Relative length of legs : 4, 3, 2, 1. 
Locality .—Storm Creek. Two male specimens. 
In many respects this specimen would satisfy the European genus Ctnaphosa 
Latr., (Pythonissa 0. Koch, 1837). The shape of the claws agree very well. 
However, the eyes of Cnaphosa (not hitherto found in Australia) are equal in size, 
whereas here they are of very ditierent sizes, and, provisionally at any rate, I think 
a new genus must be formed for it. Thysa has the two intermediate front eyes 
wanting, otherwise it resembles Gnaphosa.

A mutilated specimen (consisting of a cephalotliorax and three pairs of legs) 
appears to agree with the description given of this species. The legs, however, 
are longer than in the New Zealand specimens. The row of large spines described 
as on metatarsus IV. is absent, and there are short, thick, rough hairs on the 
tarsus and metatarsus very like a scopula, which the New Zealand specimen does 
not possess. The falx is protrudent below the claw instead of having a sulcus. 
Locality ,—Palm Creek. Previously described from Auckland, New Zealand.
