There are three pairs of impressed dots down the middle, and 
the whole surface is covered with small white spots, each with 
a brown ring around it. These white spots are arranged in 
six curved transverse hands, with a few extra ones in the mid¬ 
dle line. The legs and palpi are thickly covered with yellow 
hairs. The metatarsi and tarsi of the first pair are black. 
The first leg has the femur, tibia, and distal end of patella 
thickened, while the proximal end of the patella is slender. 
On the upper side of the femur is a, single fringe, which is 
white at the proximal end and black further along; and unr 
der the patella and tibia is a double fringe, yellow on the inner, 
and black on the outer side. In some specimens the yellow hairs 
on the legs and clypeus have a distinctly reddish tinge. The 
first row of eyes is straight, with the lateral well separated from 
the middle eyes. 
We have five females from Durban, three sent by Mr. J. F. 
Quekett, and tw'o by Mr. G*. F. Leigh.

9. Length 4.5. Legs 1423, first plainly stoutest, with short 
fringe of hairs on under side of patella and tibia. 
The cephalothorax is a little wider than long, and slants 
upward from the anterior eyes. The quadrangle is plainly 
wider behind than in front, is much wider than long, and oc¬ 
cupies two-thirds of the cephalothorax. The anterior eyes form 
a straight row, and are close together, the middle being less than 
twice as large as the lateral. The second row is close to the 
first. The sternum is widest in the miiddle, pointed behind, 
and truncated in front. The anterior coxse are separated by 
barely the width of the labium, which is longer than wide. The 
falces are short, vertical and parallel. 
The cephalothorax is dark with two white spots on the ceph¬ 
alic plate just in front of the dorsal eyes, and a curved white 
band on the front part. There is a white longitudinal line on 
the middle of the thoracic part, and a good many white hairs 
are seen on the sides. The abdomen is dark, with six white
