The ground color of the cephalothorax is brown, darker in 
the thoracic than in the cephalic part. From the hairs that are 
left on our specimen the upper surface and sides must have 
been covered with white and bright red hairs, and there are 
two white bars on the thoracic part. Around the front eyes, 
and covering the high clypeus are short hairs of a crimson 
color, quite different from that of the red on the back of the 
spider, which has a shade of yellow.. The abdomen is paler 
than the cephalothorax and is more or less mottled with black* 
It seems to have been covered with red and white hairs, but 
with the exception of a white band around the front end and 
three white bars on the sides, the pattern is indistinguishable. 
The palpus is dark with a spot of white hairs on the tibia and 
one on the patella. The first and second legs are dark brown 
with slight black fringes under the tibiae. The third and 
fourth legs are light brown, barred with dark. 
We have one male from Durban, sent by Mr. Leigh.

Length, 6 $ 4.5 mm. Legs, 1342, first much the stoutest. 
The cephalothorax is moderately high, the cephalic and thor¬ 
acic parts being nearly on the same plane, the cephalic part 
slanting forward a little, while the thoracic falls very slightly 
in the first half, and then abruptly. It is a little narrower in 
front than behind, the sides being parallel in the middle. The 
quadrangle of the eyes occupies about two-fifths of the length, 
is one-third wider than long, and wider behind than in front. 
The anterior eyes are all subtouching, and form a straight row, 
the middle being twice as large as the lateral. The second row 
is halfway between the other two, and the third is as wide as 
the cephalothorax at that place. The falces are short, vertical 
and parallel, with a short fang and one tooth on the lower mar¬ 
gin. The sternum is oval, and truncated in front. The coxse 
of the first legs are separated by the width of the labium, which 
is as wide as long. 
In the male the cephalothorax has a dark ground color. A
