than on the other Athamas species, sperm duct clearly visible. Embolus rather long. Longest known for this genus. Dimensions - Holotype: Total length 2.65. Carapace 1.36 long, 1.2 wide at PLE, 1.0 high at PLE. AEW 0.8, PEW 0.6, eye field 0.9 long. Abdomen 1.2 long, 0.8 wide. Female: Unknown Natural history/Habitat - unknown. Distribution - Only known from the type locality, New Ireland. Material examined - Type material: Holotype male from NEW IRELAND, Lemkamin, 20.IV. 1962, "Noona Dan[ish] Exp. 61-62" Comparative material: Athamas guineensis Jendrzejewska, 1995 - WEST SAMOA: 1 male, 4 females PW-U.9, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1969), leg. J. Balogh. Det. T. Szuts (HNHM SALT376); AMERICAN SAMOA: 4 males PU-U.10, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1969), leg. J. Balogh, det. T. Szuts (HNHM SALT377); NEW GUINEA: 1 male, tube with handwritten label "Tamara" (HNHM SALT032); 1 male and 1 female from Aitape former Berlinhafen (HNHM SALT033); 1 male, tube with handwritten label "Y. Deslacs", (HNHM SALT034). Relationships - Judging from the male palp, the species seems to be a close relative of Athamas nitidus Jendrzejewska, 1995 and Athamas sp. from Pulo Anna island (Berry et al. 1996: fig. 14). However, it differs from those two species by having two tibial apophyses, which is a unique phenomenon within Athamas. Bulolia ocellata Zabka, 1996 (Figs 20-23, 24, 29, 32, 35, 38) Bulolia ocellata Zabka, 1996: 701-707. Diagnosis - Males can be recognized by their long and low carapaces. The long and numerous femoral spines of leg I and palp are also characteristic (Zabka 1996: 14). Palpal segments have unique shape (Zabka 1996: figs 3, 8), tibia with one apophysis, embolus twisted. Females unknown. Description - Male: Carapace low, tegument with granulate microsculpture, dark brown, eye field lighter, with iridescent green shine. Eye field with two lat­eral, thoracic region with one median white spot comprised by fine white hairs (Figs 20, 21, 29, 32, 35, 38). Thoracic slope with hump, covered with white hairs (Fig. 21). Eyes with black shiny surroundings, covered with fine white hairs. Chelicerae dark brown. Gnathocoxae and sternum brown. Abdomen dark, with an abdominal scutum. Two median (aproximal and distal) light spots present on dor-
