lateral irregular blotches; when all are absei^t but the median spot the 
form is that which was described as R. ecinctus ; cervical grooves deep 
pits; lateral grooves absent, but indicated by irregular groups of 
punctations. Eyes medium, rather salient; festoons of moderate length, 
the externals progressively shorter. 
No specimen exhibited a well-m.arked caudal process.

Female. Ornate, the scutum presenting a yellowish-white median 
posterior area, shading off to brown in the front, and variable in size and 
intensity. Capitnlum: palps rather long, article 2 somewhat prolonged
