dentated, pale dull yellowisli-brown band slightly spotted with brown. The cephalothoi ax 
has a median longitudinal band edged with white hairs like that of 0 . rectifascicita. 
The eyes are in a similar position to those of that species, hut at the same time are rat ier 
more separated from each other. ... 
The legs are rather long, of a dull, darkish yellow-brown colour, armed with spines , 
and their relative length appears to he 4, 2, 1, 3. . . 
The /Wees are similar to the last species in form and size, and are of a dark shining 
yellow- b rowoi. deeper in hue than the legs. 
The maxillae are yellow-brown, palest at the extremities, and the labium is of the sam 
colour, with a pale apical margin. _ , 
The sternum is yellowish, with a distinct, broadish, yellow-brown marginal border, an 
is clothed with coarse grey, and a few dark-brown, hairs.

It is not without considerable hesitation that I have included this very interesting spine 
in the genus Trochosa. It is probable that future collectors will discover other species 
presenting similar special peculiarities in the position of the eyes, joined to the rather shor , 
but strong, unattenuated legs of the present spider ; in which case it might become necessary 
to form a separate genus, or ub-genus, for their reception. . 
The cephalothorax is oval, broad, and truncate at its fore extremity ; the margiR a 
lateral constrictions of the caput are slight, and the height of the clypeus is at least equal to, 
or even exceeds, double the diameter of one of the central eyes of the front row. Its colour 
is yellowish, with a narrow marginal band, and two broad longitudinal lateral bands, ot a 
rusty red-brown hue, leaving a rather indistinct, median, tapering, yellowish band strong 7 
constricted near the occiput, and having a large part of its surface along the middle line 
suffused with rusty red-brown, and containing towards its hinder extremity the thoraci 
indentation, which is marked by a fine, deep red-brown line: the middle of each side 
occupied by a longitudinal, well-defined, but not very broad, yellow band. The fore pan 
the area enclosed by the middle and posterior rows of eyes is of a dark rcddisli-brown colour’ 
the hinder part of this patch contains two oval, parallel, yellowish markings. Sometim 
the slender red-brown lines defining the outer sides of these oval markings are obsoie ^ 
leaving a short, dark red-brown stripe, ending a little way behind the posterior row of ey> 
its termination, more or less, laterally dilated. The broad lateral rusty-brown bands 
traversed by numerous deep red-brown lines, all radiating or converging to the thora 
indentation. The surface of the cephalothorax is covered with yellow-grey pubescence, 
there are numerous blackish bristles on the upper part and sides of the caput. ^ 
The eyes are in the usual three rows — 4, 2, 2 ; the central pair of the first row are 
than the laterals, and are divided by an interval exceeding a diameter, and each is very ’ 
but not quite contiguous, to the lateral on its side ; the front row is very slight y, ij er 
thing, shorter than the second ; the eyes of the second row are, if anything, slig i 7 
than those of the third row, those of both the second and third rows being very consic
