Show 456 MR. H. R. HOGG OX AUSTRALASIAN SPIDERS. [Dec. 2, The cephalothorax very slightly longer than broad, narrowing in front to half its width ; fovea rather long and deep, with clearly-marked depressions bordering the cephalic part. The front row of eyes are equal in diameter, half of same from margin of clypeus; the median are less than one-third of their diameter apart and only half of the same distance from the laterals, three-fourths of' their diameter from the rear medians, which are slightly less than that distance in diameter and slightly farther apart. The rear row is straight, but the laterals are larger than the front laterals and a little farther from their median than the latter are apart. They bear to the latter in diameter the proportion of 8 to 5. Text-fig. 100. Typostola broomi. A, eyes; B, profile; C, support in male palp ; D, flagellum of male palp. There are no spines on tibia iii. and iv. above. The scopuke extend thickly to the base of metatarsi i., ii., & iii., and there is further a thick coating of hair on the underside of the tibia to the base of patella. The fourth pair of legs have been reproduced from the coxa and are abnormally small. The underside of the palpi has a thick divided scopula to the base of the femoral joint. The palpal flagellum and supporting-drum have about three spirals only, the latter on account of its shortness being cup-shaped. |
