behind the tubercle; the margins fringed with white hairs. Ab¬ 
domen black, with a double band of sulphur-yellow hairs, the 
bands coalescent in front, narrowing behind, and almost united 
in the center by the normal triangular patch, which is, in this 
case, yellow, extending almost to the spinners; there is also a 
paler whitish anterior marginal band extending scarcely one- 
third along the sides, coalescing with the yellow band in front; 
sides deep olive-brown, becoming streaked with white hairs be¬ 
low, longitudinally; ventral area, black, with six or seven tufts 
of white hair extending transversely inwards; the anterior por¬ 
tion of the white lateral streaks bears some bright metallic- 
orange scales. Mandibles blue and green, metallic, with yellow 
hairs at the base above. Leg i. pale red-brown, clothed (except 
the femur) with yellow scales and fine black hairs above, and 
with very long yellow hairs beneath, especially on the tibia; 
femur i. clothed with bright yellow hairs beneath, with , a spot of 
white scales at the apex above, some yellow, brown, and white 
scales dorsally, and a long pencil of black hairs springing from 
the base of the dorsal ridge and curving over from behind for¬ 
wards. Legs ii. as in i, but without the femoral black pencil. 
Legs iii. and iv. pale red-brown, with whitish scales and fine 
black hairs above. Sternum, coxge, and underside of legs iii. 
and iv. with shaggy white hairs.” 
In our specimens the cephalothorax and abdomen show the 
spots only when under alcohol, and, when dry, appear as in 
Cambridge’s figure. The bands on the abdomen are white, not 
yellow. This may be the result of fading, but the yellow on 
the legs and palpi is as bright as ever. The ground color of 
the cephalothorax is velvety black, the third and fourth legs, as 
well as the first and second, are fringed with yellow, and the 
falces are black, thinly covered with short white hairs. The 
clypeus is covered with white hairs. The palpus has patches of 
yellow hairs on tibia and patella, and all over the top of the tar¬ 
sus. 
We have no female. Cambridge’s description is as follows: 
“Carapace white in front, dull yellow at the sides, purple-brown 
above, with three transverse indistinct bands of dull yellow
