together; two latter articles equal to digital joint; armature sparse fine hairs, numerous bristles, especially on penultimate and terminal joints; palpal claw 8 teeth, 2 basal small, 6 open teeth; free end bent forwards, base enlarged.

Falces brownish-yellow, base suffused with olive-green, apex light-brown; vertical, somewhat conical, project at base in front; length 3mm., breadth exceeds one-half length.

Maxillœ dark chocolate-brown, apices yellowish on inner side; spathulate, rather longer than broad, directed towards each other.

Labium dark chocolate-brown, yellowish apex; rather broader than long, roundly pointed, moderately everted.

Sternum dark chocolate-brown; central mark yellowish, undulating, acuminate; cordate; eminences opposite coxæ well developed.

Abdomen oviform, about as deep as broad, slightly convex above, projects forwards and upwards over base of cephalothorax; displays a tubercular eminence in front; from the somewhat pointed prominence at posterior end the abdomen dips abruptly inwards to spinners; lateral margins corrugated; humeral processes moderately developed, rounded, directed upwards and outwards, placed rather close together and somewhat forward; the integument, with the exception of a large stone-coloured somewhat circular patch on fore-part, extending backwards to base of humeral processes, has a soft velvety appearance, is of a rich-brown colour, clouded with a deeper hue (appears nearly black to the unaided eye); the darker portions sparsely clothed with erect black hairs, and the stone-coloured pattern with silky, white, adpressed hairs; dorsal field elongate-oval, moderately constricted in centre, defined by a series of spots; basal half enclosed by six spots; anterior pair rather large, lunulate, partially encircle humeral processes on outer side; four hind spots much smaller, somewhat similar in form; posterior half bordered by more or less connected dots; on fore-half is a plier-shaped figure, formed by two short parallel lines extending from anterior pair of impressed spots to stone-coloured area, between them is a pale spot; diverging backwards from near the latter are two lines thickening and curving inwardly above the second pair of impressed spots; six dots occur between the latter spot and posterior end of the oval field, four form a quadrilateral figure at the constriction, two midway between them and posterior end of dorsal field; on lateral margins are two interrupted lines, following the contour of the median area—upper defined by a series of somewhat elongated dots, second row chiefly formed by three moderately-curved marks; few interrupted oblique lines converge towards spinners; sides and ventral surface olive-green tinge; shield bordered by a broken, undulating, stone-coloured
