy the whole width of 
the fore part of the caput, and are of a pale dull amber colour; those of the hind-cential pair 
are the largest of the eight, and are divided by an interval equal to an eye s diameter ; those 
of the fore-central pair are divided by more than a diameter, and form a line veiy slightly 
shorter than that which is formed by the hind-central pair, the four central eyes thus form- 
ing very nearly a square. 
The legs are rather short and slender, and are furnished with hairs and fine bristles only; 
their relative length is 1, 2, 4, 3. 
The palpi are short and slender. 
The falces are not very long, strong, straight, perpendicular. The maxillce, labium, and 
sternum are of normal form, and similar to the legs in colour. 
The abdomen is large, much the broadest across the middle, of a rather flattened form, 
and projects considerably over the base of the cephalothorax ; it is of dull cretaceous-whitish 
hue with a longitudinal, median, dusky-brown line, which has some fine, oblique, venose lines 
of a similar colour issuing from its hinder part ; and on either side of the fore part is a 
large, oblique, oblong, dull-brownish patch ; the under side is sooty blackish.

Adult female : length 2| lines. 
The cephalothorax is short, broad, nearly round behind, and gibbose on the thorax, on 
e ither side of the thoracic indentation : the caput, which is rather broad in front, is also 
constricted laterally. The colour is yellow-brown, paler on the margins along the medial 
line and on the outer side of the gibbous portion of the thorax. 
The eyes are small, seated on black spots, and do not differ greatly in size , they are 
placed in two transverse curved rows, occupying the whole width of the fore part of the 
caput ; the convexity of the curve of the hinder row is directed forwards, while that of the 
front row is directed backwards ; the interval between the eyes of each lateral pair is thus 
greater than that between the fore and hind-central pairs. The interval between the eyes
