The cephalothorax is of the high narrow type, the clypeus being more than twice as wide as the front median eyes. The front row of eyes is slightly procurved, the median eyes slightly less than their diameter apart and the same distance from those of the second row. The laterals have their diameter slightly smaller than that of the median, and are § of it from the median. The eyes of the second row are twice the diameter of the front median apart, and their diameter slightly more. The eyes of the third row are four times their diameter apart. In the male the front row of eyes is rather more procurved than in the female, and the eyes of the second row just their diameter apart. The mandibles are longer than the width of the cephalothorax in front. They have three large equal teeth on the lower edge of the falx-slieatli and one large between two small on the upper edge. The lip is as broad as long and less than half the height of the maxillae. The sternum is of a broad shield-sliape, thickly covered with coarse flatly placed hairs. The legs are thickly covered with short flatly placed hairs, there are no bare long streaks, and a fair number of erect bristles. On the upper side of the tibial joint the female has two spines on the 3rd and 4th pairs. In the male two on all the tibia'. The tibial joint of the palpi is longer than the patella. In the female the epigyne is narrowest anteriorly, and is 2\ times as long as it is broad at the base. The median ridge is broadest at the base and tapers anteriorly. Outside the epigyne propei', on each side of the base, is a darkened oval hollow, with its longer diameter lying longitudinally. |
