Peclcham—Spiders of the Family Attidae. 205 
The abdomen has a scalloped white band low on the sides, which 
is edged, above, with velvety black. The upper part of the 
back is covered with white and reddish hairs, the white ones 
concentrating to form a central patch at the front end, two 
curved bands in the middle, and a series of chevrons on the pos¬ 
terior part. The legs have patches of white and red hairs, and 
the upper surface of the femur of the palpus is covered with 
snow-white hairs. 
In the female the cephalothorax is black with a snow-white 
band around the margin and a longitudinal white band on the 
thoracic part. The abdomen is black with a wide longitudinal, 
foliated band of mixed white and red hairs. On this band is 
a series of black chevrons. The legs are black with some short 
light-colored hairs. The palpus has the proximal end of the 
femur black, and the other parts light yellowish brown, with 
long, white hairs. The clypeus is dark and is almost hidden 
by the heavy, projecting, darkly iridescent falces. The under 
parts are brown excepting the sternum, which is black, with 
long, yellowish-white hairs. 
We have a male and a female from Mashonaland, sent by 
Mr. Marshall. 
Philaeus manicus sp. nov. 
Plate XXIY, figs. 1, la. 
<3. Length 8 mm. Legs 1342, stout and hairy. 
In its general appearance this species strongly resembles 
Phidippus, but. its characteristics bring it into the genus Phil¬ 
aeus. There is one conical tooth on the inferior margin of the 
falx. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is one-fourth wider than long, 
is a little wider behind than in front, and occupies two^fifths 
of the cephalothorax. The front row is a little curved, all the 
eyes being small, the lateral being more than half as large as 
the middle and separated from them:. The thoracic part is 
plane through half its length, and then falls. The second row 
of eyes is half way between the others, and the third is much 
narrower than the cephalothorax. The lip is longer than wide.
