Length of the female, 5 \ths of an inch ; length of the cephalo-thorax, jth, breadth, T ' T th ; 
breadth of the abdomen, gth; length of a posterior leg, *th; length of a leg of the second pair, j|ths. 
The legs are robust, provided with hairs and spines, and of a pale, reddish-brown colour, 
with dark-brown annuli; the fourth pair is the longest, then the third, and the second pair is 
the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved, pectinated claws. The palpi are short, 
and resemble the legs in colour. The cephalo-thorax is large, and nearly quadrilateral; it 
slopes abruptly in the posterior part, is prominent in front, and projects beyond the falces; its 
colour is very dark-brown, the region of the eyes being encompassed by a red-brown band, 
clothed with red-brown and yellowish-whife hairs intermixed, and the interval between the 
eyes is supplied with long black and short red-brown hairs. The falces are strong, conical, 
gibbous in front, near the base, vertical, and armed with a few teeth on their inner surface ; 
these organs and the maxillae are of a red-brown colour. The lip and sternum, which is oval, 
have a dark-brown hue, the former being tipped with yellowish-brown and the latter thinly 
clothed with whitish hairs. The abdomen is oviform, somewhat depressed, thickly covered 
with hairs, and projects over the base of the cephalo-thorax; the upper part is of an olive- 
brown colour, with a few longitudinal, dark-brown streaks in the medial line, and some oblique 
ones of a larger size on each side of it; the whole is surrounded by an obscure, yellowish- 
brown band, below which the sides have a dark-brown hue; the under part is of a dull, 
yellowish-brown colour, with a faint, longitudinal, brown band in the middle ; the branchial 
opercula have a dull-yellow hue, and that of the sexual organs is dark, reddish-brown. 
The male is smaller than the female, and the relative length of its legs is different, the 
third and fourth pairs being equal in length, the first pair a little shorter, and the second pair 
the shortest. The red-brown band encompassing the eyes is densely covered with yellowish- 
white hairs, and its extremities, which are curved, extend to the posterior part of the cephalo- 
thorax. The thighs of the first pair of legs have a black hue, and that of the tibiae is dark- 
brown, the genual joint having a reddish-brown tint. The thighs of the second, third, 
and fourth pairs of legs are black, with a greater or less space of a pale, reddish- 
brown colour at the base. The humeral joint of the palpi is of a dark-brown hue, the 
other joints having a pale, reddish-brown tint; the radial, which is rather larger than the 
cubital joint, projects a long, obtuse, dark-brown apophysis from its extremity, on the outer
