Show 1902.] MR. H. R. HOGG ON AUSTRALASIAN SPIDERS. 453 o ec ion He says the rear middle eyes are 1J times as far rom e laterals as from one another. There are two dried specimens (females) in the Brit. Mus. Collection, without localities, Australia 6 - Koch's specimen had no locality other than In those I have examined the eyes are black on yellow rims; except m this, the want of black markings, and the longer distance e ween median and side rear eyes, it is very near to my I. wood-wardi, above. I so ped a cor da t a L . K o ch . Isopeda cordata L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 694. Koch described this from a non-adult female from Sydney and distinguishes it by the rear row of eyes being slightly recurved and having no scopula on metatarsus iv. It has not been recorded since, and is a somewhat doubtful species. I sopeda h ir su t a L . K o c h . Isopeda hirsuta L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 693. A male from Bowen, Queensland; not recorded since. ? a^..a l%ht-c°l°ured sternum, flat cephalothorax, no spines on tibia iii. or iv. above; front row of eyes equal and equidistant, very near the margin of the clypeus. It only seems to differ from I. insignis Thor, in having the front eyes farther apart. I sopeda a u r e a L. K o c h . Isopeda aurea L. Koch, loc. cit. p. 696. Koch described a male and female (both young and undeveloped) from Port Mackay. There is in the Brit. Mus. Collection a magnificent specimen (female) which I take to be the full-grown of his species, from Queensland also. It is red-brown, thickly covered with pale yellow to orange hair, the femora with brown spots underneath. The measurements are as follows Cephalothorax ... Abdomen .............
