The distinct light colored longitudinal hand which is seen 
down the middle of both cephalothorax and abdomen when the 
spider is under alcohol, disappears when it is dry. The whole 
integument is brown with a slight covering of white or yellow¬ 
ish hairs on the upper surface, growing thicker on the sides of 
the abdomen. The retreating clypeus is covered thickly with 
bright yellow hairs which grow also 1 on the sides as far around 
as the third row of ©yes. The falces are parallel, short and 
rather stout. Their color is brown, and they have fine, trans¬ 
verse, white lines across the front faces, each line being made 
of a succession of single hairs. The palpi are brown, the tarsi 
a little paler than the other joints and covered with white hairs. 
The legs are brown, lightest on the mletatarsi and tarsi. The 
first and second legs show a bluish, iridescent sheen on the pa¬ 
tella and tibia, these two joints and the femur being much 
stouter than the metatarsus and tarsus, especially in the first 
leg. The front eyes form a straight row, the middle being less 
than twice as large as the lateral. 
We have two males from Signal ITill, Cape Peninsula, col¬ 
lected by Mr. ft. M. Lightfoot. The species is named for Mr. 
W. F. Purcell, of the South African Museum, who has made 
valuable contributions to the knowledge of Arachnology in 
South Africa.

The cephalothorax is moderately high and is narrow in front, 
widening rather sharply behind the first row of eyes to its wid¬ 
est point, at the third row. Behind this it contracts in a 
rounded line to the posterior end. The highest point is at the 
third row of eyes from which the fall is rather steeper in front 
than behind. The front half of the thoracic part is convex and 
rounded. The quadrangle of the eyes occupies about two-fifths 
of the cephalothorax, is one-fourth wider than long, and is
