quadrangle, and a series of abbreviated, pale, transverse, irregular lines extending from 
the base to the spinners, to which numerous pale lines approach from the sides and from 
before, those on the anterior part of the sides being white, nearly straight, and running 
almost directly backwards; the under part is of a castaneous-brown colour, with four 
longitudinal rows of pale dots extending from the base to the spinners, and slightly 
converging. 
This spider was caught running among grass at Cranmore, in Ireland, and is very rare.

The eyes are disposed in two transverse rows on the anterior part of the cephalo-thorax; 
the posterior row is the longer, and the anterior row is situated very near to the frontal 
margin; the intermediate eyes of both rows form a trapezoid whose shortest side is before, 
those of the anterior row being the largest of the eight. The cephalo-thorax is somewhat 
oval, convex, slightly compressed before, broadly rounded in front, and thinly covered 
with short hairs; the falces are powerful, conical, rather prominent, and armed with a 
few teeth on the inner surface; the maxillae are long, straight, gibbous near the base, 
enlarged where the palpi are inserted, and at the extremity, which is obliquely truncated and 
fringed with hairs on the inner side ; the lip is moderately long, and truncated at the apex; 
the sternum is oval, with small eminences on the sides, opposite to the legs; the legs 
are robust, and are provided with hairs and sessile spines; the fourth pair is the longest, 
then the second, and the third pair is the shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved, 
pectinated claws, below which there is a small scopula. These parts, with the palpi, are of a 
reddish-brown colour, the anterior part of the cephalo-thorax, the falces, maxillae, lip, and 
margins of the sternum being much the darkest, and the legs and palpi the palest. The 
abdomen is of an oblong-oviform figure, densely covered with hairs, and projects a little 
over the base of the cephalo-thorax; the upper part is of a dark-brown colour; a broad band 
of yellowish-brown extends along the middle, and comprises a very dark-brown band, which 
tapers towards the spinners ; the posterior half of the latter band is crossed by lines of 
the same hue, forming obtuse angles whose vertices are directed forwards; the sides are of a 
dark-brown hue, and the under part has a yellowish-brown tint; the spinners are prominent,
