Fi-. Side view of cephalotliontx ot CLuionielea ornata. Abdomen. Dorsal tubercles of abdomen small, almost uniform in size, and distributed much as in C. longipes. The two median tubercles of the second row are replaceJ, however, by a single tubercle. Additional tubercles are present in the posterior median part of the abdomen, a couple being situated between the row of three tubercles and the lozenge-shaped group of four tubercles and another pair placed posteriorly to the lozenge-shaped group. Legs, Patella and tibia of first leg a little longer than metatarsus and tarsus, and with tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus more slender than is the case in C. longipe^!. Measurements in mm.

Dry foot-hills, South-east Ruwenzori, altitude 3400 feet; a single female specimen was collected by the British Expedition to Euwenzori in May .190G. Remarlcs. I'he more important differences between this new form and C. longipes are shown below. The characters of the latter species are in part taken from a female specimen from San Salvador, Congo. Ocular tubercle moderately elevated, the three spines of the cephalothorax fairly lontr; tu- berclts of dorsal surface subequal in size; patella. Please note that t
