RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 
moderately long, but strong yellow spines ; all the legs are 
furnished with tubercles, chiefly of a creamy-white colour, but 
these are by far the largest and most numerous on the outer 
surface of the anterior pair; tarsal claws, black. Relative lengths 
1 = 2 , 3 = 4 . 
Palpi yellow-brown, aculiate, densely clothed with coarse 
yellowish hairs. 
Falces concolorous, densely clothed with long coarse hairs, 
cylindriform. 
Maxillce pale yellowish, long, cylindrical, inclining inwards. 
Labium concolorous, rather longer than broad, truncated at 
apex. 
Sternum concolorus also, ovate, truncated in front, moderately 
convex, its surface granulated and sparingly clothed with pale 
yellowish hairs. 
Abdomen sub-pentagonal, truncated in front, slightly projecting 
over base of cephalotliorax, pale yellowish, moderately hairy; the 
superior surface furnished with tubercles, the largest of which are 
coniform ; in front there is a curved series of eight, and of these 
the central pair are much the smallest ; in an oblique line from 
the lateral tubercles of the series just described, and running 
inwards, there is on each side another tubercle, somewhat smaller 
and more obtuse, and below these again, but in a line directed 
outwards, there are on each side two smaller somewhat coniform 
tubercles ; commencing at the centre, and running towards the 
anterior extremity, there is a series of six obtuse tubercles, dis- 
posed in three rows of two each ; of these, those of the first and 
second rows are equidistant and small, whilst those of the third 
or anterior row are somewhat larger and wider apart ; at the 
broadest part of the abdomen, there is on each side a series of 
seven coniform tubercles, and of these the lateral ones are much 
the longest ; at the sides of and below these again, there are also 
one or two smaller ones ; immediately between the two series 
referred to above, and close to their inner margins, there are two 
slightly curved longitudinal rows of three each, the individuals of 
which are rather small ; from the centre, at its widest point, and 
to its posterior extremity, the abdomen is transversely furrowed, 
and these furrows are slightly procurved ; the inferior surface is 
of a somewhat lighter colour, and moderately clothed with 
concolorous hairs. Epigyne is a small, black, tubercular 
eminence.
