In onr single specimen the cephalothorax and abdomen are 
both rubbed so that no idea of the markings can be formed. 
The cephalothorax is dark, almost black, with violet reflections. 
The abdomen is also dark but not glistening, and shows some 
long white hairs at the anterior end and on the sides. There 
are some long whitish hairs on the falees at the lower outer cor¬ 
ner. The legs are light brown with slender black spines. The 
palpi are covered with white hairs. 
We have one male sent to us by Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall, 
from Mashonaland, South Africa. The species is named for 
Mr. J. Wood, who has collected Attidae at East London, Cape 
Colony.
