AKANEIDEA. 
77 
The abdomen is oval, moderately convex above, but a little flattened on its upper side ; 
its colour is stone-white, speckled with very minute blackish points, and with a dull brownish 
somewhat emarginate lanceolate marking along the middle of the fore half of the upper side, 
followed by a series of obscure, and almost confluent, diminishing, angular bars of the same 
hue.

Family- LYCOS ID JES. 
8TOLIOZKA, genus novum. 
Ryes unequal in size ; in two transverse, rather widely separated, slightly curved, and 
nearly parallel rows, the front row much the shorter, and the convexity of the curves directed 
forwards, the fore-lateral eyes considerably larger than the fore-centrals. 
Cephalothorax longer than broad, strongly constricted at the caput on the lateral 
margins, the fore extremity being truncated and a little broader than the constricted part. 
MaxiUce moderately long, strong, broader at their extremity than just above the in- 
sertion of the palpi ; their outer extremity rounded, the inner one obliquely truncated. 
Labium short, convex in front, of a somewhat oval form, truncated at its apex. 
Legs moderately long, strong, relative length 4, 1, 2, 3, spinous ; and the tarsi are fur- 
nished with three claws. 
The abdomen is rather small, but broader behind than before. 
This genus is allied closely to Nilus (Carnbr., Spiders of Egypt in E. Z. S., 1876, p. 596> 
pl. ix, fig. 13), but, among other differences, the great disproportion in size between the 
fore-central and fore-lateral eyes is an essential one. 
97. — Stoliczka insignis, sp. n. 
Adult female : length rather over 5 lines. 
The ceplialothorax is clothed with a short sandy-grey pubescence ; its colour is deep 
brown, with a broad longitudinal band and a narrow irregular lateral one, on each side, a little 
Way from the margin, of a much paler, yellow-brown hue. The median hand has, on each 
side, a little way behind the ocular area, a slight enlargement in the form of a small, angular 
point ; this is most conspicuous in young examples, but is traceable in adults as w ell, and is a 
strong specific character. The height of the clypeus is equal to the diameter of a fore-lateral 
eye. 
The eyes of the hind-central pair are very much nearer to each other than each is to the 
bind-lateral eye on its side, being separated by no more, or even by less, than a diameter s 
interval ; those of the fore-central pair are rather further from each other than each is from 
the fore-lateral eye next to it ; the length of the front row is as nearly as possible equal to the 
length of the line formed by either three of the eyes, adjacent to each other, of the hinder 
row : the hind-lateral eye on each side is equally distant from the hind-central and fore-central 
e ye next to it, forming the apex of an isosceles triangle; and the four central eyes form a 
quadrangular figure whose longitudinal is much greater than its transverse diameter, and 
whose anterior side is slightly shorter than its posterior one.
