This spider is unquestionably a JAnyphia, to the species of i,which genus Blackwall says that it 'makes a near approximation by |the structure of its oral apparatus and by the disposition and rela- 1tive size of the eyes’. The legs are armed with very fine, pretty |long spines: on at least the fore legs the tibise have three Or more?) |spines, two above (which are about double as long as ihejoint’s ;)
diameter) and one on the anterior side: the thighs and metatarsi ;i
seem to be destitute of spines. The posterior row of ejes, when jviewed from above, is straight, with the eyes situated at equal dis-tances from each other, these distances being somewhat greater thanan eye’s diameter; the distance between the anterior and posteriorcentre eyes is slightly greater than the diameter of the latter. Theanterior row of eyes is almost straight, but little curved backwards, 'its lateral being separated from its centre e} r es by an inter/al almost ;equal to the diameter of the former.
